A word about the ongoing Democratic presidential primaries

[Decoy of Fenris]

516. Not proud of that. Not walking it back though, either. Let's use it as an example, though.

Since you brought it up, let's take it for what it's worth and run with it:

Imagine I want that to stay up, prominently. Every 24-48 hours, I post the same thing, with those words in the Post OP thread. Some of them get hidden, some stay up. Either way, eventually, they all fall off the front page.

Then, a month later, or two months, or whatever I want, I kick them -all- back to the top. Now, GD-P, or whatever forum really, now has that message repeated fifty to a hundred times; page upon page of nothing but abuse, hidden or not.

I could soak 10, 20, even 30 hides, and unless I got banned in the process (Unlikely to trigger automated hide-detection software if I'm careful), now GD-P sees one message and one message alone, repeated for page after page after page, as many as I wished.


Now, that's an extreme example, but an example nonetheless. Imagine a "burner" account created solely to malign one person or one candidate, or even several at once; three GD-P pages of nothing but (This is just an example, Jury) "Fuck Geek Tragedy." Or "Hillary is a ****", or "Bernie's a ****".

And that's only in relation to trollery in OPs in a single forum. I know you're a thinker, so use your imagination; what person, or people, could be suppressed through blatant and relatively unpoliced, unstoppable (by Jury) abuse? When only the Admins are able to step in to police rampant abusers, we may as well have only mods and no jury system at all.
