Time to burn some karma again.

Google "gent forum spies" sans quotes, look for cryptome(dot)org. Should be an article from july, 2012ish.

Give it a read. It's a bit of an eye opener for the uninitiated.

Wow, this is fascinating.

Some of the topics:

> Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum..

> Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation

I knew this was done, but this is essentially the guide book. Jeez.

I'm curious though - why didn't you directly link to it?

Because the last few threads I did I'd be near instantly downvote bombed and flagged.

Particularly in Hong Kong related threads.

Spread it far and wide. Never let anyone stop the Signal.

Upvoted, just in case...

Anyway, that article comes #1 on DDG by searching that string both with or without quotes.
