The way to determine keywords is by correlating the posting of them and the time it takes for comments to be downvoted. It was suspicious to me how quickly some comments would be downvoted, so I started tracking it - not only my own comments but all comments. It became clear to me over a year ago that the entire site was really a false projection of a democratic speech forum.
The public really does not understand how far it has come since the HBGary astroturfing was first exposed. Posting some data on this would really drive them nuts, and prove how much fuckery is going on. You know you want to. Doooo it!
I noticed the thing about /new too. That is the only place you can find the good stuff before it gets wiped out. Every once in a while there is a goldmine there, but it only lasts a few minutes now, and anymore its only if the keywords are misspelled.
