Below is a direct message I have received from the above user.
(Copied to a number of mods:) I'd like your help as a trusted mod on the sitewide question of banning disreputable communities. I've proposed to u/C that the question is too important to limit to admin input alone, and that a transparent decision to ban would best be supported by community leaders acting formally so as to ensure circumspection and broad membership support. Since I've learned with C that "no news" means good news, I'm proceeding forward, and inviting you to participate in discussion in a new Scored forum shortly to open up (currently locked) at c/ReputationCampaign.
Please read the following proposed draft of the forum's welcome sticky: if you're willing to be part of such a panel to provide recommendations to the admins on this important community question, submitted for their approval, please let me know by Feb 28. By that time I will open and facilitate discussion toward conclusions (if any) on this question.
I've haphazardly sent this message to those qualified as described below and with whom I've had sufficient experience. I will try to reach the majority of qualified mods, but please pass this message on to other mods that you trust as well. Please write back if you want to have an active part in the discussion.
Volunteer Committee on Reputation Campaigns
This forum serves as a semiformal assembly of experienced moderators constituted for a primary purpose of analyzing the reputation-campaign clause of the Scored content policy. The moderators listed here are the so-far confirmed volunteer members of this panel assembly, and anyone else is free to comment on point as well. (Any use of moderator tools will be discretionarily applied, primarily to facilitate and maintain orderly discussion without disruption.)
The purpose of this assembly is to discuss and report on the question: "What should be the interpretation and case-use applications of the reputation-campaign rule of Scored content policy as informing a deletion of any entire Scored community?" Secondarily, the assembly may consider specific instances of any Scored community that has been publicly suggested by multiple testimonies as a test of this rule, or other interpretative policy issues.
Past admin comments indicate that any hypothetical community ban must be conducted with transparency at all levels: this suggests the initial stance that it should never occur except after a firm conclusion broadly held by a constituted panel, such as these volunteers. In this way an errant community is met, not by individuals acting alone, but by a proactively built leadership community in broad agreement. It is intended that this panel could then report its recommendations to the admin board, submitted for their approval, as the entire Scored population's formal voice through their societally delegated moderators. Final decisions would rest with the admins.
All moderators listed in the sidebar will have equal voice on the panel, along with any others that volunteer and meet the same base qualifications as follows. Anyone who has at least 1000 total Scores, has at least 3 months' activity, and is the moderator of a forum created Jan 2022 or earlier can contact the facilitator, SwampRangers, to be included on the panel. Reasonable attempt to contact all qualifying parties has been made. It is hoped that conclusions will be met with unanimity or broad consensus, but some votes may be taken among panel members to establish a record.
The motivation for this forum is to establish means by which every community member, and leaders in particular, can participate in a decision that affects the host's reputation and thus everyone. Admins are keenly aware of the probability of bad-faith forum creation, and of their need to remain at arm's length about determining what constitutes bad faith. Bad faith should never be assumed, but should only be concluded by a deliberative participatory process. The ReputationCampaign forum allows volunteer leaders to take this burden off the admins transparently and with the implicit support of the broad membership. The difficult decision to ban a community should never be engaged without leadership having the benefit of full consultation with those lower in chain of command. The structure was inspired by the similarity between the Content Policy hypothetical case and that of the orderly advice of Deuteronomy 13:12-18.
Comments in this thread will be an open discussion on the forum purpose. For orderliness, other than panel moderators, contributors should generally not start new posts in this forum except by prior permission from a panel moderator. Nondisruptive commenting will generally remain free.
Well, after the recent mass infiltration of new communities obviously created to bring this site down, there needs to be strong action. But action by consensus over valid causes, not the reddit at-whim of a soyboy type of banning.
There is a particular religion that mounts such attacks and we do need to clamp down what is not free speech but is 'by deception shalt thou do war'. It is so apparent when looking at the /niggers sub for example that someone is out to create disorder to bring down a venue of true free speech. So many of the new subs are about hate, and this site is not fundamentally about hate but about true free speech.
But on any new 'mechanisms', let us have checks and balances if possible, so as to prevent dictators emerging.
