So first up, *of course* users don't announce they're brigading. That was my point.

You'd be surprised at how many people do announce they're brigading

I mean, it's the internet and I've been here a while, so almost certainly not.

I've dealt with brigades that announced their shit before - but that's not common and most users and/or communities that brigade now are aware that it's in their interests to not appear - much less *announce* themselves as - a coordinated attack.

The ones that announce themselves aren't trying to hide and aren't really part of the demographic that I think was our topic here; it's that the New Block risks being a new tool for the folks trying to hide their tracks, and that person I was talking to seems to believe somehow that makes data for Admin.
