5 hours of conspiracy posts scrubbed.

1  2018-05-31 by ghostofpedro

I typically sort r/conspiracy by new to browse. In my mind this is the best way to see topics before they disappear.

Today when I sorted I noticed that there is a huge gap in time. Between 11 hours and 16 hours ago nothing remains posted. Check it for yourself.

Does anyone know what was posted between those hours that was so offensive/explosive that they had to remove all threads for a 5 hour block?

39 comments

This forum is so controlled and manipulated now - even the shills cannot deny it anymore.

A 5 hour thread wipe is so glaring and obvious. Any idea what they were trying to scrub?

Not sure. Good question honestly.

I notice tons of manipulation with the votes, too.

Information is powerful.

Possibly about a very popular member here that was caught ban evading and threatening to dox people?

Can you provide any more details?

Can you show us what was scrubbed?

Sorry I can't. This is my first time today visiting r/conspiracy. All I know is that there is not an hour that goes by without at least 1 new thread let alone 5 hours with no threads.

It's your first time here and you know that posts are scrubbed?

Read what he said again

I just read it. He said it is his first time visiting but he knows how many things get posted in a typical five hour period. How would he know this if he has not visited here before?

In the op:

I typically sort

He said he's been here before lol

He edited his post and removed the "first time I've visited" part.

I believe what he was saying was that if there was a 5 hour gap where if you checked new that there seemed to be zero posts showing up. Not that there were none compared to normal

Please read my post again. It's my first time visiting today.Thus I can't figure out what has been scrubbed. I come here usually multiple times a day and have been doing so for years.

Funny that

go here and scroll down.all the red highlighted threads are the removed ones.

there doesn't seem to be much of interest. i think the sub's just dead lately

Jeez. Mods really cleaning house last day or two. Does that site only show the last couple of days? I'm on mobile and it showed they haven't deleted owt like 4, 5, 6, 7 days ago but went hard last few days, is that right?

i think most of them were auto removed by conbot for having no SS

not sure how far back it tracks, I'm on mobile too and just see what you see. it does take a while to gather the removed data for me sometimes

And it looms like another person saying he had his post removed was because it was a meme. Thank you for the link!

no worries. for future reference if you ever want to see what has been deleted just replace "reddit" in the URL with "ceddit" or "removeddit", it works in all subs as far as I'm aware

Wicked! Cheers dude!

Funny because two days ago was the most interesting day vie seen on here.

I see a jump from 12-16 hours ago. So four hour gap for me...that would have been at about 4:30am-8:30am pst. Maybe reddit was having maintenance or something?

Yes, that's the gap I see too. No idea what caused it, but it wasn't the mods spring cleaning.

Like I said, the posts from my gap were posts that were rightfully removed. 3 had no SS's and 1 was a meme.

They removed my post about Trump's "special" love for Ivanka and his very close friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. I guess we are not allowed to talk about Trump's special "hobbies".

I just looked at your removed post in the link provided by another user and it was a meme and this sub has a rule (8?) against memes .

It doesn't matter, it's just Reddit. Not every picture with text is a meme.

This is a meme :

This isn't :

I just read the rules and the rules say no memes.

Maybe the rules could be clearer on what is and isn't a meme?

That was clearly a meme.

I'm not arguing it wasn't. It just seems that it may not be clear to some users what images do and do not fall into that category based on this conversation.

I just want to say that I have been frequenting this sub for years, over a number of accounts, and don't ever remember an issue with censorship. Sure, posts that break the rules have been removed, but the rules here are pretty liberal in comparison to many other subs.

I can also see that more posts have been removed since the SS rule was put into effect, but that is a rule that a large portion of the community was asking for for a long time because of all the spam posts that lacked any context or obvious reason for it being posted in a conspiracy sub, and I for one am happy that the mods here are enforcing it.

Agree, the submissions statement requirement has greatly reduced shitposts and forum sliding (at least somewhat).

Sadly, this sub is no longer for the free thinker. It's for the mods. They can push any idea and delete any thing they don't like. Just you watch, I bet this comment or even this thread gets scrubbed.

Rule 13 is being used to censor posts that the moderators or, perhaps, admins don't agree with. The way it was explained to me is that we are not supposed to post news articles that can be construed as pushing an unapproved agenda.

/r/worldnews2, here we come....

They scrubbed shills thread and shills complaining to make the mods look bad. Wont fall for this.
