The private stoning party

There seems to be a common pattern of people stoning each other consistently.

Im just wondering are these individuals private messaging each and saying you stone me and I'll stone you, and then we will get a debate going.

I want to subscribe to threads but im not sure if there's a silent moderator at work or perhaps it's a wannabe moderator.

This type of behaviour also seems to be common from moderators.

The silent moderator.

There seems to be some silent moderators here,

Yes.
I would not feel so alone...
Everybody must get stoned.

An Inquisition is better than a stoning.

Let's hope you were not referring to this: By definition, being "stoned" is the experience of intoxication by the effects of cannabis. Often used to describe the heavy, sedating, and relaxing experiences sometimes associated with using cannabis.

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Genesis 1:29

Double point score for the name of the track and the name of the group.

For food but not smoking right?

Some people eat it... and consider it much more beneficial than alcohol,
medicinally, and recreationally. I myself do not partake. Any more.
I actually have well over twenty years total of sobriety under my belt.
Mind you, that is not continuous. Continuous is over twelve years.

That's good. I wasn't promoting eating it.

Speaking from experience in a now closed forum.

There moderators and the administrator all had sock accounts.

They'd troll under certain names, and reply respectfully under others.

The goal was to instigate conflict and discussion.

The civil members would reply in hopes of reaching the conflict posters(mod/admin socks).
And of course some members would just launch in equal measure into the trolls.

The whole point of this was advertising revenue.

The more pages that accrued on every thread the more $ came in from the advertisers.

They also sponsored fund drives to support the community.

After awhile a few of the disenchanted moderators, me 8ncluded who refused to play that game, left.

Some spread the word about their games on forum review sites. Others blasted them from their social media pages.

Eventually the site closed after it was somehow hacked and its boards wiped clean.

They rebounded for a bit but the owner finally closed the site.

I don't know that this is happening here.

All I know is, you can ignore the conflict bait and keep things civil.

You'll never know if or who sick accounts are on any site.
