Exactly, there is no way anyone is going to be able conjure an NPC into having an original thought.

For a website you hate so much, you sure spend a lot of time here.

posting privileges here are throttled down based on downvotes? If only.




Plus the most downvoted post ever was for no pics, and second most downvoted was for saying Callin Baton Rouge should be banned.

if they detect even a smidgen of non-leftist thinking, they downvote you so fast your account is throttled (have to wait 9 minutes in between posts).


They don't broadcast this fact but if you get -50 karma on that sub you get automatically shadowbanned. It effectively kills your account there because they do it by karma on that specific sub, so there's no way to get it back up because all your posts are hidden.

Get a tag team post rotation going to keep logical thoughts flowing through...as they downvote an individual poster into oblivion, the next steps in and keeps the freethinking going.

They like collectivism over there so it should fit in well?

I posted on reddit complaining about my job. I said I kill myself everyday. A bot responded with suicide prevention info. LOL.

I just recently started checking out Reddit in like the last month or so. From the very first day where it has the popular topics listed I clicked on a few political ones and realized right away that place was batshit crazy

You can't. It was bought by shareblue and is a leftist controlled place. Any counter-thoughts are not allowed.

Has anyone ever gone to T_D sub and try to get downvoted into oblivion and see if it throttles your post times?

If you want some laughs go to the political board at Tidefans. It is a virtual echo-chamber of liberal kooks.

On....Tidefans? Would have never guessed that in a million years. Always reckoned that the site admin/owner was a Baptist from Winston County.
