Mass Social Engineering in Forums

[Renegade]

I just saw an interesting article/paste on mass and individual social engineering techniques (COINTELPRO actually, but 6 of 1):

COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum.

There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a ‘uncontrolled forum.’

Do check the Pastebin link as well:

I took a copy of the pastebin for safekeeping.

This is not desirable as it then leaves the enforcement agencies unable to track the percentage of those in the population who always resist attempts for control against them .

So standing up for yourself is bad.. Lovely (and rather subtle) pitch for weakness is strength there ain't it Ren?

And the best part is they are entirely just a figment of your imagination.

Though I could see this being useful in helping to stabilize some forums I am on, since it has info that would be relevant to stirring up activity on forums that are fading into oblivion.

Yes. Exactly. It's entirely about spreading disinformation. A "how to" if you will.
