Yep, I've watched my comment points swing wildly after refreshing. I've been suspicious about this. Some mods are shills, and the forum is infected with shill users. They upvote each other, and the mods control the nature and visibility of submissions and comments.
I have an honest question for you. You seem like a reasonable person from your comment history, so I feel I can be honest with you. Why is it largely only people who post solely in v/pizzagate that agree with this mentality?
Do you not realize that the guy you replied to here literally had an entire bot army (50+ at the time of it's deletion) dedicated to manipulating votes, and is in fact the very kind of shill you despise?
Or read any system announcements regarding removal of votes from deleted users and posts?
Or know that votes are now being cached, along with other things, in order to keep the system from going down every day at peak hours?
Or have ever been a moderator of a subverse, and have figured out that the only control of posts that you have is deleting them?
I'll give you your point about some moderators and users possibly trying to control the discussion here. But, keep in mind that the majority of the people here in v/pizzagate came over from reddit. As in they waited -this- long, through all of the other bullshit that reddit has done, before finally giving up and moving. They aren't exactly the brightest people, both the moderators and the people posting / voting here.
You've made good points, and I agree with man of them. I did realize I was replying to a bot. Because I have been suspicious about submission and comment manipulation and since submission on this topic would be deleted, I made a comment about it, and thought that replying to a bot would give my comment more visibility.
The system of cached votes explains a lot. I didn't consider this because sometimes when I give an up or down vote, it registers immediately, but other times not. For example, sometimes if I down vote a comment or submission that has zero down votes and refresh the page, there will still be zero, other times it will register. Therefore I suspected censorship or favoring either of certain comments or me.
My main irritation is with the immense shilling here, which you agree is occurring, and the possible involvement by some mods, which you likewise think possible.
Thanks for your reply. I think many v/pizzagate posters tend to question or call out almost everything and everyone that seem suspicious. On here and other platforms, we've dealt with so many shills, misinformation, psyops, larpers, and censorship leads us to easily be suspicious. I think we do have to be careful because perhaps the cabal wants to destroy our trust in each other so that we look to the government as our false rock and comfort, as they continue their corrupt reign over us.
