What happens if we start to deal with topics instead of individual posts?
I know that bumping bots and shills could use this to kill the competitor topics
I don't think that moderators will be willing to take action and lock/trash announcement threads because of:
- bots and shills
- % of deleted posts
- banned accounts
- pyramid quotes and fake conversations
As you said, it could be used as a tactic to damage/undermine legitimate projects and because we can't prove that these accounts have any direct connection with the project itself, although they bump threads with spam and copypasta, mods can't do anything other than delete posts and ban individual accounts reported for plagiarism...this is at least what I noticed so far.
