    I... how do you do that? That's pretty cool! And also somewhat disconcerting.

    Edit: unless it's just random. The actual content of that post leaves me to suspect it's just too perfect.

    I'm a software engineer who got tired of /r/conspiracy users hijacking /r/worldnews threads. For now it's still a script I run locally on my machine. It downloads a users entire comment history (up to 1000 comments) and then does a little analysis on their subreddits and vocabulary.

    I am planning on doing one of two things with it:

    1) release the source entirely so anyone can use it at any time on any user they want (bonus: it uses TOR so even Reddit won't know you're doing it)

    2) set up a webserver on Tor to allow people to make requests.

    What exactly are you saying with your analysis of his reddit habits? WHy is it relevant? He's had one post in /r/conspiracy

    I'm a software engineer who got tired of /r/conspiracy users hijacking /r/worldnews threads.

    You started this to stalk and harass people who's opinions you hate (such as me for being a user of both r/conspiracy and r/911truth) just to salient whatever you wanted when it was convenient for you out of context; i.e. if the user shows that he posts in r/christianism then you go ahead and bold that out.

    You first started with the account /u/ShillsThatKillz, then you moved to the iterating account that you still use today, starting with:

    /u/ShillsThatKillz - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion - Status: Shadowbanned

    /u/NSA_Shill_01 - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion - Status: Shadowbanned

    /u/NSA_Shill_02 - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion | Sample 2 | Mirror in case of deletion - Admits that his intention is to stalk and harass other users through reddit

    /u/NSA_Shill_03 - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion - Status: Shadowbanned

    /u/NSA_Shill_04 - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion - Status: Negative comment points which prevents posting in certain subs

    /u/NSA_Shill_05 - Sample | Mirror in case of deletion - Status: Negative comment points which prevents posting in certain subs

    /u/NSA_Shill_06 - Current account, has posted more than just stalking tables which has kept this account comment-point positive, because the typical table posts are practically all negative.

    This is a r/conspiratard member (ShillsThatKillz) that developed a very serious obsessive disorder and is dedicating his life to harasss and stalk people that he hates based on their opinions/views. This is just one of the many members of that sub (a sub that even the mods commend violence against people that think differently) that are engaged in this obsessive behavior.

    EDIT: Fixed formatting

    You're spreading radical, idiotic views on a heavily traveled site. Expect harassment.

    You're spreading radical, idiotic views on a heavily traveled site. Expect harassment.

    I remember when the same thing was said when people were saying that the government was spying on its own citizens. Once the leaks started suddenly those views stopped being idiotic.

    Having a different opinion is by no means any form of justification for obsessive stalking and harassment, it is as excusable as when the KKK killed black people because they hated them.

    It's not so much the problem of people having "idiotic views" as much as it is the problem of having people that are willing to stalk and harass those that have different opinions.

    I shouldn't have to expect harassment or even try to justify it, like some users do.

    I delete my comments every so often ... your sample size is wrong. but do me.. I'm one of the 'hijackers'

    BTW how do you decide who is a hijacker and who is legitimately commenting?

    [–]PayneNDiaz 19 ポイント20 ポイント

    If your opinion is different from his, you're a hijacker.

    [–]NSA_SHILL_06 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

    That would be the obvious flaw with the current implementation. However as a result of the interest in this thread I'm going to go ahead and expedite the open source version so that you or anyone else can use it as well. I'll start including a link to the source code in every comment it is used as well. It'll take me a few hours. If this account gets shadowbanned by then (probable) I'll be using another, but it should be easy to recognize me.

    Thanks for giving me a good reason to get moving on this, I've been putting it off for weeks.

    Well there ain't no way around that, at this point its entirely subjective. I would love nothing more than for other people to be able to use it to figure out if someone is adding a valid concern to the discussion, or if /r/conspiracy is trying to shovel yet more poorly-cited shit down their collective throat.

    Edit: sent you your report.

    [–]shmegegy 2 ポイント3 ポイント

    I'm more of a skeptic. I consider people that believe that 19 saudis plotted in secret to attack America, conspiracy theorists. Maybe you can PM me my Xkeyscore?

    edit: thanks to NSA_SHILL_06 for the report... what a laugh.

