Actionpost

A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to get a user to do something that can be used against them. The actionpost is the moving standard of acceptable behavior, the shifting boundary that the target is provoked to cross. First, they're encouraged to break a small rule. Nothing happens. Then a bigger rule. Still nothing. Then a major rule. The boundaries keep expanding, the consequences keep not coming, until the target finally does something catastrophic. That action is captured, screenshotted, reported. The actionpost has done its work: lured the target step by step into self-destruction.

Example: "They wanted him banned, so they set up an actionpost. First, they encouraged him to post off-topic. He did; no warning. Then to be slightly rude. He did; still no warning. Then to attack another user. He did; still nothing. Emboldened, he went further—harassing, threatening, crossing every line. Finally, he doxxed someone. Immediate ban, permanent record, potential legal trouble."

actionist 

A person that treats others based on the way that person acts and treats other people. An actionist is not a racist, even though some actionist trends might loosely follow race lines.

Person 1: You're a racist! You kicked that black guy in front of you because he is black.
Person 2. No, I'm an actionist. I kicked him because he pushed me out of the way to cut in the line and then dropped a SBD fart.

actionista 

An actionista is someone who is about it. Someone edged. Someone on the go. Confident in their abililty to handle people or situations so they don't need to waste time thinking or talking about it, they do it. Could be applied to anyone serious about making something happen. When the word was first used though by me I specifically meant it to refer to paid female companions - escorts that were the real deal.

When you get tired of dealing in fantasy and you're ready for the real thing you'll seek an actionista for fullfillment.

Actionpot

A form of honeypot designed specifically to get users to do something negative, controversial, or illegal—a server, community, or group created to encourage rule-breaking behavior, then document and report it. An actionpot might present itself as a place where "anything goes," where norms are suspended, where rebellion is celebrated. In reality, every rule-breaking action is recorded, every illegal act documented, every participant a potential target. Users join seeking freedom; they leave facing consequences.

Example: "The server advertised itself as a place with no rules—say anything, do anything, be free. Users flocked to it, pushing boundaries, breaking norms, doing things they'd never do elsewhere. Then the screenshots appeared—every rule-breaking moment, every illegal act, attached to real names. The actionpot had been a trap from the start, designed to harvest bad behavior for exposure. The users paid; the potters laughed."
