Now that the mods have gone full retard and unbanned shill VPNS, let's discuss ways to locate and defeat /intl/ shilling.

What are their tactics? What are their weaknesses? What are their goals? How do we defeat them?

>Tactics

Shitting up threads, then crying for harsher moderation, then fomenting dissent when harsher moderation occurs.

Currently they are/were trying to force the board into a pro-Trump circlejerk by getting moderate/opposition opinions banned. Basically, hijacking current momentum.

Oftentimes they'll come in with bullshit complaints (mostly regarding Hotwheels and the moderators), but take up the complaints of legitimate users once they gather the proper intel.

>Weaknesses

Sometimes their shilling is obvious because their posts just don't look like a normal poster.

/pol/ is already used to dealing with shills.

Their rusing tends to include getting offended over any reference to reddit/tumblr (including filenames), but that could just be civilian autists.

?????

>Goals

They want to kill /pol/ because they view its moderation as too totalitarian, so they want to push it into a totalitarian hellhole to scare off users. Or something. Given that they're (probably) goons or worse, you can't trust what's said about them.

>Defeat them

Is it possible? Ban them, they come back on another VPN.

Best I can suggest is to ignore anyone getting butthurt over something pointless.

ddcfaf No.5447814

Well to be honest we don't use spam bots. There are multiple shill groups. We find spam bots to be distasteful.

Quality spam is done by hand, and for good reason. Our operations tend to be more like this, diving the userbase over moderation and the like.


8c27b9 No.5447853

>>5447814

Bullshit. Those bots were spamming /intl/ content, using a workaround that videos didn't have to be unique to be embeded (and counted as OP images). So either you're not /intl/, or there's more than one /intl/ group stirring shit up.

Either case is worrisome, seeing you're both using the same general MO.


ddcfaf No.5447875

>>5447853

>So either you're not /intl/, or there's more than one /intl/ group stirring shit up.

Something like this. It benefits other groups to be labelled as /intl/. What happened on /tg/, specifically, is that a user felt the board didn't have enough moderation. So he started botspamming in order to attain his goal, and he succeeded (while deflecting blame to /intl/). It was pretty smart imo.

>Either case is worrisome, seeing you're both using the same general MO.

Well I can understand how it seems that way from your perspective, however I'm not fond of the comparison.

You guys could just be entertaining idiots instead. The only reason you're hated is because you actively attack boards. Every other board but /b/ has a topic/subject, and you think nothing should ever have a subject, which is wrong, because anons visit a board for the subject, not to see it get spammed by a vocal minority of idiots who use technical tools and autism to shout everyone else down. Just stay on topic and you're fine. If you want to talk about a different topic, go to that board, or even chan.

If you want to deal with shills then defeat them in argument and if the argument eeps popping up, screen cap a well thought out rebuttal - other anons will spread it around and you will have stumped them

As it stands, trying to ban people for being shills does nothing but enforce the status quo and prevent discussion from occurring - hugboxes create weak memes that cannot compete outside of their own enclosures.

If you enforce bias then your memes will lose their dank

DnC is probably the most obvious one. People fall for it constantly though, it's pretty pathetic.

I'm not sure about the anime posters though, I've seen that shit derail threads so effectively it's depressing. Granted it's been a while since I've witnessed that phenomenon.

I'd say even the Anti-Trump threads are made by /int/ or similar cunts.

Same goes for threads that suddenly spring up inciting hate for Milo. Now these are some of the worst, since you've got plenty of hardcore stormfags with a nigger mentality. Think its safe to say that unless the thread topic is of some current event involving Milo, It's probably some more DnC shit. Unfortunately, the thread author might not always be someone from /int/ and might be instead mildly autistic /pol/ user.

The board owner and moderation team define it. If people like it, they stick around and post, which they do. If you don't like it, go make your own board instead of shitting up ours.

It's very easy.

There's a reason why 8chan /pol/ has 3200+ UIDs while you faggots are relegated to a wasteland.

We don't like you. We don't want to be around you, and you should go stay in your confinement area.

And here we have exhibit A, so eager to do his job that he didn't even read the whole post.

