Shills like to hide in the shadows. If we shine light on them, they can't do their work effectively.
We've been bombarded by them - even /v/protectvoat feels sorry for us.
I've compiled a list of people who seem like shills. Feel free to @ people in the comments and I will check them out.
If your name is on here it's because you look like you've engaged in activity that could include but is not limited to: COINTEL shit, forum sliding, trying to incite people to get mad/violent/go do dumb things, posting empty incoherent and/or poorly sourced posts, demotivating sub members, asking for personal info, spamming etc.
Feel free to petition to have your name removed, I will review your post history and CCP and can potentially remove it if you don't look like a shill.
ps. you're loved and you don't have to do this. There is a fulfilling life for you out there.

"Shills like to hide in the shadows."
The premise of this post is weak. It is only equivocally true; shills need to hide the fact that they are shills, but they also need to draw attention to themselves in order to derail the discussion. Compiling a blacklist on your own pretended authority without any explanation as to why the names on it belong there is what the bad guys do. It's either incompetence or malice. But when in doubt, the safer assumption is the worse.
The post itself employs several shill tactics. Let it be known, I'm only commenting because the author of the post is the moderator of the subverse; ordinarily, the appropriate thing to do with shills is to ignore them.
Let the reader peruse the Gentleperson's Guide to Forum Spies and judge for himself what this is: http://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm
