As I'm sure you are all aware, O.U.F. is a plan they have over in Freeperton to have people register at DU, post innocuously for months and then all unmask in a giant unmasking thread on election night, when Resident George wins his great landslide. What exactly would the point of this be? To do it, you would have to make reasonable points in order to establish a reputation (otherwise no one would give a shit when you unmask) and to avoid banning. So you would have to essentially act like a reasonable person for months, purely to enjoy those fleeting seconds of 'glory' before the big foot drops from the roof, and it's off to Tombstoneland. Therefore, O.U.F. is really a good way to socialize Freepers into making reasonable comments and being civil.
How would this hurt us?

Maybe a DUer went over to Freepburg with this idea, launched it, claiming it would 'paralyse' DU, and now, at this very minute, O.U.F. Freepers are getting the best possible education in being a rational human being. Wouldn't that be deep, deep irony?

We have to encourage Operation Ultimate Freep!
