The last sliding episode lasted for fourteen hours. Throughout the night we've had problems keeping genuine threads bumped, and this dilemma worsens with each attack on the board.
THIS IS THE OFFICIAL ANTI-SLIDE CAMPAIGN THREAD
This thread's purpose is to bring awareness about the problem to Hiro and the mods. I'm not sure if they're aware about the Slidening or not.
I've posted a thread on /qa/ (boards.Sup Forums.org/qa/thread/561454/) explaining the situation. If nothing will be done, we may have to abandon the board when important information is being discussed.
WHAT TO DO WHEN WE'RE BEING SLID: 1) Identify which threads would warrant a sliding. 2) Keep bumping the important threads to keep them from becoming pruned. 3) Find a different medium to discuss the content that's being slid if it's bad enough. Share the medium with all of Sup Forums. 4) For the love of Christ, don't be fucking retarded and get baited into replying to slide threads. I would like to think that Sup Forums has some intelligence.
Good point. Copy the ID, paste in ctrl+f, and if it only has one post, it's a slider.

Which threads are the ones being slided out?

Are we finally going to raid /lgbt/? I've been wondering when our board of peace will finally commit hostile takeover

Miscegenation Shilling ---------------------- These posters often create bait threads in which they create a single op with the sole topic being about some form of miscegenation. These could be shock images of Black men with White women, or other types of threads where it is a picture of a non-white Woman with the OP asking if that woman is hot.
Trump General Shilling ----------------------- Generally, the main Trump general shills are those who try to D&C the common posters in the thread. They tend to attack NAZI posters for being 1488ers, and AWOO/Anime posters for being r9k weebs. These types of posts serve no real purpose. Sometimes they are purely defeatists.
General Leftist Baitposting/Sliding --------------------------- These are low-effort non-miscegenation posts that generally involve some image macro and a very low-effort comment. Examples include "Really makes you think..","pol BTFO","pol will defend this", "conservashits (With Occupy Democrats Image)". Sometimes these threads have no purpose but to slide more useful threads.
Dedicated Shilling --------------------------- These are posters who constantly everyday on the clock post about a specific topic that goes contrary to most of pol. In the album linked you will see a very dedicated Canadian leafposter that for 3-4 months would argue how Obama did such a great job creating 14 million jobs. Any actual good arguments against Obama's capability as a president he would ignore, however, he would destroy posters who were not good at debating. The best way to defeat these guys is simply to ridicule them with memes, because you will never convince them they are wrong. They are very likely paid shills.
The Art of Shilling --------------------- You can find a very good guide here i.sli.mg/MRmGUs.png You can find further examples of shilling in the parent album. sli.mg/a/O7c478
>fourteen hours. its been going on longer, since the shooter was revealed to be muslim
Matthew Ramirez
nice
Nathan Turner
why do people believe the shooting was a hoax?
Jose Moore
OP is right.
We have been getting a huge influx of shill and slide threads. They are usually worded:
"Why are millenials X" "What did they mean by this" "How can X compete!" "Daily reminder that X"
Usually they are accompanied by big tits or a beautiful women.
SAGE AND HIDE THESE THREADS.

Absolutely fascinating, especially when it's so subtle.
In one of the the Trump threads you listed as evidence, I could recognize one of the featured shills, by his writing style, as someone who forcefully dominated the discussion in my own threads on refugees taking European jobs for lower pay. The one or two times Trump came up, he dismissed him as a globalist.

I'm mentally retarded. What does sliding mean? Is it when mod hides a thread or something?
Grayson Miller
>not reading the thread
Poor form, leaf.
Colton Perez
I did read it.
Connor Garcia
Most shills here aren't subtle since quality well-paid shills aren't wasted on mindless shitposting on Sup Forums.
Christian Campbell
Sliding is the deliberate act of baiting anons into replying to their slide threads for the sole purpose of getting important threads prematurely pruned.
Jacob Gutierrez
OHHHHH I've seen a shit ton of those.
Parker Lewis
Yeah, it's really bad now

Kevin Lewis
Oh, yeah. Where do they go?
Elijah Allen
There are usually 2-3 shills bumping a non-thread trying to b8 with pretend retard debates. Sage, hide and report.

