You underestimate the power of defense forces. People don't joke when they say there's a defence force for everything here. We have Russia defend force (in the Ukraine threads) and mass surveillance-NSA defence force.

I'm not really going to be bothered to go look for them, but I've been here long enough to see several threads deleted and a decent number of users banned because it was discovered they were shills.
I think it's reasonable to assume there are more that were good enough to not be uncovered.
It's certainly not rampant though.
Question for Evilore and/or mods
When you tell people you run/mod at GAF, what percent of people actually know what NeoGAF is? Obviously, we all know it's popularity with hardcore gamers, but I wonder how many average people are familiar with the site (or have at least heard of it).

I've been a member for as long as the forum (in its various incarnations) existed, yet my nephew has been trying to become a member for just as long without success. I'm not sure what he's doing wrong but he can't get his registration attempts to go through the iron wall.
I thought this was pretty obvious for the Gaming side, no? That side definitely has its....preferences. And it's not like this problem is exclusive to GAF.

Interesting. Not as much as I thought given the way Evilore talks. Still nice though.
I mean, it's pretty popular. I guess.
That's annoying, honestly. We take that kind of thing very seriously. There's a major difference between being paid shills/viral marketers and an annoying fanboy, and the former group is absolutely not tolerated (and the latter group is usually banned eventually too, usually in review threads).

There's definitely a mystique to it. I've watched folks get banned & I just think "holy shit how could you do that? It's too hard to get in to clown like that"
I thought the implication was more about mods, myself.

If you have to ask how to make a thread, you'll never figure it out.
It's happened twice here in my five year stay, as far as I can remember. You get some annoying fanboys who can't shut it off, but actual paid shills are extraordinarily rare.
Also, anyone worried that GAF is one big paid advertisement for games has never gone into gaming much. I think gaming side tears down more games than it builds up. Hell, we had a documentary where industry professionals expressed distaste for the site, and there was even a joke in a game about how NeoGAF will destroy your game for doing something wrong.

Hm? No, I know why I can't. It's the policy.
You're six posts away from posting your wild threads.

Yeah those nasty unethical mods, how dare they devalue the position by doing the work for free.
welp , i am an outlier .
Being a mod is like an unpaid internship that never ends.
But think of the experience they're gaining!
The only thing online i've moderated were twitch chats. It wasn't too bad.

Those Alexa rankings are pretty cool.
A bunch of stuff is paywalled or whatever but the stuff that is there is neat enough.
I have no idea what a "chiragchirag78" is but it is the second biggest search term driving traffic to here.
Number one is the site name itself, third is "downsampling".
Fifth is "dying light pc performance"
"xboxrepublika.com" is the most related site.
Can I be coy and claim this is evidence that Xbox runs this site and not Sony as people sometimes state or is it a terrible joke? My feelings can handle it.
School is the majority for site access and the mobile site consists just over 1% of site usage, whereas desktop variant comprises the rest.

Lot of people with this achievement.
Who is that one dude banned 13 times and not perm'd?
How about posting on GAF for 10 years without getting a ban.

i'm pretty sure that's happened, was mentioned in a thread like a month ago. can't remember who.

More than one.
Alexa is one of the best comparative metrics for site popularity, but only between popular websites and other popular websites (unpopular websites can be artificially skewed in alexa rank very easily), and not at all for any absolute metrics. Ignore anything it says about actual traffic numbers, demographics, etc., because they don't have access to any of that information.
It was Crushed. I edited my post. And EatChildren was banned at the time he ascended.
