How the left recruits trolls to make website comments

[koshergrl]

Doc says you're imagining things, and he was just joking anyway.

 

[koshergrl]

And AvgJoe says "yeah what he said!"

 

[AVG-JOE]

Yeah, what she said!

 

[AVG-JOE]

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 .

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

That doesn't really surprise me, Miss koshergrl. Not even one little bit.

 

[AVG-JOE]

You will note that I predicted AvgJoe's prompt arrival.

It melts my cold, liberal heart to know that you're thinking of me

You rock!

 

[JoeB131]

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?

Doc does a very difficult job of monitoring this madhouse. and, yes, he's cited me a couple times when I went over the line.

Frankly, everyone gets their fair say h ere, so I don't see what your problem is.

 

[JoeB131]

Okay, I know that both sides really think the other side PAYS people to post on message boards.

But think about the logic of this. Just takign USMB as an example, it has about 40,000 members, give or take, and maybe about 200 or so of us who post on a regular basis. I don't think anyone who posts here has his mind changed on too many issues.

So exactly what would Soros or the Koch Brothers be getting for their money by paying us to post here.

INcidently, if the Koch Brothers are paying, I'm totally willing to change sides. Just saying.

Well well, Franco, Greenbeard, Wrongwhiner. ring a bell?

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:

Write About Green Issues, Animals, Human Rights, Progressive Politics (per content and completion bonus)

contract job internship part-time
telecommuting okay

I am not a troll

Trolls are pesky amateurs. I am a paid messageboard poster. I have been highly trained and am well compensated for my posts. Currently, I get $5 a post and $1000 for every poster I turn in to the Internet Police

You rock!

I only think of you when the discussion is about mod trolling.\

Other than that, you're inconsequential. I'd have you on ignore with Bode and the rest of the retards if I could.

There's nothing in that craigslist ad that suggests that people are being hired to comment on blogs.

fuck off asshole

No.

Now do you have an actual response, or are you just going to throw another tantrum like you do with every post of mine you respond to?

Let me guess, your response is going to be "Fuck you" again.

no..this time it's going to be fuck off chickenshit cocksucker. Go pound sand bitch.
How's that, you faggot cum guzzler.?

You sound upset. You don't sound smart, you just sound upset.

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.

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? LOL

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.

More squealing please....you've got a purdy mouth.

 

[bodecea]

There's nothing in that craigslist ad that suggests that people are being hired to comment on blogs.

We had someone here who had 90,000 posts in less then a year...
Or maybe a bit longer then a year...

I would not be shocked if we had a few here today that are being paid.

Why would anyone be paid to post here? What purpose would that serve?

The mindset that anyone who disagrees with you must be being paid to do it is nothing more than a symptom of the delusion that opinions on this message board matter.

They don't.

No legitimate political organization would waste their money on paying people to post here.

You're not serious, are you Doc?

It's the digital world. The internet is the propagandist's paradise. Groups of all political persuasions do it.

And EconChick's posts are mega important.

 

[AVG-JOE]

One thing fo' certain...

If more than one or two of you are indeed getting paid to compose your thoughts all over these hallowed walls, you should be professionally embarrassed by your punctuation, spelling and grammar.

For some, it's fucking atrocious.

[koshergrl]

Why are you agreeing with yourself?

Incidentally, ricie is supposedly a teacher. Try that on for size.

 

[edthecynic]

There's nothing in that craigslist ad that suggests that people are being hired to comment on blogs.

Not only that, there is nothing that says to post positive on Lib sites and neg on Con sites!!!

I found this at their website:

Success War Criminal Removed from List of Honored Veterans - ForceChange

Target: Congressman Darrell Issa

Goal: Praise the removal of a war criminal from a congressman’s list of honored war veterans

 

[AVG-JOE]

Why are you agreeing with yourself?

Because I can.
