When the debate is lost Adam starts flooding the topic with bullshit
"Technique #1 - 'DILUTE TOPICS'
Aim:
Stop individuals doing their own research & convert community into one of gossipers/Keep forum readers focused on unrelated and non-productive issues.
Method:
Trolling:
This wears out each forum member as they have to put more energy into finding the good quality posts amongst the crap
- essentially burning the valuable resource of time and energy.
Misdirection:
Make posts to direct user traffic away from good DD towards uninformed opinion.
The more uninformed a group is, the easier the group is to control.
Forum sliding:
Create low quality posts such as low effort memes and have them set aside.
Try and make these posts seem more credible - have them set aside, let them “age”, fill the post with conversations from fake accounts. … and when the time comes, upvote the hell out of it. This floods a forum with useless posts.
Solution:
- Ignore the trolls
- Present arguments for others to see …but don’t burn your energy arguing too long."
