    This is something you guys should know.

    Summary:
    COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum..
    Technique #1 - 'FORUM SLIDING'
    If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by 'forum sliding.' In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to 'age.'

    Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING'
    Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting.

    Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'
    implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity.

    Technique #4 - 'INFORMATION COLLECTION'
    Information collection is also a very effective method to determine the psychological level of the forum members, and to gather intelligence that can be used against them.

    Technique #5 - 'ANGER TROLLING'
    present a image to the forum to deliberately incite a strong psychological reaction. From this the most violent in the group can be effectively singled out for reverse IP location and possibly local enforcement tracking.

    Technique #6 - 'GAINING FULL CONTROL' (A favorite among big 3-letter websites... [cough]ahem...)
    the forum can then be effectively and quietly controlled by deleting unfavourable postings - and one can eventually steer the forum into complete failure and lack of interest by the general public.