As I said, they hijack the current momentum. /pol/ already leaned Trump, so they took it upon themselves to beat down whatever dissent there might have been against him. They want to instill a culture in which it is impossible to question him, not out of any loyalty to the Trumpenfuhrer, but because they believe it will scare off those who did not agree with him politically. Indeed, this tactic works very well with the fact that there are actual shills working to push other candidates.

And of course Trump had to have had a few shills here as well. To ignore that possibility because "he's our guy" is vain delusion.

You complain about D&C and then use the very same meme the shills use against us. What's your deal?

Protip: Watch for anyone who says "Kike on a stick" or "christcuck" as 90% of the time they're shills. The 10% are cucks who fell for the shills.

Protip2: Using D&C as a safeword against criticism toward fedoras and Pagans is a poor excuse for an argument. I wonder why D&C is never applied toward criticism against Christianity or the subtle meme insults used everywhere on /pol/ nowadays?

Sure it's very likely he had at least one guy on here. Was it needed? Hell no. Makes

Really though there is no one else running who would appeal to /Pol/lacks as much as trump does. Now to an extent I can agree that it is a tad frustrating that people can't criticize him on here in any effective manner. But you have to remember, much of the time threads that open up trying to discuss a flaw in trump are just some DnC shill shit in disguise.

I want to believe /pol/ for the most part is just playing along with the "god emperor" meme and know in the back of their minds how flawed and potentially problematic Donald may turn out to be.

But for now, for what his rise in the polls and the possibility of him being elected represent, I'm alright with it.

I feel you man. It's a difficult distinction to make, who is shilling and who isn't. My point is more that, once we add /intl/ into the mix, we now have people purposefully calling shill on the innocents. And all too often, young /pol/acks (or shills) manage to miss the nuance of the situation.

As for the whole God Emperor thing, well, people want something to believe in. The memeing and worship is ironic, but the sentiment is genuine. He really has touched at a need few people realized they had. A need for a strong leader, for hope that the country could actually reverse the direction it's been headed in.

Are you serious? This is the best thing the mods have done, by far.

Why, might you ask? Simple! The amount of paranoia and namecalling on /pol/ was already quite high. Now with all the VPNs unbanned, literally everyone has turned into a shill. That paranoia has been turned up to 11, and all of the mentally unstable people who lurk here and can't take an opinion that is different than theirs without yelling "SHILL! JIDF!" will be going fucking insane

I guess as a followup note, I should add that /intl/ is much like the Jew as outlined in Mein Kampf. He plays dumb, he becomes belligerent, he does not care what you call him. He advocates for anything that could conceivably hurt the board, and can just as easily be found arguing the opposite in another thread. And if you do ever manage to outwit him, he will return another day with no memory of the incident.

Then it loses it original meaning. If you want to stop people who are being paid by external groups to force agenda, which is a shill is, using shill as an generic insult is the worse way to do that. If anything it helps genuine shills, since all they have to do if questioned about their motives is just accuse the dissenter as a shill and motive goes unchallenged.

/intl/ is a discordian cult. They don't care about lulz or even manipulation, they want to shit things up for the sake of shitting it up.

They are internet niggers.

Goal is two fold. It's partly ideologically motivated, but mostly motivated by the want for enjoyment via laughing at reactions. Ultimately they just want entertainment.

Tactics are very varied. Some examples are making threads that refer to /intl/ (creates panic, dissent, etc.), making threads in slight and strong opposition toward both popular and unpopular views (Pro-Cruz/Bernie threads to create dissent among minority Cruz/Bernie supporters, Negative Cruz/Bernie threads to promote and bolster Trump supporters to make Cruz/Bernie supporters as labeled shills, ideological transition/bashing threads to create distrust among the ideologically different such as National Socialist and libertarians), promote activist/ideological stickies to increase narrative perceptions among newer people and to solidify the popular base, shilling for both slightly and heavy draconian and anarchist moderation rules/regulations to promote distrust among moderation and user groups who align with a particular moderation type, taking credit for posts/threads that they both made and didn't made to bait bans and general distrust/incompetence/paranoia, inciting and promoting the hatred and sympathy for /intl/ to incite additional paranoia and increased moderation actions, utilizing obvious /intl/ styled text/memes/phrases to promote the idea of moderation compromise, incompetence among moderation, provoking of reactions, and more.

