If someone tasked you with censoring Poal, how would you do it?

By taking down the infrastructure. Poal has to many failsafes for fuckery on a small scale. Visible DVs, vote manipulation gets algo'd, suspicious accounts clearly marked, and a core user base with an IQ above room temp. Shills got a hard time on poal

By getting rid of the person who tasked me with it, then do nothing.

sounds like a government employee killing their way up the ladder and doing less work at the same time.

Tell an Indian call center we have bobs and vagne.

Not taken down per se, just scorched earthed into uselessness.

I'd ask the users to list the ways to censor poal so they'd give me a bunch of ideas on how to accomplish it. Kind of like fishing emails trick people into clicking the link and placing in the page they arrive at their email password.

I would say Poal ran out of money, find an angel investor, let the website fall apart naturally when I stop maintaining it, then shut it down on Christmas eve with no explanation.

Weaponize the ability to say anything.

Spread the most retarded conspiracy theories out there, to keep the website obscure, and deterr reasonable people from participating or taking anything serious.

Best are braindead conspiracy theories people do not wish to actively debunk, ie. they say nothing out of fear to be called a shill.

Haha, nice try.

But no, in all seriousness I would see how long I could get paid lurking and doing nothing else. Then I'd just walk with the money.

One way would be to flood Poal with really stupid, retarded posts that don't actually contain any meaning, but are just a kind of noise. This would discourage real people from reading or posting here. This is going on every day, by the way, in case anyone hasn't noticed.
