But if one of that group of idiots throws a fucking tantrum about it the thread is basically over. Not only will they do their very best to help the baitposter wreck the thread while being too stupid to realize they're being manipulated into doing it, they'll start bitching when scruffy shows up to mass wipe it away.
Picrelated is and always has been the only way to stop attention whores.
>>36210874Usually, yes. The thing is, you actually got to report it. Multiple posts, including the faggots who bite the bait so scruffy can clearly see there's an actual problem there.
Its a running theory of mine that anons would rather sit in a thread for hours raging at an obvious shitposter than take a couple seconds to report them and thats why so much of it stays up. Once or twice a month I'll stumble across a dumpster fire, start reporting it, and won't even get all the posts before one of them shows up and deletes the whole argument. And it actually makes sense of the extra attention EqG threads seem to get, if ayyposters as a group are actually bothering to report shitposting in their threads then that forces scruffy to see it right away.
This would be easier to figure out if Twimod still talked to us, but the days of moot chatting in random threads is long gone.