It's hard to sage when there's new slide threads being created and bumped :(

We have multiple people posting the same "what is the alt-right?" bait threads, using the same images as replies in the thread, but on different IPs.

Trips of truth. These attacks are daily now and it's unbearable.

I've seen four different ones.

Mine just says highlight posts by this ID. Is there a setting in Sup Forums x that would change that?

I was able to bump before. Maybe it was an IP change.

Respond to these two threads on /qa/
This shit needs to be brought to the administrator's attention and they need to know that we would be fine with expanding the rules a little so the mods can effectively deal with these types of shitposts. I recommended deleting threads and banning OPs who start threads with no constructive input of their own. Don't insult the mods if you post on /qa/, it's not going to help.
Telling people to simply not respond to these threads isn't enough because there are way too many people on this board, some idiots just won't get the message.
Wyatt Williams

That conflicts with the free speech, which is why many people come here instead of Reddit or Kikebook

Previous threads detailing the situation:
Bump threads like the ones above to garnish attention, and hopefully something will be done about it.
Sliding episodes on Sup Forums's catalog is nothing new. This is a problem that's happened on numerous occasions, most notably the recent Russia IP Range ban/unban and the Orlando massacre threads, which have attracted VERY unwanted attention. Use Sup Forums's archive (archive.4plebs.org/pol/) and learn how to identify bait threads designed to ruin our board!
>highlight and copy Unique ID >ctrl+f ; paste Unique ID in the search bar. >If there's only one or two posts by that ID in the entire thread, chances are they're a shillbot. >proceed to report, sage, and hide the thread. >look for buzzwords, "hmm really makes you think", "how can X compete", "Sup Forums BTFO", etc.

Don't forget that they're fishing for unique identifiable information to profile Sup Forums and come up with new strategies.

yeah sort the cataloge by date created and check what threads are allowed to live
there you will see the subversion taking place

It is happening all over Sup Forums not just Sup Forums. Sup Forums has seen a serious drop in quality and so has Sup Forums. The reason is E3, the fact that Sup Forums is the last place on the internet for free speech and right thinking politics and the fact that it is an easy target for shilling as we still don't have to have a account to post.
William Adams
Know who is responsible. Know your enemy
Noah Martin
Hide or sage, anons. Hide or sage.
Ryan Hill
Does saging actually work on Sup Forums? I thought it didn't...
Bentley Gonzalez
literally EVERY post on page 1 for me was less than 20 responses, "1 post by this ID" WAT DO nonsense shit.
Information Collection ---------------------------- Shills need to understand their target user base if they are to distract them. Frequently you may come across threads where posters discuss their spot on a political compass or disclose their own personality test. Red flag if OP has only one post. Shills intend to use this information to deduce how to attract the most posters to their bait threads along with figuring what specific fracture points can be used to divide and conquer the userbase.
There was another thread where a guy with a @cock email address was telling people to email him. Sounds like a trap.
Noah Cooper
My thread is getting slid hard. Even got a few shills in it >boards.Sup Forums.org/pol/thread/77310833/disarm-white-men#bottom boards.Sup Forums.org/pol/thread/77310833/disarm-white-men#bottom >boards.Sup Forums.org/pol/thread/77310833/disarm-white-men#bottom
Benjamin Clark
I agree, those political map threads are highly highly suspicious.
Jace Wood
Hovering over an ID for me does not say how many posts they made just says highlight.
I think it's necessary we start documenting all the shilling because Sup Forums reminds of the movie Dark City where posters keep responding to the bait while the people behind slightly modify it to see the change in responses.

Just slide the slide threads. I call it "counter-slide". Also, when you see a typical twitter screenshot bait thread just call it a bait thread and sage.
