Information
has gloss	(noun) a decoy who acts as an enthusiastic customer in order to stimulate the participation of others shill
has gloss	eng: A shill is person who is paid to help another person or organization to sell goods or services. The shill pretends to have no association with the seller/group and gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic customer. The person or group that hires the shill is using crowd psychology, to encourage other onlookers or audience members (who are unaware of the set-up) to purchase said goods or services. Shills are often employed by confidence artists. The term plant is also used. The term is also used to describe a person who is paid to help a political party or other advocacy organization to gain adherents; as with the situation of selling goods or services, the shill gives the impression of being unrelated to the group in question, and gives the impression that he or she finds merit in the ideological claims of the political party.

has gloss	deu: Ein Lockvogel (von engl. shill: Lockvogel, Anreißer) ist eine Person, die im Auftrag von Dienstleistern oder Produzenten im Sinne einer Interessenvertretung bestimmte Waren bewirbt, die der Konkurrenz abwertet oder andere Handlungen im Interesse des Auftraggebers ausführt, dabei aber die eigene Parteilichkeit verschweigt. Die Absicht hinter dem Einsatz basiert auf dem Ausnutzen von Mundpropaganda, dem Glauben potentieller Kunden auf authentische Empfehlungen (anderer scheinbar unbedarfter Kunden). Es ist demnach eine Form der Täuschung.
