Anonymous
A "loose coalition of Internet denizens", Anonymous consists largely of users from multiple internet
sites such as 4chan, 711chan, 420chan, Something Awful, Fark, Encyclopedia Dramatica,
Slashdot, IRC channels, and YouTube. Other social networking sites are also utilized to mobilize
physical protests. Anonymous has no leader and is reliant on the collective power of individuals
acting in such a way that benefits the movement. Actions attributed to Anonymous include:
• Habbo raids - Unwanted and prohibited behaviors in the Habbo
online community
• Internet vigilantism reports – Self-identified Anonymous members
tracked down and helped authorities capture an online sexual
predator
• Epilepsy Foundation forum invasion – Hackers changed the
coding of the website to random flashing patterns in an apparent
attempt to induce headaches and seizure. Anonymous denies
responsibility for this and has claimed that the Church of
Scientology actually staged the attack as Anonymous in an effort
to discredit the movement.
• Project Chanology – an ongoing electronic and physical protest
campaign against the Church of Scientology

I have wondered if just being on ATS is a "red flag" to those watching for trouble-makers. It seems logical to me that there would be "monitors" on the web just like there are intelligence and under-cover agents mixing with the general populace.
I notice the first screen shot in your post is nearly 2 years old - is this something that fizzled out or is it still active?
Not an Intelligence System
This site is not an intelligence system where active criminal intelligence information is stored or exchanged. Rather, it is a resource center designed to assist a user in developing, managing, and operating a law enforcement criminal intelligence function.
This Web site is funded through a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Neither the U.S. Department of Justice nor any of its components operate, control, are responsible for, or necessarily endorse this Web site (including, without limitation, its content, technical infrastructure, and policies and any services or tools provided).
Supported by BJA to further its mission, the NCIRC maintains two Web sites. The public site provides criminal justice professionals with easy access to a multitude of resources that are primarily concerned with local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement intelligence operations and practices. The secured Web site provides additional training materials and information resources expressly for law enforcement professionals
