Frequently asked questions
This page covers some of the most frequently asked questions relating to Nazis, and online related stuff.
Do I have another account I use to document social media trolls?
Yes, and it's @failedguideline. There, I mainly report on Facebook and Instagram trolls, although occasionally I do cover different social media sites as well.

Is Kent Bateman the person who published this site? Is this site an American based one?
NO. This is false information and a lie espoused and created by a troll known as "Know Your Enemy". Anyone sharing the lie is willfully spreading false information. This site is New Zealand based, although we are catered to an international audience - as well as local.

Why do we need to document trolls here?
We need to document trolls, as it is very important to let the public know about notorious trolls, including those affiliated with Nazi groups, such as Action Zealandia and the Proud Boys, and those who have made the headlines for being abusive online, and are continuing with such behavior (see Nicky Wright for example). The public needs to be aware about these trolls and Nazis so they can not only make an informed decision on how to deal with trolls, but to also help the public to avoid them as well, in addition to making them aware of the behavior of these individuals or groups.

Is this the only site who documents trolls?
No. There are several that we know out there, including the now defunct CardFax website (a site who reported on Jamie Lawlcard, Nicky Wright and his group of trolls).

Why is my Telegram Bot aggregating out at least 20 Groyper tweets every hour? And what does it do?
The bot has been deliberately set up to pick up Tweets containing any mention of Groyper OR accounts who are Groypers, so people can report Groyper tweets and accounts easily. It has been effective, as I have picked up some particularly abusive tweets and accounts using this bot - and tweeted them out for report. People can also subscribe to the telegram channel to help report Groypers to Twitter - by clicking on the links, which will take you to the Tweets - or accounts. However - be aware that sometimes innocent people's tweets can be unwittingly caught up in this, and when that happens, I do my best to remove the Telegram posts. If you think your Tweets have been mistakenly picked by the bot, contact me on Twitter, with a URL to the Telegram post, and I will remove the post.

Does a Groyper, a Nazi or a troll blocking my Twitter accounts prevent their tweets from being picked up by the bot on Telegram?
No. Blocking me on Twitter only prevents me from seeing their tweets from the two accounts that I use to report people. My bot picks up any Groyper account or tweets regardless of if they have blocked me or not. Also, blocking the two accounts I use to report others - @clampdownonhate and @failedguideline - doesn't achieve much, as I can report Groypers and other Nazis or trolls through other accounts. I am still able to retrieve the links of Groyper tweets using other accounts, and post the tweets and accounts out for report. To conclude this question, while blocking me on the two accounts mentioned will make it slightly harder for me to post bigots for report, it doesn't really achieve anything much.

Is my site anti-white?
NO. This is also false, a claim peddled by white supremacists who believe I deplatform people because they are white or European. This site is not against white people - or anyone for the matter- this site is against white supremacists, Nazis and white nationalists.

Do we report people based on their political beliefs, or where they stand in the political spectrum?
Of course not! We report people based on their online conduct, and those who engage in abuse, hate and violence, including participating in violent extremism groups. Also, we are not one sided, and this is not purely a left wing/right wing issue. Hate and propaganda occurs on both sides of the spectrum. We also report propaganda, accounts engaged in spreading misinformation - such as Covid Denial misinformation, fake accounts and those who are considered to be trollbots, engaging in spammy behavior or those who are a scammer.
We have, indeed, reported some left wing accounts who have engaged in hateful conduct or spreading propaganda and fake news, such as some anti - alcohol organizations - such as Alcohol Healthwatch, or left wing accounts who engage in transphobic or anti semitic behavior - such as people who support JK Rowling's views on transgender people.
While the right wing may have more issues such as far right white supremacy, nationalism and terrorism to deal with, we should acknowledge that there are plenty of people out there on the right who can be decent people, too. They just have differing views from the left.

Is what we are doing cyberstalking?
Absolutely not. We are documenting the online behavior of well known trolls, bigots and Nazis (and sometimes, their groups). Documenting is not the same as cyberstalking. Cyberstalking is when a person stalks another user, and sends harassing and threatening messages to them. They can also do very defamatory blogs on another user, such as false accusations and making fun of a person. Impersonation is a form of cyberstalking, something which Know Your Enemy has done - by repurposing her personal account to impersonate me with an anti semitic twist. In fact, some of these trolls and Nazis themselves, have criminal convictions such as Nicky Wright, who has done a brief stint in prison for stalking Nicola Brookes or have committed crimes - such as Know Your Enemy, who threatens violence against the Jewish community, or Omid, who has committed acts of revenge porn and benefit fraud and cyberstalking.

Does British Dean run this website? Why is there a link to one of the site's pages on the profile of his social media accounts?
Absolutely not. British Dean/Dean Aaron Podesta has absolutely NO connections to this page - as stated on the home page, the owner of this website is from Auckland, New Zealand. Dean is from Plymouth, the UK. Dean is linking my page to his social media profiles with malicious intent to harass me, and also to use the page to brag about his notoriety. Information about him can be found here.
