Saidit is being infiltrated and manipulated by paid shills. This is how the fall of Reddit started and if we aren't vigilant, the same could happen here.

The fix is for saidit admins to hand out some IP bans to the worst offenders

The worst offenders have infinite IPs, unique with every page request, that are not bound to any range or subnet. So IP bans are happening to them, even to entire ranges of IPs, but it accomplishes basically nothing, because they just make another completely different one.

    If anyone is honestly gaming points on a website where points run the show, they should be shut down regardless of what site or political leanings are involved.

      I'm not on reddit because reddit is obnoxiously left-leaning.

      And no, I don't see how banning literally bots and shills is a problem.

        I get a new IP addy when I restart my router.

        They could ban everyone from your ISP, that would be fun eh?

        That bans half of Houston.

        A sacrifice I'm willing to make

        Banning a million people to ban me also bans potential existing and future users in the area.

        Houston is rubbish anyway

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

        Are you saying you think I should be banned at all costs? Or is this more of a thought exercise.

        [–]iamonlyoneman 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

        Whichever you find to be more amusing, let's go with that.

        I'm just curious, I'm kind of polarizing.
