obyknven Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In last times our forum has been flooded by "Russians". They all have common features - they works from newly created accounts, they all pretend be a Russians, but spread anti-Russian propaganda, they work in packs ( and help each other - they outnumbered opponents in discussions and dominate on forum by this), they avoid discussions with real Russians and just ignore them, etc etc. Diagnosis is unpromising. The Obsidian forum become a target for propagandists attack by some group of paid trolls (looks like work of Ukrainian cyberhundred, but they can be easily be members of any other similar pro-Western group). http://cyberhundred.com/ Best solution is ban of all such users and constant censorship of newly added accounts, but Obsidian moderators looks a too unexperienced (too idealistic) for proper response to such attacks. This forum is doomed, we can be flooded by sh**-treads very soon. P.S I feel some sort of pride from this though - my innocent games (for fun) on this forum cause so strong response from System. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name exactly who you think are paid trolls claiming to be Russian yet are spreading anti-Russian propaganda? Because all I'm seeing is Russian members who are giving a more reasonable perspective about the motives of Putin and also some Russian members who care about SJ issues...so I don't get how you can say this forum is doomed?

Chilloutman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 ...also some Russian members who care about SJ issues... Yep, we are doomed I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

This. Sorry Bruce, but for you reasonable Russian is some person who blame own country, own people and prefer be subslave of a West. But for real Russians such behavior looks so strange. We are not some minor nation, who be used to good submissive servants. We are proud Empire citizens, conquerors, we shall rule instead of obey to anyone. Your "reasonable Russians" looks by same way to me as Ancient Romans who dreamed to be a slave in Parthia. Just unbelievable characters they are.

BruceVC Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What russians? I haven't seen anyone else identify as a russian here. Not even in the myriad of newbie spam posts that never even reach your eyes. I know of two people who say they are Russian, Sakai and Redcat, and participate in OT discussion And neither of them appear to be in anyway "anti-Russian ". That's why I asked Oby to actually name the members he is accusing of this behavior "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Guard Dog Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well. I'm Russian. I'm not so sure that Oby is. And your Non-Troll credentials are above reproach.

PrimeJunta Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The Obsidian boards are the cornerstone of the new imperialist psywar strategy. It's because of Alpha Protocol. Srsly though it'd be cool to see more Russians here. Even better if they're not vatniky. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress.

Shouldn't that have been a copy-pasted picture of Obama riding a turtle or something? Maybe the translation software is just working properly... But I do agree the nature of the accuracy of Oby's English does seem strangely inconsistent...which then adds to the point that Oby can in fact speak English a lot better than he claims. Which then would reveal he is not being honest about his true identity...will this mystery ever be solved I ask you dear forum members ?
