A better idea would be to add some kind of medal/symbol/banner upon their username. With tiers as well, the more they shill the more advanced they get in the shill tier , like normal shill, cia shill, ccp shill etc. When they create new posts their shill status would say with them, so we know who it is posting.
Even when they add a lot of bots to win the shill system at least the good guys can post and see other posts.
When the shilling gets to hard then the accounts can get terminated.
I think something like this would be great.... two medals that can awarded to a post “misinfo” and “insightful” or maybe more than just those (“funny”, “breaking news”, whatever) but the point being that the community designates trustworthy and untrustworthy members.
And you can’t give a “medal” unless you’ve hit some post/comment/karma threshold, and after a ban your bestowed medals are removed from whoever you gave them to, to avoid botting
Yeah , the threshold for karma to give medals is a very good idea. It will make their job harder and they would have to post and like their own posts a lot.
Because that would take a stupid amount of time to deal with toxic asshats from leddit that just come here to troll. Better to just ban them and move on. They'll just create another account anyway.
Axo should serve an administrative role and nor directly moderate as much.
Why? As it is right now, it's me and Axo doing the moderating. We have doggos as top mod, but they're basically uninvolved (with modding) .win admin protecting the .win network.
The r/conspiracy mod team was far too insulated and it just made it seem like a cabal
Reddit's "conspiracy" sub became an "acceptable alt-speak that we kind of put up with" with a huge dose of "We need to change the narrative on the front page of the sub - stat!"
A conspiracy site that MUTES CONSPIRACIES - that's a fucking huge massive red flag.
I suggest all conspiracy posts should be automatically BELEIVED by members and then whatever evidence can be found should be posted.
Real shit is likely going to have a lot of back-up information, lots of cross-linked facts and so on.
A fake "tin foil hat" conspiracy (a proper bullshit one) - won't have fuck all supporting info...
ANYONE who posts "This conspiracy is bullshit because this page here says so...." is silencing the investigation, and is how the public think en-masse... and how people stay tricked.
Reddit conspiracy was full of that shit. Legit conspiracies were getting sidelined, and silenced by a massive SPAMMING of "this site here says it's fake!"
...... but a bit of brain-work for people is needed, if "JaneDoe killed X with a knife" is the conspiracy, and there's several photos of JaneDoe at some night out where the date and time's on a clock in the image, or something like that - that's relevant. Just not sites that hand-wave shit away with vague denials.
I hear you and agree. I spent years learning how to deal with these people, and I'm not gonna let them take this space.
Don't you think it's time we (as a community) come up with an ethos and outline rules for the side bar?

+1 for a purple heart if youve been reddit banned on bullshit charges

I like this approach.

What do you suggest?

Couldn't agree more.
So, is your suggestion to add more mods?
hello, mod.
my reddit ptsd says to not trust you... but i digress.
remove the downvote on posts.
let us minions take care of the comments.
Please!
Let the conspiracies flourish!

IF THE AUTIST HAS A POOR ARGUMENT, GHOST THEM.
eventually, w/o the attention, theyll go fuck off to another forum to bait.
you cheeky bastard.
