I don't know if this is the proper forum. Seemed like the most logical one to me. Feel free to move wherever.
It has sometimes seemed like, on many conspiracy threads and many threads about the O . . .
that
the purported paid Obama cyber warriors are out in force to trash the OP and posters supporting the OP.
Certainly, we ought to give folks the benefit of the doubt . . . however, some posters are sooooo virulent, intense, off the wall, nasty,
mean-spirited etc. that there's little other explanation for their role than that they are dyed-in-the-wool TRUE BELIVERS --and probably paid to be
so, to boot--TRUE BELIEVERS in the worst Eric Hoffer sense.
Couldn't we have a way to give individuals the benefit of the doubt yet
REGISTER HOW THEIR POSTS ARE COMING ACROSS to the ATS readership?
Something like the stars . . . only with a tabulated running summation . . . folks could vote whether an individual's posts were coming across as
INTENSELY agent-like--say 2 points; significantly agent-like--1 point.
Or contrarily for those on the other side--2 points for INTENSELY UN-agent-like and 1 for significantly un-agent-like.
And the software would total the collected points say every 15 min or hour or whatever . . . and readers as well as the guilty or innocent could check
to see how their posts were coming across to however many readers.
If it was too cumbersome to do so on every thread . . . perhaps to make it kick-in when a thread in the relative forums reached 5 pages or whatever.
Alternately, perhaps a poll reflecting such issues could be available for all such threads.
e.g.
1. What percentage of naysayers on this thread strike you as agents of the globalist conspiracy?
or
1. What percentage of naysayers on this thread strike you as O's cyber-warrior agents?
and
2. How well do you think the average naysayer is making his/her case on this thread?
and
3. How well do you think those in support of the OP are making their case on this thread?

FEEDBACK can have a powerful effect on behavior.
It seems to me it could add a lot toward DENYING IGNORANCE.
However, I'm just tossing the idea out.
I'm sure there are many ways to skin such cats. Perhaps others have better ideas.
