What I find perverted is this usage of 'user' when they apply to themselves. The users are those using the site to gain information, not the bozos that are on ANI and the other drama boards.
For the insiders, the term "users" refers to fellow MMORPG players. It is similar to the way that drug addicts are called "users."

Funny thing is that sockpuppetry really does destroy forums, as in nobody wants to have a conversation with two accounts/one guy.
A lot of times around here I get the impression just like on Wikipedia I'll start a good conversation, then some dimwit charges in with a cavalcade of socks and makes it all about their pet issue.
Other examples around here include HK with his LaRouche stuff and the Overstock.com crew.
Moderators don't think it's a big deal if it's someone they like. Basically no integrity whatsoever. It's all just a power struggle, now Selina tipped the balance a little bit and they're screaming bloody murder.
I thought I should come out and say this again, as I previously said to Hersch in private, and earlier in this thread, one of the things really bothered me for the integrity of WR was finding out that Hersch posted from
the Party office of the larouche organisation, Hersch has not denied this and we've always ignored his POV on that because the amount of time he is able to spend on moderation outweighed the negatives — But then I thought, well, if he's being paid for actually helping use WR as a propaganda tool.... that makes me feel a bit sick, as if any political organisation had a semi-official foothold in WR when its meant to be a neutral watchdog really
I think bringing the issue of his mass-sockpuppeting on Wikipedia is what really turned him against me, but I felt I had to ask if he was sockpuppeting here, he has vehemently denied it, but of course we have no way to know when its someone who's demonstrated expertise in it.
It just made me feel like WR had been "invaded" really. I never really looked into Larouche much before, but I have been reading up since finding out that Hersch was a heavy sockpuppeteer and the things I read troubled me a lot, it seems rather
cultish in a way that reminds me of Scientology It just made me feel dirty that we are basically hosting subsections dedicated to "
fair gaming" of "
Suppressive Persons" who stand up against exactly the same attempts at whitewashing campaigns that Scientology has attempted on Wikipedia.
QUOTE
this is coming a few days after mentioning
his "Grand Theft Socking" on Wikipedia and asking if he had any here too, and whom I commented, to just a couple of hours earlier, that he has occasionally posted from the offices of the Larouche Party, which he didn't comment on but seems like it really annoyed him being found out.
QUOTE
Needed to be said in public so people know what they are dealing with... I never really looked hard into who they were really before either, I thought just another crazy american political group, and that if people like Will Beback who went around bullying everyone hated them they can't be all that bad but they are pretty damn creepy.
I didn't know for 6 years that Hersch actually worked for the larouche Party and had never told us til I did some digging. He didn't deny it, but it's the fact that he never told any of us, and worked himself into a position of trust here to further his agenda in the same way he manipulates people on Wikipedia - that is what sickens me.This: It's kind of a shame, because in the light of reading more about the Larouche party's neo-nazi version of scientiology-like loveliness, it seems like it was all just another case of the occasional bad people fighting other bad people and evening things out, and now I am figuring this is going to be like open season for
the Party's sockpuppets now who have also apparently been using WR as a platform for years without telling us.
I hope they let other rabid admins loose on organisations that employ POV-pushers armed with the P words really, because that's about all that works against those kind of people - and at least puts the crazies and manipulators somewhere useful, fighting each other instead of hurting everyone else.
I just feel like it hurts others' rights too when
hydras are used to drown out free speech - I accept it, and I'm not going on any kind of war, this is the end of it - as I said, the nature of the internet is vulnerable in a way that trying to fight it is literally pointless -
corporations and PR companies know this, and we are going to see more and more
taking advantage of this, as well as
governments, in the future, but that is my prediction — and I'm not happy about making it, that is the way things are going, and will go unless some organisation like the EFF or something comes up with a bright idea on how to stop that "industry" growing and growing ... But I am not sure if there
is anything that can be done to stop it. Sites like Wikipedia Review, Anonymous, Wikileaks, any watchdog will not be able to fight the highest bidder in a few years as the technology improves, I am sure of it
It may not be too bad now as it is mostly amateurs and "enthusiasts" (and
illegal if caught in both the US and UK) for now though, and you're right that as long as there is enough scrutiny on what all of us say, and we keep a grain of salt rather than "good faith", we're probably ok, but yeah, it's for that same reason I was pretty uncomfortable with keeping it to myself too, I really had to get my concerns off my chest there.

