How to Sort Shitposting?

Seriously, has it become site meta for games to be flooded with one liners and shitposters? How do people actually get a read on players that play recklessly every game, whether town or scum?

ideally you want multiple people shitposting. if they are then people will try to fit in with that and you can gut read who you think is faking it.

if they're posting one liners without having a genuine conception or idea behind what they're trying to put across, yeah go ahead and lynch them. one liners for certain people are just concise ways to say their thoughts in a way they want to, but they need to have at least SOME content as the game progresses or they're probably scum or shitty.

Just ignore it and focus on the content they do provide.

It's not a matter of reading their posts, you must be present in their discussions to sort them.

There's a happy medium between succinct and thorough. Site meta appears to swing between the two.


What I'm saying is one man's shitposter is another man's "hold my beer, I can interpret this"

It's interesting how many different opinions people have.

I think these are all valid ways to approach it.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

the trick is determining if the shit-poster's secondary motivation is obfuscation or if it's throwing scum off-balance
their primary motivation is lulz

applies. From time to time you'll get someone in burnout who just decides to more or less fuck around for a game or two.
