It would be fun to take the HN database and do an automated search for the use of such techniques.

I wonder if there is a database or list of known forum accounts who have practiced these techniques? Would be useful for modelling.

A detector for such techniques would make a wonderful standard tool for all forums everywhere.

Run all media through it. Assign a "bullshit rating" to stuff.
