Consensus cracking technique is a technique that trolls use all the time, especially those who defend GMOs... The op of that above link found something really useful

The text in the image is cut and pasted from The Gentleperson's Guide to Forum Spies link that's been in this sub's sidebar for a long time. It's also posted any number of other places on the internet, but I'd have imagined people would have read that particular link because it's in the sidebar here.
This isn't anything new.
And the image is probably fake.

I've been coming here for seven years and never read it. I guess i have sidebar blindness.

Since this is a meta post about an original post, I'm going to plug this relevant sub for anyone who might be interested:

Censorship
Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Google are all actively rigging the access to "controversial" issues in relation to the 9-11 Attack, US Intelligence Community, Military Industrial Complex, US Warfare, Financial Sector, Mega Corporations, Key Figureheads and Politics.
1 Example: Some of the articles and research written and published just few years ago, after Mr. Snowden made his startling revelations about the US Intelligence Community blatantly illegally spying on all US citizens and the methods they use, has either gone completely missing or has been buried under mountains of government/corporate friendly data and lies. The search algorithms, offered to costumers by certain private companies, has been modified to "disappear" the "controversial" data.
2 Example: If you search the internet for 9-11 related material, you are much more likely to find scientifically inaccurate material, deliberate misleading material or material planted by the US Intelligence Community, than you are finding useful material for further study. This is especially true if you are unfamiliar with the subject at hand, you simply will end up with a "The Arabs did it in corporation with Evil Alien Reptilians" style material, which of cause will scare away any sane person. Sometimes you can observe how the Reddit moderator team blatantly censor new 9-11 articles by rigging the votes, only to allow a wave of misleading articles and posts to flood the r/conspiracy forum.
3 Example: If you post anything on Reddit about the crushing economic inequality, corporate crimes, financial crimes, financial rigging (LIBOR, FOREX, gold, silver, interest rates) your comments section will be crushed by waves of paid government Shills & Pundits (or smart computer algorithms). If your post made it to the front page, they will immediately remove it and sometimes ban your account. Most "controversial" posts will die a silent death due to rigging of the voting mechanics (their favorite method).
The Reddit admins censoring the access to this particular article, banning any further access, while serving their evil overlords, is just another brick in the great wall of lies and disinformation. The enemies of Democracy and Freedom are winning...

We actually have the Gentleman's Guide to Forum Spies linked in the sidebar; if there are other means that folks can think of with regards to highlighting those tactics, by all means feel free to let the mods know.

Of course! The only people who support GMOs are trolls! Why didn't I think of that??!!

That's a rash conclusion to draw. GMO supporters can be just as genuine as anti GMO advocates. What I do find odd, however, is how certain reddit accounts seem to spend all day defending one given topic such as GMOs or vaccines or _______ (controversial topic). Why spend all day on defense for something you gain nothing from? Seems suspicious.