    Associated Press - NY court restores Saudi Arabia in Sept. 11 lawsuit

    A federal appeals court on Thursday reinstated Saudi Arabia as a defendant in lawsuits claiming it provided support to al-Qaeda before the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

    In the lawsuits, lawyers argued that the Sept. 11 attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people, had been planned for years by a network of Islamic militants with the assistance of banks, governments and individuals.

    Lawyers in the Sept. 11 cases have frequently cited the report by the Sept. 11 Commission. Lawyers for the plaintiffs have said the commission supported their argument that Saudi Arabia had long been considered the primary source of al-Qaida funding, while lawyers for Saudi Arabia have argued that the commission found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded al-Qaida.

    NYPOST - Inside the Saudi 9/11 coverup

    But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress’ investigative report on 9/11 dealing with “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.

    The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found “incontrovertible evidence” that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and intelligence officers employed by the kingdom — helped the hijackers both financially and logistically. The intelligence files cited in the report directly implicate the Saudi embassy in Washington and consulate in Los Angeles in the attacks, making 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war.

    CBSNews - The Tangled Web Of U.S.-Saudi Ties (April 20, 2004, 7:35 PM)

    Both then-president Bush and the current president have had personal and deep financial ties with the Saudi royal family. Author and journalist Craig Unger documents $1.4 billion that has "made its way" from the Saudi royal family to "entities tied" to the Bush family, according to Unger's controversial book "House of Bush, House of Saud."

    "There is a fundamental piece of logic missing in the American conversation ... the Saudis played a big role in terrorism, that the Bushes have very, very close to the Saudis both in business terms, personal terms, and in public policy. And it has a resulted in a non-cracking down in the Saudi role on terror," said Unger, who lives only blocks from where the World Trade Center once stood.

    "They have turned a blind eye to the Saudi role," he added, speaking from Houston, where he is currently on a book tour.

    If you're wondering why I have "..." as a keyword, it's because of an interesting comment I saw awhile back somewhere that pointed out the possible correlation between believing in conspiracies and over-use of "..." so I just added it to the database to see what happens.

    There are currently 719 flagged words and 213 flagged subreddits. I make no claim about either list being infallible, it's just what I cobbled together to get this project started initially.

    [–]shmegegy 1 ポイント2 ポイント

    ... believing in conspiracies

    I don't believe in the number one conspiracy theory, the one about the 19 saudis. I think the correlation has more to do with the capacity of critical thought. the ellipses are a placeholder for connecting two thoughts.

    p.s. do you know about reddit investigator? http://www.redditinvestigator.com/

    here's what it gleaned from your limited history.

    Probably from: America
    Support OWS: Probably no or doesn't care.
    Children: I do not think so...
    Gamer: Games?
    Like trees: They are beautiful in spring.
    Behavior: Scumbag...

    Not even gonna bother trying to reason with you.

    Yeah, I know all about it. It's pretty basic. That's why I wrote a (in my opinion) better version.

    I was under the impression that this is literally the case at all times, all day, every day.

    [–]ammunation -1 ポイント0 ポイント

    From the two users you posted under in this thread, it seems like the keywords play the biggest role in the decision since the subreddits seem to be either common or random.

    Regardless, it's pretty neat. Reminds me of Reddit Investigator or Reddit Graphs in a way, just neater and straight to the point for this certain situation.

    I was considering baking in an imgur upload of the user's posts by time in a 24 hour span (i.e. when theyre most active). Actually now that I think about it I have the code for uploading laying around here somewhere.

    No, ya think, Mr. 6 posts?! You're a bully hiding behind another account playing "thought police", hoping to shut down any conversation that questions what the whole world already thinks it knows: that the US spies on its own citizens and has a piss record on human rights issues. You want someone to cite such a basic obvious concern, really? Do you not "believe in" Justin Bieber, either? But okay, two-face, let's play (and note, 2006 through 2014; OUCH, right?!):
