This is the Anti-Shill General Thread, where we raise shill awareness and discuss anti-shill tactics. If you are unaware of shill tactics and their purpose, this is the place to learn.
The shilling on this board is at epidemic levels, 1/2 of all threads on pol are threads created by shills, alphabet niggers amd zogbots whether it is for forum sliding, data-mining, consensus cracking, etc. Think how many threads get posted here on a daily basis, the most popular site on 4chan, one of the last places on the internet with free speech, 1/2 of all of them are shill threads. Some shilling is to be expected however as things stand shills are met with little to no resistance and the quality of board is suffering as a result. We must fight back and we are free to do so. They don't spam these threads for our benefit, so who do they benefit?
Key things to look out for in a shill thread: >1 post by this ID >small low effort write up >baiting of common pol talking points >controversial and/or lust provoking image
Shill threads are spammed to distract and distrupt meaningful discourse, to bury valuable information, to gather info on us to be used against us later and they are entirely dependant on anons to bump their threads, without that they are useless. We've all done it but will you continue? Do you want to simp for shills?
Think before you post and consider the following:
Is this a slide thread? Is the OP invested in their own thread? Does this thread contain relevant info? Can it lead to a meaningful discussion? Can it lead to any kind of political action? Does this add to board culture? Will I learn anything?
We do not aim to ban or moderate posts, we do not have that power or want it; we do not aim to control the topics suitable for discussion, what we do propose is zero tolerance for blatant shillery.
Are retro games better because their simplicity, or they are actually worse because there were less experiences of how to make good games hence more shitty ones were made?
