Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum

Ever wondered why your hot section is recently full of off-topic posts and posts that are all but not about taking any action? This is not coincidence or organic, it is an example of forum sliding and topic dilution.

There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a 'uncontrolled forum.'

These techniques are:

'FORUM SLIDING' - Burying posts by using bots/fake accounts to popularise other posts.

'CONSENSUS CRACKING' - Pretending to be β€œon our side” but presenting an argument or point that is very flawed and which can be picked apart.

'TOPIC DILUTION' - Distracting people with content that isn’t productive or facilitating productive discussion.

'INFORMATION COLLECTION' - Learning about the sub and the statistical makeup of the people therein by posting β€œinnocent” questions and noting the replies.

'ANGER TROLLING' - Provoking those who are quick to anger and squirrelling that knowledge away to make a case against the sub for bad behaviour or similar.

'GAINING FULL CONTROL' - Becoming moderators and slowly killing the sub or changing what it is.

Source and longer explanations

I kept this post short to get right to the point. If you think this is actual useful information and want to get it to hot to let people know about what is happening, good luck.

Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum

I think it makes sense to leave this one here for you anti-workers, as this forum is getting traction for a while now and I see some signs some of the following misinformation strategies being applied:

Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum..

There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a 'uncontrolled forum.'

Technique #1 - 'FORUM SLIDING'

If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by 'forum sliding.' In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to 'age.' Each of these misdirectional forum postings can then be called upon at will to trigger a 'forum slide.' The second requirement is that several fake accounts exist, which can be called upon, to ensure that this technique is not exposed to the public. To trigger a 'forum slide' and 'flush' the critical post out of public view it is simply a matter of logging into each account both real and fake and then 'replying' to prepositined postings with a simple 1 or 2 line comment. This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list, and the critical posting 'slides' down the front page, and quickly out of public view. Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and unuseful postings. By this means it becomes effective to keep the readers of the forum reading unrelated and non-issue items.

Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING'

A second highly effective technique (which you can see in operation all the time at www.abovetopsecret.com) is 'consensus cracking.' To develop a consensus crack, the following technique is used. Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting. It is IMPERATIVE that both sides are initially presented, so the uninformed reader cannot determine which side is the truth. As postings and replies are made the stronger 'evidence' or disinformation in your

In that post, there was a HUGE image on:

Helium dilution cryostat?

Sorry this is a little bit off topic, but this actually seems like the perfect place to ask.

I was wondering if anyone here lives near the SF bay area, and might want to help me build a 3He/4He cryostat to make superconducting stuff, eventually a crappy quantum computer?

Are there any meetups for this sort of thing? Not professional stuff, I'm talking about making liquid helium with the cheapest SCUBA compressor on eBay, machining cold side parts on a homemade mini lathe; that sort of thing.

Or is anyone into biotech? I have some CRISPR projects too, like flipping some bits in CYP450 2D6.

Or does anybody just want to hang out? Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

[Technique] Spraying mushrooms with diluted coffee instead of only water

Has anyone tried this? There is a lot of information about using coffee grounds either as a medium or mixed with another substrate but I could not find anything on spraying it directly with diluted coffee.

Lots of plants like when you spray a mix of coffee and water since it has extra Nitrogen (N), Magnesium (Mg) and Potassium (K) and I was wondering if mushrooms might enjoy a similar spray?

I found this on the macronutrients needed by mushrooms:

>"C and N are the two main macronutrients required by fungi for structural and energy requirements; P, K and Mg are also considered macronutrients for mushrooms (Chang and Miles 2004)"

So to me it seems like adding extra of those nutrients could be beneficial for our growths without that much extra effort. I will try this myself and report back with the results but I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Good technique to dilute essential oils directly into lotion in the palm of your hand?

I already tried, and what I did was add 1 drop of patchouli oil for every 3 - 3 1/2 pumps of fragrance free oil. Those 3 pumps are enough to cover both of my arms. According to my family, though, the smell is too strong. Is there some sort of ratio I should follow to avoid too strong a scent? Is patchouli oil in general too strong smelling?

Filtering and dilution techniques

I have been reading up on how to make a finished perfume product and wanted to check if my steps are correct.

This is my current procedure for achieving an 80% dilution (or 20% perfume concentration)

Equipment needed:

  1. Beaker
  2. Weighing machine
  3. Perfumers alcohol
  4. Glass stirrer
  5. Amber glass bottle
  6. Funnel and filter
  7. Disposable pipettes
  8. Perfume bottle and cap

Steps:

  1. Mix oils to get perfume concentrate
  2. Pour perfume concentrate into beaker and weigh. Assume weight that shows is 20g.
  3. Reset weight to zero. Pour in perfumers alcohol into beaker until weighing machine shows 80g.
  4. Stir the mixture in the beaker with glass stirrer
  5. Pour the mixture through the filter and collect contents in another beaker
  6. Pour the filtered contents into the amber glass bottle
  7. Place amber glass bottle in a fridge to let it macerate for 2 weeks
  8. After two weeks, take amber glass bottle out of fridge
  9. Use pipette to extract contents of amber glass bottle and empty it into perfume bottle
  10. Cap your perfume bottle and you are all set

Did I miss anything? Or are there more efficient ways of doing this especially for large orders?

Thanks!

Full Quote:

> Speaking of teams that are motivated to make a move or two, we present the Atlanta Hawks. This is nothing like the we’ll-talk-about-anything approach of a team like the Kings, nor should it be. Atlanta’s unexpected run to the Eastern Conference finals last season validated the choice of general manager Travis Schlenk to build around Trae Young and John Collins (both of whom signed long-term deals in August).

