You can get the same treatment here (Rule 10).

How about, instead of screaming shill, point out the inauthentic tactic the poster is using and ask them to expand upon their thoughts?

Reddit is getting so boring with:

User 1: Low effort shill post.

User 2: Shill!!!!

Nothing useful there, at all.

Better with:

User 1: Low effort shill post.

User 2: That's low effort and ad-hominem/missing the point/etc. Why do you think that/can you expound on that?

User 1: Downvote/silence/actual response that starts an interesting conversation.

If the user isn't a shill, you might actually have good conversation. If they are a shill, it's pretty obvious to all watchers.

just call them out and say "shill". it's fine.

Yep, ask them to prove their point. The conversation ends their and the lolz, nazi, and racist comments come storming out.

I offered a person from this forum Reddit Gold to back up false claims. Ended with "Too easy!" and that was yesterday. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a long time before I get a legitimate response.

I have visions of someone furiously key smashing in google trying to verify their false claims only to hear them say "No, no, it can't be true! I know I'm right!!1; I'll just not respond and hope he forgets my handle".

I guess I would've if I was in any convinced that they were actually interested in conversation and not just being paid to support their candidate,

In that same case, pointing out their low-value contribution and lame tactic and asking them to provide something more substantive is so much better a way to point out shills than yelling "Shill!!!"

In case #1, the onus is on them to provide a valuable contribution. It becomes obvious to drive-by readers that the user is not authentic.

In case #2, you look like a shill and have doubled-down on low-value posts (and believe it or not, calling people who disagree with you a shill to discredit their opinion is actually a shill tactic. Have had multiple GMO shills call me a shill...).

When you yell shill, you might as well just put on a tin foil hat. You're not doing anyone favors, only hurting your own credibility

And so you argue points, not accuse them of shills. Point is, you'll never know who the shill is, and it's worthless to point it out and damages you. Are you seriously not getting that point?

I'm honestly inclined to believe you are the shill, because what you are doing is truly hurting the cause of exposing conspiracies and turning people away from our points when we do make them.

Here's what happens when you accuse someone of being a shill who isn't (which will happen since you never know). They argue their point looking for a challenge to their opinion. You call them a shill for saying their points and they just think "wow, no wonder they believe what they believe, they dismiss all counter evidence as coming from a shill" and they confirm their beliefs that we are all tin foil hat wearing wackos.

Number 1 rule in that sub is "be civil" looking at your posting history on there I can see why you got a 1 day ban.

From "what are you smoking dude", through the shill comments to "offensive and you're an asshole. Did I miss anything" might be the kind of thing to avoid in future.

there's nothing wrong with verbally spanking people who haven't done their "me-work".

Yeah that sub has changed tremendously in the past few days. Lots of correcting of the record going on. Amazing that it is confirmed that her campaign is sending shills to the sub so the solution is to ban calling it out.

The entire sub is ran by them. /r/technology was ruined by shills that infiltrated and took over the sub. The same bullshit we are with almost every default in existence.

No offense to anyone but is it me or /r/politics is full of sheeple who know jack shit about anything?

I just got banned from /r/politics. All I did was point out who any article/post that is anti-Hillary gets down voted immediately by shills. Didn't realize you could get banned for that. Since when did Reddit become the kings of censorship?

Its agai st "the rules" dont ya know. Apparently calling a spade a spade derails the forum. Reddit shares americas truth allergy.

I also got banned by talking badly of Hillary and mentioning WikiLeaks

Well firstly, you can get banned on here for just calling out shills here (although there don't tend to be many shills here because it's /r/conspiracy).

Secondly, I'm sick of seeing Bernie Panders all over /r/politics so it's good to see that he is a fraud Marxist.

although there don't tend to be many shills here because it's /r/conspiracy

You can keep a straight face while trying to claim that nonsense. Why do you think TopMinds and isrconspiracyracist exist?

When he first won election to the House in 1990, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) embraced his political identity. "I am a socialist and everyone knows that," Sanders said, responding to an ad that tried to link him to the regime of Fidel Castro.

He’s not a socialist.

That’s right. He’s a marxist.

Sorry, Bernout. Them’s the breaks.
