I feel like I'm "over deporting" people and posts and about to get myself whacked. I've noticed some trends though. Here's who's history I check and the red flags I watch for if I see a stupid comment:
People have weird right-wing buzzwords in their name to seem super serious, but they don't really fit. "1776SuperPatriotMAGA" bla bla.
They have a bunch of anodyne comments like, "Yeah, that was totally right. Barr is going to totally lower the boom on those guys!" Then in one of their posts there will be a link to a video like, "It's all explained here: http..." and that goes to some racist video with four views.
The user is a one-note samba. For example, they're finding topics about the London attack and hitting every one to throw in something derogatory about Muslims.
Anyway, I'd be an unpopular mod and over-thin the herd, but I don't appreciate people painting us the way they see us on our own forum.
They're getting stealthy too, and upvoting each other. Quite a bit of inflated karma circle-jerks. I saw one against inter-racial dating that had to be a setup.
Yes...also there are several shills targeting posts in new and saying some pretty awful stuff. :(
just downvote and deport them
I'm trying.

You're absolutely right. Great observations!
Cheers pede.

Yes...how many alt accounts has each troll already set up? Wish we could do something about this.
Rate limited on new accounts. Alls I'm sayin