Radek:
I know who you are getting at there, and my point it is relevant, and it did needed to be said in this conversation, as Will Beback was the main one tracking
Herschelkrustofsky/the Party's scientology-like efforts on Wikipedia, it's very much on topic.
Even when I first brought it up with the other mods a couple of weeks ago, before I even started checking for sockpuppets,
Herschelkrustofsky/the Party blamed the tracking of his sockpuppets all on Will Beback personally as if he was some kind of victim whilst openly engaging in attempted manipulation - they seem both obsessed with watching each other as much equally. Hersch/the Party's main tactic seems very similar to Scientology in that they attempt to
defame anyone criticising or
attacking them, in the public eye in whatever way possible.
For years I was tricked us into thinking the larouche party was some kind of repressed underdog because known otherwise-corrupt admins like Will Beback in other ways fought them amongst their other POV battles - and I hope that serves as a lesson really to other administrators on Wikipedia that when you act in scummy ways to other people like Will Beback, and that nearly all that people hear about you is bad, then everyone is less inclined to believe anything you say even on the few occasions when you're actually doing something right. I feel like an idiot for not reading up more on the Party at the time now...
I am sickened that I actually defended the Party's representative on this stuff after having read the links I gave above, and I deliberately didn't do my research from Wikipedia - the only link there other than WP that is actually on WP also is the lyndonlarouchewatch.org one - those sites seem pretty reliable with 2 of those sites are actually jew sites themselves the ADL I've even heard of in the UK so yeah — but of course I know they are all part of the "British Jew Empire World War 3 conspiracy" against the Party, of course.
He may have not openly used staff powers corruptly on that account, but certainly steered the forum the way he wanted it to be - I doubt we'd have a forum for someone like Chip Berlet if he wasn't an enemy of the Party because most people either don't care about larouche or when reading it, like every mainstream source that writes about it, finds it a thoroughly unpleasant racist conspiracy theorist cult/Scientology-like organisation...
And yeah, that's enough, but I thought I should explain why I was posting it here in public as it needs to be a matter of historical record that I said this, and when someone operating this site is actively
working for a political party it should have been openly said years ago. I knew he was a POV pusher yeah, but that's very different because there's plenty of amateur POV pushers and they're relatively harmless, so like many people couldn't give a crap about larouche until I read more on it recently.
Way before I started looking for sockpuppets, finding out about their sockpuppet web is what caused this whole thing, the other mods know I posted after I found just how insanely manipulatively creepy
Herschelkrustofsky/the Party's sockpuppet web on Wikipedia was that I raised it with him in private as the other mods know — and seeing how large it was, and the ease he changes his IPs is what made me concerned that we might have similar problems here, since it seemed a bit like we put a Fox in charge of the chicken coop being allowed to approve new registrations like he did with "It's the blimp, Frank" — that's JUST like what happened with MB/Poetguy)
If you genuinely didn't know why I was posting that here, I hope that helps, it was very much on the topic. I'll try not to cause an argument for the the sake of Cedric and kitties, but it needed to be public as Wikipedia Review is supposed to be an independent site, and
Herschelkrustofsky knew that, and should have made it public instead of me having to find out 6 damn years later... If it hadn't been for the drama surrounding Will Beback I wouldn't have even known to look.

Fact is no one knows who the hell he is other than being an employee of the Party, and he used the same proxy
for a very long time whilst
"It's the Blimp, Frank" appeared whilst habitually playing
Poetguy like games on Wikipedia with characters like "Leatherstocking" - and was also
posting for a very long time with the same IP - it seems like during his time as staff
he later wised up, probably after spotting that it had been tracked in the system and now is more careful like with his other fully proxy'd-up socks (remember, they get money for this), I am pretty certain that it is him, especially when you take into account that
it's standard MO for him.
He might have changed to respect WR in general a bit nowadays, I hope, but due to his feelings on Larouche it seems like he STILL just can't help himself to sockpuppet to stir up hate against their enemies here too. "It's the blimp, Frank" is his puppet for saying the nasty things his "Good cop" Hersch persona can't say.
Though yeah, this stuff should really be in
the other thread on that stuff, but yeah.

— The sick thing is, if you look through that one, it went back as far back as July 2007 (starting off with racist stuff against jews) and ended in September 2009, the Poetguy stuff happened around May 2009, so all that time he was trying to manipulate people from WR into the Party's battles to defend "Leatherstocking"... whilst
pretending he was different than MB whilst acting in exactly the same way...
just so damn
alike.
