I have been thinking of posting this here for a while and finally decided to put this out there.
My intentions are not to single out any one individual, I just want a dialogue from Pakistanis of PDF on "the soul" of PDF.
I have noted that PDF is fast becoming a haven for Chinese posters who do nothing but spam PDF with pro Chinese content. Its to the point where at any given time the "New posts and threads" section will be like 30% fulled with at least one Chinese poster who is constantly posting pro Chinese news. (seriously try it, and look for all the pro Chinese posters)
One Chinese poster in particular has Joined PDF around 2011, the same time I did.
I have a full time job that gives me lots of free time, so I would say I spend more time on PDF then a normal person would. from 2011 to now I have managed to post like 7400 posts. In that same time this Chinese poster has managed to post almost 24000 posts.
Almost each and every one of them being a pro China post.
When PDF had a patwari problem, you could easily tell who was a paid patwari by the fact that they almost exclusively posted pro PMLN content and would never make posts that were critical of Nawaz and company.
Real posters don't behave like that.
Now my question is, how should we deal with Chinese posters who, it feels like, their full time job is to post pro China content here.
Should we allow PDF to become another mouth piece for CPC? Can we implement some guidelines on how to post? Maybe a limit thread creation to 2 day?
Now before PDF lynches me, I am not saying we should ban or stop Chinese posters. I am just saying we need a system to discourage obvious pro Chinese propaganda being constantly being posted here.
The mods here are protective of these Chinese posters so I am trying to be careful to not give them any reason to ban me.
I would appreciate an adult discussion and not just mudslinging at pro/anti Chinese propaganda posters. Also, this question is for Pakistani PDF members in particular.
I agree. There should be a balanced approach and oversight against any paid bots to spread misinformation or propaganda.
We like in an age of government sponsored social information paid Army bots. Should have gatekeepers in place to address that risk no matter which political spectrum they are from!
