Conspiracy theory and cover ups forum Rules not being recognized whatsoever
    #13744874 - 01/07/11 01:09 AM (2 years, 4 months ago)

The Conspiracy theory and cover ups forum Rules are not being recognized whatsoever
and its quite frankly out of hand. The two moderators are literally doing nothing
in regards of honoring the rules and cleaning up the bullshit in said forum.

Why is this allowed to happen? :sad:

Those mods have a tough job

I have no clue how anyone could consistently distinguish the content from the clowns in there

This is kind of what Im talking about. People like you with that mindset are
allowed to come in there and say just thos things and the mods do nothing.

How can any sort of actual conversation take place when that is allowed to exist
in the forum?

no conversation exists in that place

its mostly youtube videos and popular science article rebuttals - no one has a clue what they are posting about in there outside of some random stumble block on the internet that they want to believe

place is retarded - let them CTaCU greeks ruin themselves

You are part of the problem and let me retort here if you go in there with
that mindset and spout that garbage no conversation will ever take place.
Unless of course the mods do their job and they are not.

Noetical, thank you for helping me prove my point. I know you are not
intentionally doing it but I thank you none the less.

To the admin's, this is the type of thing that is allowed to take place in said
forum. It was disabled as a sub-forum for a reason and this was not it.

The mods need to do their job or they should be replaced. If another mod is the
answer I would like to take the time to say I will gladly accept that job. Hell
I will not even post in there any longer I will just honer the rules as they are
listed. This I am sure will not happen but all I want is for the mods to follow
through with the rules.

The flames and incessant mockery of people who post in that forum is completely out of hand. I originally thought that place was for real thoughtful debate not "foiliez LOL fuckin reptiles" Wasnt that why it was originally  made for, to escape those kinds of childish remarks and flames?

Well, if you're looking for folks to agree with you, maybe you should try another webforum dedicated to this sort of thing. The Shroomery is a great place, but it can't suit every need.

Its not just about that. Good debate can be had but when the trolling is
simply overlooked it becomes absolutely impossible. The answer is simple.
The rules were made for a reason. Enforce them.

you do know that as soon as you nominate yourself for a moderator position you are automatically disqualified from ever being one in the future, yes?

Have you been reporting the infractions? I checked the reported threads from the last month and they've all been addressed. If there's a thread you reported and it seems like it's being ignored, please PM an admin with a direct link (after giving the mods a chance to take care of it, please).

i know i have been reporting infractions as they happen, seeing as how there are only two mods and most of the infractions are made by one of the mods i assume that he's reading and "dealing" with support tickets about himself, and thus nothing ever happens. I would also think that if anyone else who trolls that forum had been warned or banned they wouldnt be back doing they exact same thing without consequence. i think the problem is we need more mods who actually moderate according to rules and not personal issues.

in the true vein of conspiracy thinking, i don't believe what you are saying about that forum; i believe something else.

Honestly, these are pretty much my thoughts as well.  Moderating that forum has got to be difficult.

I notice that DeadHearts hasn't actually said specifically what the problem is, so its hard to comment without an example of what he's complaining about, but from my vantage point the insults seem pretty evenly divided on either side of the conspiracy theories.

The only thing I can say is that I have noticed a lot of the conspiracy forum regulars accuse people of trolling when they seem merely to be disagreeing with someone's argument or position.  I mean, it is a discussion forum- you are going to encounter people who disagree.

DeadHearts: is it possible to provide an example of what you're complaining about here?

here's your example right here john. this happens all day everyday, it's one thing to disagree but to tell someone theyre wrong with ZERO evidence to support that claim and then belittle them and their ideas or beliefs with no consequence is ridiculous.
