I wonder why franky has green trust with his obvious shilling for chinese monopolist. Who gave him trust may be it's time to reconsider this assessment. Some newbies may suffer great money loss after reading his posts and going into alts like BTU

I agree with the OP. Letting shilling go unchecked is dangerous.
Usually you can tell the Bitcoin shills because they will only support one single scaling proposal or roadmap like a zealot.

ok on topic
a shill in my eyes is someone that makes multiple accounts where they obviously know a bit of bitcoin, but too afraid to use their main account to say whats on their mind.
by knowing a bit about bitcoin. i mean fresh account but having already formed opinions and not asking questions to research the real answers
a shill in my eyes is someone that makes multiple accounts where they try to echo chamber their rhetoric by pretending they have an army, instead of one person. by this i mean a kind of forum username sybil attack of a certain narrative
edit to answer point in fiendcoins next post:
off the top of my head..
like yourself fiendcoin
most of your posts are only a couple lines where all you want to do is throw out the obvious buzzwords/insults.
you have already admitted you do it as a hobby and for the lol's
darkbot is another, example repetition of insults and buzzwording, but has yet to admit it

im guessing you want the examples so you can learn how to be less obvious with your next username you create

I gave you the courtesy of not calling you a shill here, the least you could do is the same.
And BTW, you're trolling my thread, please stop.

Post some sources (with a brief description) on trolls/shills if you got some.

You got me franky, I'm a 100% shill against BU the Chinacoin. I thought that was pretty clear? 
but have you asked yourself
1. do you know the actual stats of bitcoin mining vs actual geo-location. to use a racist term like Chinacoin
2. do you know that sing the term chinacoin is not an original thought buzzword, but just a repeat from somewhere else you have read. and your just repeating what you have read elswhere
how much research do you actually do after reading a reddit script before posting rhetoric
Let's keep on topic here and only post good troll/shilling sources to inform and enlighten readers, ok?
We can battle about the usual bullshit in all the other threads.

how much research do you actually do after reading a reddit script before posting rhetoric
4. lets say you realised that BU was 99.9% the same code as bitcoin core 0.12 and the assert bug was actually part of bitcoin core and not fixed until v0.13.
would your opinion change if
gmaxwell released it as is.
or
a banker released it as is.
or
someone neither in blockstream or a banker released it as is

opposing a view is different from shilling.
my post history has been very open about my views
however there are some people who have created an account where even their very first post contains the standard buzzwords that have been repeated by others spouting the same rhetoric.*
the solution.
when a code, concept, idea or opinion pops up from any side. ask yourself
what if hearne or a wall street banker done it.
meaning what if instead of blockstream, an outsider/obvious banker wrote the exact same segwit or dynamic code. line for line where the only difference is who wrote it
would you defend the code or the dev. would your opinion change
i know i expect my post to get deleted not due to the context. but because the OP has bias
only 6 weeks ago: OP's first post 2 known scripted buzzwords

It's sad that so many bitcoiners are dumb enough to support B(F)U Chinacoin.

the shills here are so obvious and so relentless that they kind of wipe out any effect they want to have.
reddit is kind of a different matter but the way it's set up is so fundamentally shitty that i don't think it's worth paying any attention to any more. i'm surprised reddit as a whole continues to thrive. i hate it.

It only takes a few accounts to manipulate any discussion.
