I'm going to delete some posts from a user that has deleted their account.

In my opinion, they were off topic to the sub.

I left them up originally because I was happy to have some contribution and excitement over this sub. However, now that the user has deleted their account, I don't think they will mind me deleting their old posts.

And the plus side I think is the underworld can get back to what it was meant to be about: contemplating our fallen state and figuring out where to go from here.

[Potentially I think maybe they were put here to make Poal appear more "extreme." Though it's impossible to deduce an anonymous person's intent.](#spoiler) I left them up originally because I was happy to have some contribution and excitement over this sub.

You can't target what you can't see that's for sure

Capitalizing on a nick is a liability ultimately, it's better if the nick is changed everyday but then how do you keep track on who's who wwhen everybody does this

What's for sure is that malevolent and benevolent behaviors can be seen for what they are, with a context

It's not so easy.

Indicators of malevolent intent: number of posts/"flooding" behavior; campy, sort of overly obvious flavor of extremism (le Hitler, le day of the rope, right guys?); Over-friendliness, eagerness to get close to certain people (like hey man let me pay you to do my sub CSS); weird obsession with a certain coffee company; (plus whatever new information comes to light after the fact of this beatlejuice ban)

Indicators of benevolent intent: coming on the poalcast and discussing ideas, making seemingly good faith posts besides the cringy over the top extremist shit


If he's a shill, he's a good one.

I've observed that whenever you set a rule with shills, they then come back with a new approach that nearly violates this rule, but not quite. They aim to be right at the line of what is acceptable. Their goal appears to be to make sites like this into shitholes, so when moderating you need to think hard about exactly what kind of place you want the sub to be and follow your own rules. Even if your gut is telling you someone isn't 100% genuine, I think the better course of action is to err on the side of caution.

And damage done, in the end? Nothing strictly illegal was posted. Though the posts were excessive, they weren't enough to push legit content off the front page to where it would be hard for a discerning user to see or find. I assume most of the people who read my posts in get there from /all/new anyway.

Maybe the plus side of leaving them up is it lets other users gauge who this person is, though from what I've observed on this one people were overly trusting.

It's true, and you're talking about intent, and indicators

I'm talking about actual actions

Dishonesty is dishonesty, it shows, ultimately

...

Their goal if any, is to make this place look like a pile of shit or a liability

That is, assuming there's an agenda, and not a meth driven senseless rampage

The goal is to suppress the visibility of one side of the narrative at minima

All correct. I'm flattered was targeted.

Ever thought about the possibility that you may just be a pussy?

You should make a story about how I drew my six shooter to kill you, and you dodged all 6 bullets matrix like did.

I'm so bad, so daaaaaangerous. Trying to make you guys look like monsters, even though you love based MAGA niggers!

Tell some more stories, make some more paranoid shit up. I'm not feeling friendly right now, my CIA handler said it was okay. Tell everyone how scaaaarry I was, and that you're still mopping up the piss puddle!

You are fucking soft, pathetic, and weak. Have you even put up a chain link fence or put on horse shoes? Have you worked 14 hours in the 115 degree desert busting ass?

No, you're a soft hand little bitch. You'll never rise above criticizing superior men, and fear your betters with a flight or fight rabbit-like reaction.

look at the pussy-level here.

I've come to realize, these internet tough guys are inflicted with vaginosis.

Maybe next year you'll see me somewhere, but I can't come back to this whining about how I'm just so scarrryy .

And none of my content was "legit content."

Fuck these faggots

What a load of shit, make good posts to combat your perception of 'off topic' posts. Censorship is for kikes
