Circling of the wagons around neo shitposters with the very same patterns, all due to nerdy ass video gangs is some of the most annoying and corny shit to witness.

Goddamn, what kind of loser do you have to be to create alt accounts on a gaming forum for the purpose of console warring? I know it's just something you have to deal with given the popularity of GAF but it's incredibly lame seeing idiots waste their time like that. I mean, imagine finding more entertainment in stirring shit online than playing games. It's pathetic.

They probably don’t find entertainment, as much as they’re trying to manipulate a war that’s only inside their own heads. It’s sad.

Just commenting on how people circle around and defend these trolls sometimes, even when one points out the obvious because they happen to be in the “same camp”. Putting the platform allegiance over quality discussions.

You think these people actually play games?
Honestly I think there's a chance they might get paid to shill, if not I can't comprehend why somebody would bother.
This one guy seems to have in excess of 10 known alt accounts. I say "known" because I have no doubt they will still have more accounts and will most likely still be posting here. Ridiculous.

I have a question for youBill O'Rights do we know whether the latest pack of alts is from Meirl and his large circle of imaginary friends or are they new lunatics?
Our admin wrote some duplicate scripts that takes several extra fingerprints into account. There are the basics that catch entry level trolls, but this goes a lot deeper. While we don't know if meirl was one poster, or a gestalt entity using many names, let us just say that each of the accounts are flagged very early and they all have a distinct set of attributes that make them easy to flag. For example, the account Temp0 was flagged very early, so we give it a little time to breathe and ended up taking three of them out once the mound of evidence became overwhelming.
There are several more accounts that have not posted yet, a few more that have not posted contentiously yet and some we are monitoring as they are approaching the limit of warnings and actions we've applied. We still treat all accounts as though they are genuine until we have unequivocal audit trails and evidence that they are basically ignoring reasonable requests in lieu of trolling/being antagonistic. I guess they all chat somwhere else and think they're flying under the radar because they're being subtle. Which is not the case, they're already on the radar. So we prefer to let them waste their time for a bit, crafting posts that have to look genuine but have undertones of trolling, before they double down. At which point we're waiting.
Yup.

Thank you for answering and for that explanation. What is wrong with these people - are they all crazy, obsessed, have no life or what?
Dayum you guys are high tech. I guess you have to be when dealing with obseesed console war infiltrators. Unfortunately for them, they aren't as clever as they think they are. The Mods always get their man (or woman)

Thank you for sharing that as I was wondering how you managed to catch some alts so quickly. Shows how much work is being put into this place and I'm happy for it. I wish the other site I visit would do something similar because alts and spam accounts are a huge problem there.

It was a bit buried atm, but here you go:
Staff - NeoGAF 2.0 Error Reporting & Feedback Thread
So I don't know if this is a bug or something that can be fixed in settings, but it seems to be completely random whether a thread will send me to the first post or the last post in a thread when I click on it. Just found that a bit strange. It's also extremely annoying. Sounds like it’s...

Did they only post in politics or something? It’s not a name I recognize. I assumed it was a newer member.

Yes, it was a new account that kind of lurked around posting very minimally until their time limit expired then rushed straight into politics section. Worst troll I've seen there and the first person I ever put on ignore list. I'm sure some others have seen worse but he was the top for me anyway.
