Title: If you have a DU Mole……..
Post by: DUtroll on November 14, 2010, 06:57:21 PM
My PSA for the day.

Don’t click on DU links from Conservative Cave. It would be trivial for the DU admin to map Conservative Cave http referrers to DU member ip addresses. I assume this is common knowledge amongst the more experienced moles, yet I figured I would throw it out there.

Right click links and “copy link contents” (Firefox) or “copy short cut” (IE) and paste into a new browser tab or window. This method isn’t perfect but it makes it a bit more difficult for someone to tell that you’ve been browsing CC prior to visiting a camp fire.

You're right, sir, absolutely right, and fortunately most here with moles know this.

But it's a good reminder, and I thank you for posting this.

No, thank you Frank for contributing so much to the world of Primitive research. I'm pleased to be able to help out where I can.

Be sure, sir, to hang around the DUmpster during its busy season, when everybody learns more about the primitives than they care to know (but should know anyway).

The busy season runs Thanksgiving Eve to New Year's Eve. 

Make it a point to drop in, often.

I'll be sure to tune-in. In fact, I started lurking CC last year around Thanksgiving. I was doing some research on the primitives and in the course of such research I found this site. For many years, I've used DU as a form of "comedic relief"...browsing GD and LBN for chuckles on an almost nightly basis. I've found though that CC makes a great resource in streamlining the process.  Let's face it, 90% of everything posted at DU is of little merit.

My interest in DU started circa 2004, yet I never wondered if there were others like me who used the site as a form of entertainment. I was quite surprised when I realized that there are several sites dedicated to just such. Now, I'll never have to spend another Fitzmas alone. Nor will I fret about "earthquake weapons" without being able to share my concern.  :cheersmate:

That, sir, is one of the purposes of the DUmpster; to provide research resources for decent and civilized people interested in the, uh, really odd mind-sets and attitudes and values of the primitives.

There's quite a few pros here, and quite a few good writers, and I myself am considerably elevated by the company with which I adhere.  As the late Clare Boothe Luce once said, "if you want class, hang around with people who have class."

Or maybe that was someone else who said that; franksolich has a bad habit of attributing all pearls of wisdom to the late Mrs. Henry R. Luce, because even if she wasn't the originator of the quote, she probably thought of it long before the person who actually said it, said it.

I look at the DUmpster (there's many ways of looking at the DUmpster, but this is mine) as a laboratory.  I go out and collect specimens from Skins's island, and haul them back here, interested in knowing if other decent and civilized people, upon examining those specimens, see the same things I do, or something different.

Linking is safe for me, but thank you for stating the fundamentals, Troll. Anyone and everyone who has/wishes to have a mole in DUmor Land should adhere to this advice. And most do.  :-)

I dunno how many moles I've had on Skins's island.

Probably 10-12, over the past nine and a half years.

Because I was watching the 2001 inaugural parade on television, and saw Skins and Lord Marblehead in the crowd holding up a large banner, DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND.COM, as the parade went by, some days later on the internet I checked it out. 

It didn't look too good at the time, but it had just gotten underway.

I checked it every so often that spring and summer, and at one point registered.

Then 9/11 happened, and I put it aside.

About a year after 9/11, I went back, but my moles made a lot of mistakes, and got banned.

It wasn't until the Scamdal of spring 2005 that I had a mole with feet.....and then lo and behold, in the midst of the Scamdal, someone who had joined Skins's island in the spring of 2001, disgusted with the really stupid antics of Beth, Doug's wife at the time, gave me the gift of his/her (I know what it was, but confidentiality is important here) screen-name and password.

The mole I had created, and this more-senior "member," lasted a couple of years beyond that, but I was getting kind of tired and worn out from the primitives, and made one negligent mistake (the mole I had created), and one intentional mistake (the mole that had been given to me), and both had gotten banned.

So I had to start all over again......

This time around, however, this mole does NOT exist to discombobulate the primitives; franksolich has way too much respect for his fellow alum Skins to do that.  This mole usually takes care to comment, but only in one or two sentences; I don't dare write anything long, because franksolich's "style" is too-easily identifiable.

This mole exists to establish "personal message" "relationships" with certain primitives, so as to collect anthropological material, and since that's all behind the curtain and doesn't cause any discombobulation among the primitives, my fellow alum leaves me alone.

I'm sure Skins knows who my mole is, but again, because I don't cause him any problems, he leaves me alone in peace and quiet.

I always found it interesting, how a real-life person can get too involved in an identity as an internet person--it's been some years now, but I still react to "Walt," for example, as if it's me.

That's interesting. Tell me more.

The owners and administrators on Skins's island--my fellow alum Skins, Lord Marblehead EarlG, and the elusive enigmatic Elad--can see who answered how, on polls.

Polls are used on Skins's island to weed out moles, by watching those primitives who answer wrongly.

Don't ever respond to a poll on Skin's island.

That's what I figured. See, Mr Revolution would be too smart for that. He would know what answers to provide, how, and why.

The man is a very intelligent one that would have no problem answering any poll they threw at him.  :-)

Be careful, though.

franksolich always undertakes something with the quite reasonable assumption that the other guy is smarter than he is.

False. Being signed into DU makes no difference. All elad has to do is run a report for all CC http referrers. This will create a listing of ips associated with people who clicked from CC. Then a simple comparison* of CC http referrers to IP addresses listed within one of the member tables....and voila your mole is roasted.

*This comparison could be done with a simple SQL script or Excel.

The best way to mole on DU and still have a mole at the end of the day is to read any message, then respond in the exact opposite way you would normally.

Thread about Barry? Praise his courage and thoughtfullness.
Thread about the economy? Sing about how great it's going.
Thread about the War? Declare it unjust and cry tears for all the innocent lives we've destroyed.
If someone calls you out? Call them out, uncaring about true progressives, and alert on them for attacking you personally, Post leftist talking points.

Last and best, Always have a disability to fall back on to show. Be crazy, insomnia, bipolar, ghey, bi, divorced, bald, etc etc etc...anything that can get you a better parking spot is DUmpmonkie gold.

DUtroll is correct - the only thing that may stop DU from putting two and two together is browsing via proxy while not logged in. The only other variables is the administrator's technical abilities and paranoia.. -- Both of which are quite high at DU.

There is a mole out there on the Island that is undetected, and still going strong. Only because he has learned so much from his fellow friends at The Cave.  :whistling:
