Primary source;

I'm messaging the moderators of this subreddit to let you know that r/worldnews has been the target of a pretty elaborate vote scheme that I discovered a few days ago.

I discovered this when I saw this thread on the Warrior forum, an internet marketing forum that I am part of.

Here's the thread that was posted, offering to pay people to vote on reddit threads. https://www.warriorforum.com/showthread.php?p=10170952

I joined mainly out of curiosity and thought they would be using it for marketing their articles, but it turned it was just a huge Israel support group. There were close to 80 people in the group and it seemed like it had been going on for a while, and they are basically posted threads and telling people to downvote and upvote them. hey were being super secretive as well and had all their "rules" in a separate web hosted text.

I honestly don't really give a fuck about Israel or Palestine but what pissed me off was how obsessed they were with this and how they were trying to get personal information from the users they didn't like. Not sure what they intended to do with the information but it seems like they had nasty intentions. I was going to message the users they "blacklisted" and tell them that their personal information might be getting collected, but I figured it's better if I just alert the mods here.

Anyways, I got banned from the group for threatening to tell the mods lol.

I did find their rules in my search history on here if you want to see how they are doing this:

The same goes for /r/politics. Here's the thread from yesterday for those who missed it.

And here's tons of info on shills.

Edit: Also, this would explain why so many of the pro-Israel trolls don't have much diversity in their history. Everything is worldnews. Worldnews is the geopolitics section of Reddit. If they control that, they control quite a large portion of the reddit narrative. 400,000 people visit that sub every day. r/politics is about 80,000.

Subscribe to /r/worldnewswatch. It's a subreddit I started because those mods are so blantant in their agenda. It might as well be run by the Pentagon and Mossad.

[–]InternetPropagandist 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Done. I see a lot of people creating subs for very little reason, but this one is a great idea. Keep it active and I'll plug it where I can. Deal?

Sounds good. The subreddit is basically a record of evidence to be used one day to hopefully kick those corrupt assholes out so I'm just trying to get people to actually report their incidents there instead of scattering their complaints across /r/conspiracy, /r/politicalmoderation, and other subreddits. Everything in one place gives everyone an opportunity to point out their lies.

U sub to my.sub?

If your sub gets big enough they will try to take it away from you in some really sneaky ways. It's happened before.

All the evidence will be saved by the internet archive so I'm not afraid of them. It's just a body of evidence so when your post gets removed or you get banned from /r/worldnews and they feed you a lie about why, you have things to point to that show how hypocritical they are. Hopefully if we start getting thousands of reports, the admins can be persuaded to take a look.

All you have to do is look on the /r/israel sidebar to see what the priorities are

compare it to /r/unitedkingdom sidebar links for example:

  • /r/AskUK
  • UK Politics
  • London
  • BritPics
  • British TV
  • British Problems
  • The Red Lion
