In forums, people may use a variety of strategies to organize collective action to damage a user’s reputation. Here are some examples: 1. **Information warfare**: Working with other users to write and spread negative comments, posts, or private messages about a target user. This can include generalizations and accusations based on false information. 2. **Ideological mobilization**: Self-organizing groups in forums that share a common interest in a particular ideology or value. Using this sense of solidarity to manipulate the wider community and force a user to be seen in a certain way. 3. **Denial of service**: Forcing someone to be unable to comment or participate in a topic discussion, thereby perpetuating a stereotype about someone. Using weakness to deny them the freedom to express their opinions or respond to accusations. 4. **Social media warfare**: Outsourcing new online actors to participate and promote the suppression of a specific user’s reputation. This can include everything from providing information about the target user to others to contacting their family or colleagues. 5. **Technology-based attacks and exploits**: Using technical knowledge to reveal the target user’s internet usage patterns, which can be attributed and then used as evidence to prove that the user has committed wrongdoing. 6. **Tribal Mentality and Social Exclusion**: Prolonged criticism or disparagement designed to create psychological isolation within a community. This can cause users to stop participating, even if they have legitimate explanations for the alleged content. 7. **User Solidarity**: Contacting other users to unite to dominate one user, often using phrases such as "we are all part of the same camp" to make everyone feel that their participation in oppression is acceptable or even justified. 8. **Verbal Aggression and Physical Violence**: This includes the use of threatening phrases when engaging in a common effort, intimidation or exerting subjugation through physical violence. These tactics are ways of interacting that are bullying, reckless, and hurtful to others. They are primarily used to hurt people and may make up a wider range of block memetic actions.
