This seems like one of the few good subs out there. You guys are cool.

it's almost comical here. remember usernames. you'll see a top comment that's just plain bullshit cause it's been vote brigaded. or vice versa. some of the best info you can find here has massive downvotes.

Yeah. A couple people whose comments I liked and seem like good fits for this sub just get slammed and marginalized at every turn.

This place (all of reddit) is completely controlled but done so in a way to give plausible deniability.

I agree with you. You can always take their names to /r/reportthespammers. I'm personally really tired of the JIDF sticking their big noses in our news.

I try to collapse all the comments til I get to the bottom. I open down voted ones just to see. It seems relatively obvious when conspiratard fucks are gaming shit or the sock puppets are here. It's usually over the same topics: JFK, 9/11, Israel, etc.

Agreed, I've written comments with other acounts that were rubbish in quality get upvoted to the top whilst my highest quality of comments has been downvoted. Only anecdotal.

Thanks for the new word!

It's still one of the better subs, especially for current events and hidden history.

While its still an OK place, /r/conspiracy has been compromised and diluted in the last year. The brigades are fucking up posts pretty hard. /r/noshill was born because of it. Mods made changes and made it kind of boring...actual conspiracy posts are getting fewer and farther in between.

I don't know if its just the natural decay all things must face or it's real slow times in the conspiracy world or its been purposely fucked up.

what happedn with the "only upvotes" change they did a few weeks ago?

Remember a few names, off the top of my head: Bitchintechnology is one - just ignore and hide everything the user says.

I'm starting to recognize them.

Starting to fuckin' hate this site and the mods. Just like the government, they use the laws and apply them to only certain cases and disregard them in completely other circumstances. Wish there was a new Reddit...

Its almost like its in our nature to abuse power when we get it. Weird.

thanks for the laugh :)

na i think it's just certain arseholes have been put in positions of power because they're views are inline with those already in power. Some subs are really well run by great people and they recruit like minds.

haha

/pol/ welcomes you

Redpill them all, the path of light prevails! Hail moot!

The origin of the Saint Patrick's day Nazis?

Same here. It used to be quite kick ass. Most of the members worked as a team and were familiar with each other . Now its random people showing up just to shit on relevant conspiracy posters. Non conspiracy news related posts get upvoted.

All the hard core conspiracy guys have since moved on...it's just.. meh.

Go and fucking make a new Reddit then, you see so many people on here bitching about how the site is run and nobody seems to do anything about it. Reddit is owned by a goddamn corporation, of course there's going to be censorship.

Reddit was designed like IRC. They provide the framework, but anyone can create a channel and run it how they want.

"Vote brigade" is always the excuse used when they want to remove a post. Zero proof is needed or provided when this excuse is used.

This explanations show how reddit works and how its rigged. You have mods give swarmy excuses then subs that purport to be unbiased, like SubredditDrama, just pound away with the plausible deniability ("hey, I don't know if I agree with the mod decision, but I can see why they don't want witch hunts") and scorn ("just start your own sub or leave").

It's very obvious how this works. Then they can control new subs by getting shills in the door.

Just checked out altnews and the top comments on this drama are very suspicious for people that are fed up with reddit's control.

don't bring up reddit's dirty laundry. It breaks rule 5.

I was reading that thread earlier and I remember seeing a comment where the guy linked the /r/MURICA thread or /r/bestof thread where they provided proof and surprise, surprise that got removed.

digg.com had a similar problem. Look at them now.

that subreddit is run and visited by every Obama loving idiot in this damn country. I tried to debate a few fucktards on how close we came to WWIII with China and Russia back in August and all I was called was a tinfoil-head and stupid shit for believing. Apparently basic political concepts don't work on severe-democrats.

It's sad that you think one side is worse than the other. They're both shit.

I blame Israel and every Zionist-loving freak out there. Most of the Israel-loving crazies come from the right, but at the same time Jews primarily lean left and "play" democrats. It's fucking ridiculous how they essentially control both parties in that manner. They're the real problem and easily the source of these crazy vote brigades, not to mention most everything that is wrong with this country, including foreign policy and the media.

You ever see a post about negative actions of Israel on TIL or another subreddit? That shit gets downvoted almost instantaneously, even if the post is a sensible and factual one. It's terrible.

The smartest people will be in the middle. Dipping their toes into both ends. Its the very nature of thinking for yourself and keeping your curiosity.

In the middle of the Democratic and Republican parties would place you far to the right on the politcal spectrum. Being left wing and despising the Democratic party is the only sensible option to combat the corporate elite.

Sound like a whining loser to me. Go back to Faux and Red State where you can get your propaganda with hot sauce.

The reddit business model works by collecting fees from various groups who want a license to use their marketing whores here. Basically this whole site is a big fucking payola scheme for power to purchase the right to post their propaganda.

The jailbait comment ended at 666.

r/news r/politics are run by jewish crooks

/r/politics is over. Reddit is nearly over.

Sad but true. The Newhouses and the plutocracy get their way.

It must be so boring over there!
