For your convenience I have converted the old pastebin text file into a wiki page with anchors for easy linking and references.

Fairly certain smokeratez is either a basement dweller or a professional troll.

I am neither. I have my own apartment and I have to work for a living. Typical leftie behavior of calling everyone they don't agree with a troll.

Is this a good example of concern trolling? "hai guys, only been a voater for 7 days, but let me tell you what sites you should and shouldn't be using."

The thing is...

Almost all the 'methods' outlined in the GGTFS are things that regular people do in conversation/debate everyday. The difference is the 'why' are they doing it. And is it all they do all day?

I don't think any one instance of someone doing one of these things is enough to point a finger and say 'forum spy!'.

But if they have a pattern of doing several of these things consistently without wavering then you're getting closer to finger pointing time.

He acted way too comfortable, which made me think he's an alt. He's also a porn spammer, which makes me suspicious of people as well. I haven't accused him of anything yet. I am merely keeping my eye on him.

Nice work and welcome back to Voat!

As soon as a wiki is available on voat I'll be happy to recreate it here.

This is outstanding.

No wiki here yet but... you could create a new subverse, make a post for each subtopic, then create a stickied Meta Post that links to each post with the subtopics.
