Make no mistake: the racist, homophobic bigots of
/r/altright
are not going to leave, they're going to start infiltrating other areas of reddit, the exact same thing that happened with
/r/fatpeoplehate,
/r/european,
/r/coontown
and dozens of other hate subs when they got banned.
Well guess what, it's time for some
EXTREME VETTING!
By a huge stroke of luck, just 24 hours before the sub got rightfully smashed into the dirt, I went through and tagged over 1500 prolific
/r/altright
posters so that it's easy to spot them when they try and innocuously sneak into other subs.
You too can keep an eye on this scum simply by installing Reddit Enhancement Suite and following these instructions:
Make sure the RES command line is turned on. If you hit "." (the period key) and a little bar pops up with a text entry box, then it's turned on. If not, go into RES settings and in the left-hand sidebar, scroll down until you see the "Core" entry, click it, and then click "RES Command Line" in the submenu to bring up the right settings. Make sure the "RES Command Line" heading is switched to "ON", and make sure the sub-options are switched on too. You can also click the "Launch" button to open the command line in one tab, and then switch back to this tab here to read the rest of these instructions.
NOTE: If you don't currently use RES's user tagger, and you don't have any tags that you need to preserve, you can skip to step 6.
Paste
RESStorage update RESmodules.userTagger.tags
into the RES command line and hit enter, or click the button. A window will appear containing a list of all your current RES tags. Copy everything in that box.
The Mass Tagger doesn't work with any uppercase usernames for some reason, so you need to convert your current tag list into lowercase first. I recommend using
https://convertcase.net/, but use whatever tool you have at your disposal. Basically, the stuff you just copied in step 2 needs to be run through a lower case conversion before you move on to step 4.
Paste the tags you just copied into the third text area in the right hand column, the one directly underneath the label "Paste your RES tags here".
Paste the text you just copied into the Mass Tagger in the text area with the label "New Tags"
Hit the "Merge tags" button in the Mass Tagger, then copy all the tags from the "Merged Tag Results" box
Open the RES Command Line again and paste the same line of text I gave you in step 2, then paste the tags you copied in step 8 into the box that appears, and press "confirm" save your handiwork.
From now on, all of the top posters from
/r/altright
will show up with a red "
/r/altright" tag next to their name whenever they appear anywhere on reddit.
Keep your eyes peeled for these hateful fucks, because they WILL try and subvert the rest of reddit now that their safe space is gone.
It's pretty straight forward, and if you hover over the various options for a few seconds it'll display a tooltip explaining what each section is for. Once you've generated a list of users in whichever sub you're tagging you can follow the exact same steps I've given you in this post, but instead of copying the list in option 6 just use the list generated by the tagger.
