Some of the tactics used to mess up qresearch main board mar-aug 2019:

1. BO/BVs staged a coup against 8bit via threatening to doxx him (stand-up BO) and took over in April.

2. Same crew become increasingly distant and hostile towards anons, they purposely made the board more & more uncomfy--per post captchas played a big role there but they did a lot of other things (e.g., removing threads they didn't like) to make the place a "hostile work environment."

3. Biggest tactic was the wholesale campaign against bakers. Bakers are always the weak link in the chain coz there are so few of them, espec. regular bakers. If you can drive away the bakers, you can shut the board down (or at least make it highly dysfunctional).

They did not succeed in shutting it down but did make things pretty messed up, using many ploys:

- new BO never communicated the way 8Bit did; issued edicts, didn't ask. wtf is this guy? anons wanted to know but he said little
- Later, lazy BO arbitrarily took away BV vetting process, which had worked well previously (called bakers "complacent")
- baker monickers or pastebins with names were attacked as fame/name fagging, even tho they worked well for /comms/ (remember, we no longer had BO/BV's to help vet bakers--wouldn't even give us work sched so we'd know when there was someone on duty). In summary, they attacked the means by which we could easily id each other, then inserted their shills and finally attacked bakers as shills
- BO/BVs were gone a lot--once we had a shill thread sitting in the unlocked for like 8 or 10 hours?
- inexperienced bakers who made mistakes were called shills (by shills); even brand new bakers were attacked as shills ( (((they))) didn't want new bakers)
