Academic paper about 4chan's /pol/ forum

/pol/ is easy to spoof, but it automatically adds a trip to unique IPs and posts the flag of the IP’s country. It’s both anonymous from a user’s personal life but allows for the crowd to search out and target specific trips so it encourages group think and unity despite the anonymous nature.

Would you mind expanding upon this? What do you mean by “trips”? I tried doing a search for “website trips” and didn’t see anything that looked relevant.
