Chatbots. All of them. Check the other thread referenced in the OP and look at the common usernames. https://voat.co/v/news/2191150
Most of the time, the bots just post their insane rubbish, rarely does whoever controls these bots actually use them to post coherent responses to people and by that I mean replying to comments with a sentence that makes sense. BUT, when they do, they do it to try and play off that they aren't bots or that the only way people (like myself) can track them is because I have a magical list of IP's associated with them or somesuch nonsense. It's pretty easy to spot these bots, no need for tech wizardry, version 1.0 eyeball is all that's needed.
The list of bots associated with this user:
https://voat.co/user/Jem777 and https://voat.co/u/mej777 < Appears to be real accounts, but there's always one of the other bots welcoming him back whenever he posts in a thread. And many of them seem to ping him whenever a certain buzzword is said ( not sure about that list ).
Same naming schemes for most of them. Most of them have been shitposting in v/pizzagate, v/politics, v/news, more and more non-sensical garbage like this. Many of them also occasionally post a random comment alerting some random list of users. My guess is they are clearly trying to forum slide here now, with this Hollywood shit going on. Anyway, downvote any nonsensical posts or comments like that on sight if you want the spam ended.
I'm going to continue adding to this list as necessary.
Update August 1st 2018 - They're spamming Hollywood Pedo shit now. as well as submissions to /v/music
Update Sept 2018 - Several new accounts seem to be spamming 9/11 related horse shit.
Just like like last time, many of the bots on the list will reply short comments in the posts made by other bots making it pretty simple to spot if a post is made by these punks. Just parse a username with the list. They seem to be using all the same 10-12 month old accounts as they did back in 2017 during the Vegas shooting.
The pedophiles and suspects are very scared because their whole system is about to come crashing down. They are shilling and hiring paid shills.
Here are some of their techniques:
Ad-homonym attacks with words such as "tinfoil", "tinfoil-hat", "conspiracy theorists", "conspiracy-nuts", "Paranoid schizophrenic"
Turning it into a political war "left vs right", "trump supporter", "bernie supporter"
Saying the evidence is not legit but can't refute it
Telling you to leave it up to the FBI or police and stop investigating
Forum sliding/Vote brigading - Making sure a post does not hit first page ( Make sure to check new/controversial from time to time )
Saying this panic happened before and blaming it on "Christian nuts"
Fake evidence and Fake rabbit holes
Asking to make the investigation private
Here is what we need to do to crush these shills:
If you spot a shill, call them out. Screen shot and archive before you do. A few shills have already deleted their posts once called out. >Make sure it is for sure a shill and don't dismiss something you have not looked into.
Make the shills feel guilty. Let them know they are supporting pedophilia, murder, and child trafficking
Social engineer them and get their IP address. Send them a nice payload if you have the skills.
Strong, credible allegations of high-level criminal activity can bring down a government. When the government lacks an effective, fact-based defense, other techniques must be employed. The success of these techniques depends heavily upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token opposition party. The following are thirteen proven techniques of truth suppression, first formulated by David Martin when we were attempting to crack the Vince Foster case, 22 years ago. Nothing much has changed since then, apparently.
Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen.
Wax indignant. This is also known as the "how dare you?" gambit.
Characterize the charges as "rumors" or, better yet, "wild rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be through "rumors."
Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Even better, create your own straw men. Make up wild rumors and give them lead play when you appear to debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.
Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist," "nut," "ranter," "kook," "crackpot," and of course, "rumor monger." You must then carefully avoid fair and open debate with any of the people you have thus maligned.
Impugn motives. Attempt to marginalize the critics by suggesting strongly that they are not really interested in the truth but are simply pursuing a partisan political agenda or are out to make money.
Invoke authority. Here the controlled press and the sham opposition can be very useful.
Dismiss the charges as "old news."
Come half-clean. This is also known as "confession and avoidance" or "taking the limited hang-out route." This way, you create the impression of candor and honesty while you admit only to relatively harmless, less-than-criminal "mistakes." This stratagem often requires the embrace of a fall-back position quite different from the one originally taken.
Characterize the crimes as impossibly complex and the truth as ultimately unknowable.
Reason backward, using the deductive method with a vengeance. With thoroughly rigorous deduction, troublesome evidence is irrelevant. For example: We have a completely free press. If they know of evidence that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) had prior knowledge of the Oklahoma City bombing they would have reported it. They haven't reported it, ergo there was no prior knowledge by the BATF. Another variation on this theme involves the likelihood of a conspiracy leaker and a press that would report it.
Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely.
Change the subject. This technique includes creating and/or reporting a distraction.

They also seem to congregate around several subs owned by /u/TheHolyGrail.