Generally, they'll use indirect tactics to promote a larger one. When moderation or users compensate to the tactic (such as behavioral and perceptive changes), they'll switch tactics to keep working toward the primary tactic. So let's say they promote support for a cause/view that is held by a minority some of which are not regulars but visitors/lurkers/tourists. They'll direct it against another cause (the greater conflict among both causes the better). They'll get people to start getting angry, annoyed, amused, suspicious, etc. toward the cause. At some point the cause will eventually become a shill cause (a cause where the large or most or adequate amount of supporters are denounced as most or all shills against popular opinion). Then they'll switch over to the other side and denounce the very same cause that that they supported. Overall this makes minority groups (both visiting and regulars) as even bigger outcasts among a relatively small niche place (in comparison to other certain places) and solidify the popular base.

/tg/ here.

Last fall, /intl/ hit us HARD. They eradicated the board as far as we were concerned. Our BO had fucked off months ago and we were getting the occasional spam thread for a while.. and then they decided to flood everything. They wiped the catalog clean. Any thread we tried to make was flooded with faggots starting arguments.

They spammed us with brownpill and other copypasta. This is something easily fixed with a quick "delete all posts by IP" action by the mods, and a simple ban. They are prone to using bots and scripts to do this, but it's easy enough to deal with.

They shat up every thread discussing the matter by arguing in circles. They use a strange form of debate where they don't really argue the point, or any point, they just make a lot of vague, slightly bait-ish statements in an effort to get replies. All they are doing is arguing for entertainment's sake. If you see this shit happen and you spot someone starting shit without a point, DO NOT ENGAGE. This is simple imageboard 101 stuff, but still, with /intl/ their goal is derailment of any and every thread.

There's also some run-of-the-mill shitposting in there. What stands out about it is that if they aren't banned immediately and their posts or threads are deleted, they will quickly start an argument about the mods infringing on free speech. Anyone defending shitposting as freespeech while attacking Hotwheels, and insisting the site is just like plebbit is almost guaranteed to be an /intl/ shitposter.

One of the more clever things they do is exploit anonymity to sow dissent and paranoia to enact divide and conquer tactics. On /tg/, while we were being bombarded, several people showed up to advertise new boards to use. Some were genuinely good natured, but others were more questionable, especially since they were shilled constantly and the BOs were too eager to try and seize power.

Anyone offering an alternative to /pol/ when things get bad, or insisting that someone else should take over /pol/ is not to be trusted. If they can split and scatter the userbase, make it inconvenient to operate as normal, and create friction between smaller groups of users, they have a far better chance of destroying a board and it's community permanently. I hate to use this example, but look at GamerGate. They went through several boards and now even /v/ has dedicated shitposters against GG.

/intl/'s biggest goals seem to be the destruction of any pillars of imageboard communities. Legacy boards and top 25 boards are their favorite targets because they attract the most users and promote the most activity across the site.

However, their tactics are largely based on the goal of convincing you that they are worth more of your time than it takes for the BO or Mods to ban and delete them.

That wasn't /intl/, but a supporter of heavier moderation. When goons spam it is always done by hand, and for a specific reason (good or bad).

62fc6e No.5449880

>>5449778

Even without a script, it's fairly easy to mass post copypasta threads, but it's nothing that can't be shut down by enabling captcha for thread creation.

At any rate, spam was one of their tools as far as /tg/ was concerned, but only because /tg/'s BO went missing for months on end.

Whose tools? I can confirm that some goons engaged in shitposting, but there was no widespread effort to destroy your board. Certainly not by spamming it for months on end.

/intl/ uses the same tactics as Something Awful because that is exactly where they come from

>overtly stand in opposition to their enemy

>use any means necessary to get back at them no matter how low of a blow it is

>pretend that nothing is happening and anyone saying otherwise is a tinfoil-hat wearing paranoiac

>once exposed they downplay everything they do and pretend it is a joke

>if they believe they are being watched then this is what they do by default (as seen by their activity on /intl/ and freech)

>attempt to infiltrate the community and use this spy to cause damage to the opposing community if they cannot hijack the moderation (Josh was confirmed to be a goon as well)

>rinse and repeat

It's actually interesting to see this image evolve.

It's Josh plastered on the body of Pinetar, a user who was banned from Josh's hugbox site.

Also the impact of freech is slightly overstated. It IS an impact, certainly, but nowhere near where some here suggest.
