NashvilleNinja Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Tux may be a propaganda bot, but the Jussie Smollett thing is real. So deleting that thread was fucking stupid. Smollett claimed to be attacked by two MAGA hat wearing racists but had actually paid two Nigerian brothers to orchestrate the whole thing. It's pretty fucked up. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jussie-smollett-case-brothers-say-empire-actor-paid-them-to-participate-in-alleged-attack-source-says-2019-02-16/ Seriously... if Tux is that much of a problem that you feel the need to delete his threads then maybe you should delete his posting privileges or just ban his account altogether.

His thread wasn't deleted, it was merged into the "The Big Ugly" thread He makes dozens of threads every day, most of which are stupid bull shit that's completely false. If he accidentally posted something that actually had merit and it was merged that's on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Re-Posting Twitter feeds without original commentary (Which Tux is guilty of) and copy-n-pasting other peoples writing to pass off as your own (Tux is also guilty) is SPAM and clogs the board with propaganda thought. If a "poster" can't create an opinion of their own or even copy and re-type someone else's opinion within their own words, that person isn't really posting. They're just spamming a board with propaganda (i.e. the worst kind of contributor). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleNinja Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm not defending Tux's posting style. I don't want to have to scan past his wall of info-bombs either. I just don't get why there aren't at least some restrictions on his account. 7 minutes ago, Starkiller said: It’s not politics, whatever it is What isn't? This post's subject matter?

OzTitan Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Tux could very well be a bot. That's not an exaggeration, 99% of his posts could be done by a simple script. If Guru wanted a far right conspiracy bot installed on TR he probably would have installed one. Or maybe he did and its name is Tux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTitan Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 As for the topic, I'm not sure what value there is fixating on a random non public figure doing something stupid. You could fill the forum daily with similar stuff if you wanted. Who cares? People do crazy shit for politics and fame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is being talked about on political talk shows. Yes it is politics. And this ^^ is what happens. It's not politics but certain groups decide it's a way to promote divisions and spam it relentlessly until its in the forefront of the news. At that point political figures comment on it. And then that becomes news and is further used to divide people. This isn't a political topic and its not really controversial. The real story here imo is the spamming of propaganda. I'm all for discussion. I'm all for different views. I'm not for trolling or propaganda. Tux only spews forth trolling and propaganda. I'd support banning him.
