My guess is that those posts are from Eglin, or Tel Aviv.

They've started to make a move. On a positive note, this suggests that Saidit is a credible enough information threat to finally take seriously.

You should start your own sub that is dedicated to crossposting this kind of crap. This would be useful to the community, by creating a community reported log of these shenanigans.

Name the sub, "Tel Aviv to suck my Eglin".

There, I Saidit!

Very valid point. Lots of other online forums have suffered the same treatment. The attackers usually follow the same script:

1 post something super racist

2 upvote said post to top spot

3 discredit the site by calling them out on racist post - "see this shit they upvote?"

Yup exactly. Here are some other techniques used to destroy forums: https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm

The more we're aware of these possibilities, the tougher it is for us to be tricked.

....is anyone getting flashbacks to reddit after reading this shit!

Yeah it's like /r/politics in a nutshell, haha

Good call.

That would be a good idea, I think. If a user can be proven to be maliciously posting disinformation with the intent to destroy or degrade saidit, and also refuses to respond to debates or discussions about the content they are posting, then I am interested in getting rid of them. Saidit is a place for discussion and thoughtfulness, not propaganda and tabloid nonsense. I want to protect this. But the community is going to have to make that happen through their posts and votes, I can't fix it all through admin actions, there's simply far too much information every day to go through by myself. The community has to drive what this site is about at the end of the day, through votes and comments and posts. But if a particularly bad user or group of users can be highlighted and proven to me to be working to attack saidit, I will take action.

Additionally, Saidit admin should expect significant outside pressure for obvious reasons.
You guys are plenty busy, I'm sure.
Having other responsible community members mod such a sub would provide a layer of separation that may prove useful in the future.

I have another suggestion for the sub name.

Oh obviously. We've been dealing with people trying to destroy saidit since day 1. I appreciate the concern, because it is a real issue. I'm glad to see the post and comments here, people wanting to help make saidit better.

Here's a couple ideas for sub names:

SaiditDisinfoWatch

SpotBadActors

One of these weeks I'm going to create many of the sub titles in this list, so long as I have something to topically post : https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt#SaidIt_Subs

In there are a few related to this topic. UK, USA, USEmpire, US+Israel, Zionism, Ziocons, among others. These are not particularly imaginative but aren't meant to be.

For the problem of this discussion I recommend:

InfiltratorWatch

yay! :-)

[–]Vigte 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (14 children)

Yeah and next day the Saidit Canary will disappear - as will you!! lol

Terrible (and great) time to be alive!

[–]Vigte7 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (13 children)

Live free, or live in fear.

They'll be giving Magnora7 serious problems before they start knocking folks off...

[–]Vigte 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

You almost gave me a fucking stroke! lol

Huh? ;-)

Now I have to suspect everyone til I figure this out lol

[–]wizzwizz4[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Where did you get your username idea from? And same to /u/Vigte7.

[–]Vigte 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Well obviously Mr "Me+7" is someone trolling me - as for me - it was a choice of name meant to ingratiate me with some people I was trying to investigate and let's leave it at that lol.

[–]wizzwizz4[S] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

Yeah. Two posts only; obviously a troll. :-)

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I think it's the same person spoofing as /u/Froglich and I know who that is.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's prolly the same chucklehead who doubles ad Froglich.

[–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

in the nwo, the only freedom left is the freedom to fear

That's a great idea.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

Thanks. ;-).

What about the sub name??? I like the idea of these turds automatically getting that x-post message.

It may not be very funny if English is a person's seconds language. It needs to be said out loud.

Anti-Shillery?

[–]Mnemonic 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Shilling is too specific, it's 'marketing' something (like the coolest sub around: /s/Internet).

Dumping toxicity deliberately to give someone/thing a bad reputation is a broader phenomenon than just 'shill' stuff.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Hmmm... you're probably right...

Propaganda Watchers.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Toxic dump?

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

Sounds too much like anti-Hillary.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

That's fine by me. Remember the Reddit paid takeover from the elect Hillary shills. 90% Bernie to 80% Hillary overnight.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

True.

Hillary's corrupt as fuuuuuuck. Bernie's a coward when it counts.

Let's say we run them both again to keep out any legit leadership.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Bernie did better than he imagined in his wildest dreams. He didn't want to commit Arkancide (2 shot gun blasts). His stepping aside was prearranged.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Obviously I don't want anything bad to happen to Bernie, but if he were to mysteriously suicide himself in handcuffs with to shots to the back of the head - I'm quite sure that might wake some folks up. His martyrdom would have done more for all his causes. He's already an old fart. What's he gonna do with a couple decades if he's lucky that he couldn't do while resisting the corruption.

FUCK BERNIE He should have thrown himself on the grenade. Millions of others have for much much much less.
