How the left recruits trolls to make website comments

[EconChick]

well, why are you chirping, then?

I made the mistake of thinking you might have the brains to take some friendly advice. My bad.

I do not GAF what you "think"...
go pound sand.

What is it with fat drunks from Louisiana?

What is it with limp dicks who have nothing better to do then live on USMB? Other than being trolls.

Now see there, idiot? My post was relative to the topic. Yours was not. Yet being the limped dick hypocrite that you are, you slammed someone else for being off topic.

Everything about you is inconsistent, BS.

LMAO, can we memorialize this post??? It's so true.

Add Loner Loser and Foo and especially that ultra moron, Carb.

You squeal good when you've been owned.

You mean the way I pummeled your useless fucking liberal ass for the election?

You mean being owned like that limp dick?

You're one of the dumbest fuckers on this board. Everything you claimed up to the election got trounced, dumbass.

You're the consummate troll.

Next question.

Really? What did I claim? You claimed the stock market and the economy were going to collapse when QE ended.

It ended.

Sure I did. Your lies make Gruber look like a saint, you TROLL.

Do you wish to deny you said this?

"The market will still go up and down....and the wise arbitrators will make money. I'm talking about this is the part where the Fed Chair is about to land a plane on the runway with blown out tires."

Show me where I gave an exact date and time.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

No, they don't. No one "does it".

Has anyone on a message board ever changed your mind about anything?

Yes. I've changed my mind on several issues and moderated my opinion on others.

You were convinced to change your opinion on issues by the caliber of an argument you read here?

LOL, well, you do have a point there....but of course you know I have a bias as to which side of the argument...

That's the thing - everyone here has a "bias".

And it's not worth the time and money to try and fight that sort of bias.

I think people HERE tend to be more biased than on most boards but I believe there are people EVERYWHERE that are swayable.

On specific issues, sure. But in general? Not so much.

This is my main point: An argument could be made to have paid posters on twitter or facebook (and many campaigns do have that) - because those are both media that are read by huge audiences, made up mainly of people who have only a tangential attachment to politics.

This board, and other message boards, are much smaller audiences, made up of peoplep who already have strong opinions.

 

[EconChick]

Paid by the word, not by the post.

I get .05 cents per word....And since brevity is wit.................

You're one broke-ass mo' fo'?

LOL, I didn't make those statements.

Quote tags fixed. -Doc

 

[AVG-JOE]

My fave ploy of yours...when somebody is caught in a lie..like you, for instance, pretend that the person who proved you dumb is being *sarcastic*.

The flip side of that coin (which you also use)...when you say something supremely retarded, and are immediately proved imbecilic, pretend you were being *sarcastic".

I'm sure it worked once,when you were in fifth grade or so.

It's o.k.

If it helps you sleep at night, you can believe that some of us get paid to do the same thing you spend hours doing for free .

Have to run but I'll explain more when I get a chance. I kind of look at boards like this as part of a bigger picture.

How to recognize a Troll


On most social media sites you have a number of different types of trolls.


The Dumb Troll:
The most common troll is the troll that is absolutely totally ignorant of the facts. If I did not know better, I would say that can't even read, but they do post. He/she troll uses hate speech, quotes MSNBC talking points, has a limited vocabulary, poor writing skills, and generally when questioned about their comments, they cannot respond. These trolls will die a trolls death of always being ignorant of the truth. You can't save the stupid.


The Educated Troll:

Earlier today I wrote about the way the official Obamacare website has apparently recruited people to post thousands of comments each, creating the appearance of mass support, a variant on the traditional astroturfing strategy of creating bogus grassroots organizations.

Big Fur Hat of iOTW Report has spotted what looks very much like a Craigslist ad recruiting trolls to post positive or negative comments on left-wing or conservative websites, respectively. The text in full, as well as a screen capture (in case the ad is removed), follow:

Of course...everyone knows about this ploy...they obviously have operatives posting in here, too.

Look at hazl...and joe..rdean for example....they get their morning and afternoon emails from the DNC and rush in here to post 8 or 10 topics all within 5 or 10 minutes apart...now we know these people didn't read all that and post their deep thoughts and assessments..they get the email and post what they're told..

LMAO, can we memorialize this post??? It's so true.

It ended.

The right wing claimed the economy would tank the day Obama won the election the first time. What they didn't know was that the economy was in the tank already after bush left. Maybe they should educate themselves, turn off fox news and start reading media matters.

that a lie a troll would tell

 

[JakeStarkey]

The economy was in the tank in January 2009.

 

[mamooth]

I think the really funny thing here is how certain people actually believe they're important enough to warrant paid trolls. Narcissism seems to go along with extreme fringe conservatism.

So now the Democrats are learning how to propagandize from the Republicans, I am not proud!

 

[guno]

Do you get paid by the keystroke, or by the emoticon, doc? And do you and the other trolls get separate checks, or do you go ahead and have it all written to one person and divide it amongst yourselves?

 

[ricechickie]

The OP is written by a paid reactionary far righting bot.

Rotagilla is a threat to no one except himself.

The far right orchestration of hate on this Board to those who won't let them have their way is climbing to a crescendo.

Since they can't break the Board, they are now working for suicide by Mod.

Shut up idiot. At least the liberals admit to what they are. You're nothing but a fake liberal wanna be left troll claiming to be a Republican.

The tolerant, open minded conservative posts.

You taught us all well on how to be Intolerant, nasty name calling, etc.
give yourself a hand, bravo

Personal responsibility?

Oh I don't think anyone would pay YOU to write anything.

Yeah, fascists have always employed propaganda thusly.

Hey! Obama has the most Fake Facebook Friends and Twitter Follower than anyone in Herstory!

I know of one paid blogger on this site (and a hundred others of course) and I exposed him as such.
