>they can claim it's just one guy ip hopping and building a fake consensus… that's what they kept telling other anons and told BO/BV…
Shill tactics in a nutshell - falsely accuse other people of being shills/sockpuppetry. You'll notice they tried the same bullshit on me in meta and TTDDTOT, and then started randomly accusing other posters, at which point they realised they had gotten outmanouvered and went silent.
Didn't work on me, most notably been handling shills for years on other forums. They walked straight into the namefag trap (why would I namefag if I was multi-anon posting?), plus it helps to have a forum with 4+ years worth of history.
Now the stale shill tactics are exposed - accusing other people of being 'multiposter shills' - it'll be much easier to refute their garbage rhetoric, which seems to rely heavily on tricking BO/BVs into dishing out bans (which is not something freedom of speech loving chans would ever call for).
The sad part is, these people have to lie and falsely accuse people day in, and day out, one wonders what it does to their psychological well being.
At least we all, in contrast, provide a real service to humanity. I could never live down a paycheck based on lying.
