/u/MensRightMod is doing us a lot of harm, anyone know how we can fix this?

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll think about what can be done, though probably nothing more than telling people he's a fake. I don't think there's a reddit rule against pretending to be a mod.

While he's trying to harm us, I think his methods will backfire. He's spreading links to our subreddit, and some people will be curious enough to follow them. He's actually helping us, by advertising.

Actually, that false flag account is fooling no one and that fact that it doesn't post to this subreddit makes it obvious.

Nothing we can do, really. Unless it's against reddit rules to have a username that implies they're a mod of a certain subreddit when they are not? (not sure of this)

If we're so terrible, you'd think they could just let our words and actions speak for us. Instead, they have to make stuff up and fight to keep people from listening to us.

Just look at the comment history, we have to do something about this.

This troll is almost as weak as the one who posted the goatsee the other day. I'm kinda sad really. I thought mensrights would attract more skilled trolls. This third rate weak assed recycled trolling is frankly insulting.

Just go through and report every comment that's abusive or hostile. Simple.

3 month old account, less than a full page of activity on the account.

None of the comments posted by this nut have positive karma (though some are close o.O).

I wouldn't concern myself too much over this.

If you feel like doing "something" post a list of /r/MensRights mods, and mention that the dipshit isn't on that list.

Might be fun to write a bot that does it automatically. A fun weekend project, maybe. Maybe I'll give it a shot this weekend. Hmm...

Someone with the knowledge could make a bot that follows it announcing that its likely a feminist attempting to manufacture false accusations.

But really, people will probably figure that out anyway.

I think its funny that they have to resort to such blatant false flags to attempt to discredit the MRM.

I have never seen anything remotely similar happen in regards to feminism.

Space_Ninja · 2014-04-07T23:35:02+00:00

I suggest you make an alt account, pretend to be a feminist, and go around getting offended at everything and attacking people over the stupidest and pettiest bullcrap... Oh wait, that's what actual feminists really do, so forget I said anything. They're trolling themselves already by being stupid.

DarqTheExile · 2014-04-09T03:57:29+00:00

Make a bot that checks to see if the user posted anything and then have it post a disclaimer that this person doesn't represent MRAs or is even a mod?

Lol! Who cares, funny stuff
