If you are new here you probably don't know this, but this board is under constant heavy attacks from paid posters propagating certain agendas, as well as a lot of people trying to destroy the board culture till nobody cares about it anymore. Especially now, with many pressuring topics like Seth Rich, Comey, North Korea, Qatar and others the shills are out in full force.
Usual tactics include:
- bait threads (threads that offend you and make you reply like "how can X compete" "x btfo" "is X redpilled" etc.)
- heavy bait threads (threads that are downright so annoying you want to punch the OP like "*kills baby* my body, my choice sweetie :)")
- slide threads (threads that distract from ongoing political events with "what happens here?" "can we save women?" etc.)
- drumpf threads (threads that offend Trump voters to involve them in debates without real topics like "I regret my vote so much!!")
- /b/-tier & /x/-tier threads (sometimes the other boards post here because it is the most active, "flat earth", "give advice on X" etc.)
- emigration threads / posts (threads that suggest /pol/ is shit or dead and that people should start leaving it)
- LARP threads (threads that pretend that something is happening like "REALLY HAPPENING WW3 NOW!!" or "I am an FBI insider, AMA.")
- over-the-top conspiracy posting (anons that spam pictures of random handsigns, vague connections with no info behind)
- defeatist posting (anons that claim that believing we can save the board is naive and that you should just give up and leave)
Please know that those threads are about 85% of the board, if not more sometimes. Replying to those threads without putting "sage" (without quotation marks) in the options field bumps those threads to the top and lets good topics slide, therefore undermining the real discussion and real investigations going on. Please do not participate in helping paid shills and normies making it harder for everyone to keep track of good topics.
If you have been here longer please contribute by reminding new posters of this and posting infos on shill and slide strategies, as well as not giving in and leaving for other boards.

You think we don't realize this?
Your strategy of saging everything is fucking stupid, because newfriends won't do that.
So what you do is foster actual conversation within the slide threads.
If you think we can be influenced by subliminal repetition, you don't know who is contained here.

>I disagree with a posters opinion therefore they are a shill
cool logic bro, most are just flaming to get a response and don't actually believe their own posts content.

It's not a bug. It's a feature.

>>128980201
Add to that they are also very strong against White nationalist causes. They use every demoralizing technique they can and will fill a thread with rubbish hoping to shut down meaningful debate. It is actually pretty serious. I actually think three are tag teams on here too - either that or one person using multiple proxies.
>>128980201
Don't worry Hans, we aren't going anywhere. But I do appreciate the helpful reminder regarding the infestation.

Well, I think that a discussion on vales is indeed something important and something that can be discussed, but do you really think BIG BLACK COCKS contribute anything to the discussion? After some time on this board it occured to me that your mother will die in her sleep if you don't reply to this post, and that's when I realised how bad the situation really was.
>>128981632
Plebbitors didn't obey it.
Might want to include in that list DnC or "Punching Right" threads - those threads are all a total waste of time, people who engage in those threads are either shills or just dumb, ignore them.

>>128981735
Well obviously not that shit but the example was how to save western women. It's true a lot of them open with stupid jokes but that's a section of /pol/s humor.
I also see value when people start obvious bait threads but consider that somebody reading them may be exposed to well hashed out ideas for the first time.

I agree there is SOME value to it, and that it exposes people to topics they would never think about usually. But I just don't think it is good when those threads make up 8% or more of the board while real topics like Qatar and Saudi Arabia (a situation that could probably lead to the biggest war of the last 40 years) get ignored.

Some definitely are, but many are from reddit or some other site and think it's edgy to post here or whatever the fuck.
Remember to report shit threads. It really helps.
>>128980201
What is /pol/ without these threads? That is literally 80+% of the content here. Is everything I read coming from a shill? I sage almost every thread I post in, and report half of them. I feel like this is a losing battle. Maybe a new board should open so the shills can argue with each other forever.
Only other options is cripplechan which is either literally Hitler or literally Stalin.

Report all low quality obvious slide threads. Pic related for some uplifting motivation.
90% of threads now are just counter-signalling / concern trolls
>>128985544
I wonder why...
>>128981702
it's at least one person. probably teams though. by nature, we'll never know how many
they likely run something like qubes, and have multiple separetly purchased static IPs or VPNs to run with different OS's. can post as anybody. a pretty common tactic is they start conversations with themselves in threads.
for example if you ever see a post, and then a moderately well thought out post submitted like 15 seconds after the first that >> the first post, it's that. they typed out both posts, submitted the first, >>'d it, then submitted the second.
ID's are pretty much useless, but you can spot it in how the people phrase things. such as one post being gramatically correct, and then the other using tons of words like "pls, tho, i, etc", same for puntuaction (use of neet vs NEET vs Neet). its because the average person is something in the middle, so in order to look like multiple they have to utilize extremes

Fuck me, I was doing a post and I was take for a shill I think and they delete my bread.
Anyway it doesn't matter I was a retard, but this manipulation shit is happening so fucking hard. YouTube video about I was really redpilling. Thanks anon for the info.

There is actually professional grade software for sockpuppeting, the fed uses it even
Basically lets one analyst control an entire swarm of aggregate personalities that make automated posts with posting styles, slang, vernacular etc. all sourced constantly from the target website and dynamically assembled to create an infinite combination of automated posts that are usually totally unique and hard to identify as fake posts. They can set the mood/tone behind the post, whether it's genuine or sarcastic, that sort of thing. It's used to great effect on social media, and mostly likely here as well
Bump bump
>>128989509
If /pol/ got our hands on such mass-sockpuppet software, imagine. Just imagine.
a bump
The anti-slide threads are always slided the hardest aren't they?
Up
>>128980201
this deserves a bamp
There's no CTR/Crew/Shareblue here.
Just anons larping for (you)s
/pol/ hears about these groups then starts trolling itself and the gullible take the bait fueling it further.
Kinda pathetic really.
>>128992920
look at this shill's low-energy. Sad!
>>128980201
Faggot, don't tell me how to use my fucking board. I'm here to shitpost and have political discussions with people about all topics and all points of view.
Just because you don't consider something to be worthy of discussion does not mean it's a slide thread. If OP posts something you don't agree with doesn't mean it's a slide thread. Even if OP is a 1 post by this ID faggot, doesn't mean the point made in original post is not worthy of discussion. There maybe paid "shills" here and i really couldn't care, if the shills bring a topic I deem worthy of discussion to the table I will engage it. We are not a hive mind, we don't all share your political opinions, and I refuse to change the way I use the board to fit ((((((your)))))) agenda.

mods delete these too sometimes, though there is no reason to. i, for one, would prefer if pence became POTUS and shocked all the faggots and trannies for the optimal amount of butthurt

this was a normal thing on /pol/ as long as it existed. there were the total of 3 such happenings in 2015, yet literal thousands of such threads.
>- over-the-top conspiracy posting (anons that spam pictures of random handsigns, vague connections with no info behind)
stupid bullshit like monarch project and aliens is consistently being posted, so this is also a somewhat normal thing for /pol/
>- defeatist posting (anons that claim that believing we can save the board is naive and that you should just give up and leave)
there is no saving. this board was always like this. if you don't like it, go to r/the_donald or 8pol or stormfront or something where such opinions get deleted.
