Hi all,
it occurs to me that many of these alternative sites have some
paid posters "Shills". I was wondering if there might be a way to recognize
them and out them. Maybe some people skilled at network analysis or
something could investigate some likely suspects.
Here are some links on the subject.
Paid Shills In Forums (online Reputation Management) - PCWorld Forums
"I Was a Paid Internet Shill" - Vanguard News Network Forum
How Does a Paid Forum Poster Spend a Workday? | eHow.com
There are threads about how to recognize them.
How to identify Professional debunkers, Straw men, and shills, concerning 9/11 - US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
There is even an Ehow on how to get a job as a shill.

I'm not indicating in any way who I think would employ them, there could be
many "employers" with different agenda's.
If anyone has any deep insight as to how to out any possible paid shills, please say so.
I think it is safe to say they infect every popular forum on the net.

I think it is better to close this discussion.
thank you for your contribution.
P.S. I'm glad I raised the awareness on this subject

Well, it's been a great chat gang. I'm off for now but remember dear friends, we can only find peace by expressing it, toward ourselves and toward all others.
All of those who hold different viewpoints should be respected and even those who attack and attack, simply need Love. Some are being paid to attack and push certain rhetorics and they too simply need Love.
Much Love all,
Wes :)
If the infighting/personal attacks from every side could stop [and if either side could stop leading the other into such fights] than there wouldn't be 'sides'!
We all wish for unity Kelly and even if you feel that others on AC are not the best examples of unity, you can still choose to stand up for unity by becoming it yourself! Would you like to see us all as one? Than you must start the process!
Each of us has to individually make the effort to leave the name calling and the infighting at the door. Paid disinformation posters incite the exact types of conflict that the perceived 'sides' are now feeding! I do agree with Drekx that they do so with provocative posts, because that's clearly been shown on this site a hundred times over!
But overall, if we want to anchor peace and unity we have to BECOME it. If you don't feel that Drekx or Kelly or anybody else are becoming peace and unity, than it is that much more important for you to take up the role of helping to lead us toward peace by becoming an example of it with your posts here on AC.
You have such a great opportunity, Kelly, to set an example for all who enjoy your posts. Everybody here who isn't paid to be here want to see Peace and Harmony but we simply can't find it if we are still lowering ourselves into personal attacks and arguments!
The choice is yours, dear friend. :)
Much Love,
Wes :)
Then why the need for bad words? They put feelings in our hearts, such words. And the overall negativity of the post seems quite strong and personally directed at Drekx. We can be honest in nicer ways!!
Wes,
Where are you when Aly, Drexxx are posting negative, angry words and pictures?
Why are you attacking Kelly?
Well, too late! :)
Perhaps you do need it just a bit? You do seem quite worked up, dear friend!
Imagine and feel it... the calm energies washing over you, having no care in the world, no wish to fight or argue... simply calm bliss. It is easy to attain! :)
Much Love,
Wes :)
Reality does feel so wonderful, Drekx!! Great advice imo. :)
Much Love,
Wes :)
Whatever the outer turmoil we suffer, there exists that inner state of bliss...your true self, Kelly-ann....why not connect with who you really are and identify less with the false persona you assume is real...??
Well, Kelly, perhaps you have chosen your path then.
That is honored! :)
Much Love,
Wes :)
Well, I will admit that Tooth Fairy has annoyd me recently, but when he slanders good people like Aly and Kelly Lightchalice, I do tend to stand for justice and a more swift justice than is usually dealt....He is provocative...have you not noticed, or do you choose to turn a blind eye to his attacks, Kelly-ann...??
So it's the provocations that we are addressing...It is not my attempts to glean followers, or whatever you are insinuating...