> But there’s a fine line between roster depth and roster dilution, and sources say the Hawks β€” well aware that their rotations are a bit crowded when fully healthy β€” are on the lookout for a one-for-two type of deal for an impact player. Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari (just $5 million of his $21.4 million guaranteed on his deal for next season) and third-year small forward Cam Reddish, it seems, are the most likely candidates to be headed out. The urgency is likely on the rise, as this Hawks team that was fifth in the East last season before its playoff run has now fallen to 12th (16-20; 27th in defensive rating).

How does your lab keep an accurate inventory of your antibodies? (validation, dilution rates, and special techniques)

I recently joined a lab that relies heavily on antibodies (like, a lot)-- we share our antibodies across multiple labs in the department that work on the same proteins/targets of interest. Unfortunately, our antibodies are a mess. One issue we're having is that there is no "antibody bible" to refer to; one person will have no problem using an antibody for their experiment, then the next person who uses the same vial and same dilutions can't get it to work. There are some antibodies of course that just don't work unless everything is fresh (especially acetylation/phosphorylation/other modification assays) but there is no straightforward place where people can access this information. It's very frustrating because some antibodies have been rigorously validated by some folks for use in western blots but not IF, or vice versa, and there is no central document to refer to about whether they have been validated for one technique or another.

How does your lab handle this? Do you use software to keep track of things like this? How do you make everyone actually participate in keeping it up-to-date? Before I arrived, my lab attempted to do this all in an excel sheet but it has become an incomplete and outdated mess that no one refers to anymore. The excel sheet is so large that it almost kills the older computers. There's gotta be another way to do this. HALP

SIFU SAYS 1/5/2021: $Time listed on a Major CEX soon, why's the price dropping, stopping dilution, and more BONUS: Dani chimes in on $time

Welcome frens and frogs to another edition of Sifu Says.

Sifu is the anonymous co-founder of Wonderland. He manages our almost $1 billion treasury and runs the day-to-day operations.

Every day he answers questions on the official Wonderland Discord.Not everyone has the time to keep up with the discord.

I go dig through the chaos and share the best of the Q&A’s from the past few days.I want you to stay on top of the news and have the latest alpha on Wonderland.

Quick Note: I’ve hired someone to help me format and organize these posts. Hopefully, they’ll be easier to read and understand.

This was meant to be a once-a-week post, but it’s my 4th one this week. That’s how much action is happening at Wonderland!

Questions and Answers

/ PRICE ACTION

Q: Guys why the price went down, any news?

A: Their expected staking rewards are forfeit to the remaining holders in the pool.

Q: what's your take on current conditions? πŸ™‚

A: Overall market dip, noise all around. I'm not seeing anything to be concerned about.

Q: when mister u/Sifu (🎩,🎩) sells $TIME, what does this mean??? https://snowtrace.io/tx/0x462471d2dc655e5b2458e578d77eec08f2aff8d0152f9f8b32ed009f7798c44dA: Means nothing when I sell 0.3% of my stack. If you see founders/devs dumping most, that would be cause for worry.

Q: Are the devs selling?

A: We still have all of our token allocation and most of what we bought on market. The team is not dumping.

Q: Then why whales are dumping?

A: Causing retail to panic so they can have a cheaper entry before we announce all of these Investments.

Q: u/Sifu (🎩,🎩) quick q, is the absolute bottom for backing price per time the value of stables in the treasury divided by total number of tokens?

A: This would be the case if Bitcoin, ethereum, and everything else that we hold goes to $0. Realistically, all of our treasury assets are very liquid and are extremely unlikely to severely dip.

Q: Honest question: is the lowest the price can go $1 or backing price ?

A: We buy back if it ever reaches backing price. It can go lower if panic users irresponsibly dump below that number before we have a chance to execute buybacks.

/ REBASE MECHANICS

The Shill Playbook - Part 1 - Techniques for dilution, misdirection, and control of an internet forum

Hello fellow Apes,

As WallStreetSilver gains momentum and popularity amongst the general public - we will see a definite increase in Shilling. Silver becoming common money again is an enormous threat to "the powers that be," because their entire fiat debt-based ponzi scheme is built upon an empire of lies. They wish to keep us uninformed and like total sheep. We can certainly expect them to pull out all the tools at their disposal to derail us from our objective.

Most of us have seen shill techniques used all across Reddit to at best dilute the subject, and at worst, facilitate hostile takeovers. If you're ever dumbfounded at how nearly all of Reddit's content became garbage (especially in any sub that has political undertones) - you're about to find out.

I believe WallStreetSilver has the power to change the world for the better - a more honest and equitable world, where people keep and save what they earn. While I think the honest money movement is much greater than WallStreetSilver (truth is self-evident, after-all) - I don't think we should take chances by being ignorant. As we progress from obscure to acceptance, we must be educated in the ways of the enemy, so that we can effectively combat their disinformation.

Combating disinformation is everyone's responsibility - so I encourage everyone to learn the signs of a disinformation agent, so that you can effectively combat them. I've found that trying to argue with a shill is usually pointless - it's an exercise in futility because they are paid to not acknowledge truth. Thus, our strongest weapons are not only the upvote/downvote buttons, but the report button - use them. The moderators can't effectively remove disinformation if they aren't called to attention.

The information I'm about to share with you was not created by me, it was posted in an anonymous forum and is supposedly a guide for the shills to use against people like us. The information appears to be extremely accurate and very eye opening.

Definition - Shill - one who acts as a decoy

Definition - Disinformation - false or misleading information that is spread deliberately to deceive.
