I have always been thankful for the work the mods put into DAR, and I'm not questioning any decisions made about the sub's shills. I stand by my point though, I think a lot of the veteran posters have grown disinterested with the sub due to the low quality discourse. We literally have a guide to detecting shills on the sidebar, because there used to be a time when DAR didn't tolerate concern trolls and shills.

There's a difference between saying that people lost interest in the sub because of low quality discourse and saying they lost interest in the sub because of shills. The real reason people lost interest in coming here is because of the decline in both discourse and reach since the Reddit days, but that doesn't really have anything to do with shills.

You understand the shills are the primary drivers of low quality discourse right? By low quality we're talking about disingenuous posts like radicalcentrists latest shitpost where he rambles about how "the government" should make "low birth rates" a crime, or something. It's been a steady stream of retard tier nonsense and concern trolling from the same bad faith actors.

At least they're making posts. If the low quality posts were drowning out good ones in a sea of white noise, it would be a different issue, but as things are right now I really do not see the problem.

Saiditkang prefers a forum where no one posts at all, since he has never created content.

Both him and Nordmannen are idiots anyway. They only show up 6 months and then disappear. They're probably the same account too, now that I think about it...