Wasn't it the user u/SwampRangers that did much of that?
Now that you pointed that, yipes, yes. Now I see that as the creator of the disruptive subs he is additionally trying to do a massive effort to gain a lot of control and power. This is what JCM did on Reddit, and it is something that has to be prevented.
'ReputationCampaign' control? Shades of the Chinese police state. I can see this is a second prong of a multipronged attack on .win. May not be an amateur campaign, if you get my drift.
This oh-so-earnest troll says "Admins are keenly aware of the probability of bad-faith forum creation, and of their need to remain at arm's length about determining what constitutes bad faith." --- their NEED to stay off it? Bullshit. SwampRangers is trying to demand 'admins stay away, --I-- want to run things'.
Admins, please step in and do what you can to stop the power grab.
Things I do not understand - how did conspiracies subs get shifted to link to scored.com? How is it subs like /niggers and /nazi and the rest reside there? When I research that site it comes up as for sale? WTF is going on here? What is the deep connection to ConsumeProduct? It's looking like an insider has engineered this - was there an infiltrator with power? Did someone like the Israelis hack an admin password?
We need more than a single admin to step in so there can be control in case one admin has been hacked.
Finally. SwampRanger's posted comments violate the terms of service of scored.com as follows:
"Behavior
... the following behavior is not welcome:
SwampRanger's message violates the last clause on scored TOS. And I bet that alt names like that Panzer guy belong to him too as part of the whole scheme.
Could you elaborate on JCM's operation on Reddit?
EDIT: Perhaps start by explaining what JCM is. Please see my post:
Methods to thwart the conspiracy to marginalize us with terrorism and hate speech: Part 1 https://conspiracies.win/p/141rsptd4c/methods-to-thwart-the-conspiracy/
I don't trust any one here. I don't support Reputation Campaign which seems pretty clearly a route to power and control.
As for JCM the neocon, no, I'm not going to waste time exploring his sordid history. And in fact if you or Swamp are him or work for him we know where this is going.
I have always suspected that TheDonald has been run as controlled opposition until the right time for its owners to turn it into a Reddit. Now that Truth Social is ready, that will pull the rug from under The Donald.

Thank you, but I can assure you I work alone and only as the servant of Christ and a volunteer of SwampRangers.com. I have created zero disruptive subs, although the way in which the handshake OP published my private message to mods only, proving he is an alt, required me to respond by going public immediately rather than next week, allowing some to charge ReputationCampaign with disruption. But my distinction from folks like u/Panzerfaust will be known by my actions.
Thank you for your analysis and your Reddit account experience (which I don't have). I trust that by announcing all my communities in advance as self-determining I have indicated my intent to give the namespace to the community as it self-organizes; this is the same pattern the admins have followed about new community names that should be reserved; in particular Shithole and JOGGERS come to mind, and to a degree NoNewNormal was reserved by the admins until recently given to a slate of mods.
Here is C's quote I referred to, about "reluctance to 'own' that problem, no matter how obvious". Reading this was a primary impetus for me to propose direction, at the pleasure of the community and the admins, for this vacuum to be filled by orderly processes in the same way that I proposed direction for controversial namespaces to be filled. I knew this might class me in some first glances as being identical to those who immediately posted porn or Nazi sentiment, but I took that risk; again, check my actions.
On the conspiracy side I'd be happy to join you in research as I'm finding things out on my own too. I learned that Communities LLC (formerly Patriots LLC) was being formed independently without direct reference to r/TheDonald, and that TheDonald and ConsumeProduct were their first two big migrations to a website that also wanted pictures of cats but got hardly any. /Niggers is someone's attempt at pro-racism, /Nazi and /NWord are both my attempts at neutral discussion of the topics. It would be fascinating if anyone's actions, including mine, could have been predicted or persuaded unknown by some third party to create crises like we saw yesterday; it seems more likely to me that both Rdrama and SubvertRangers were uncoordinated and both arose on the same day due to their proximity to the rebrand.
C also said in my scroll, "there has been no change in ownership (ever - not partial or majority)". Actions support that.
Finally, I am in no way calling for nonviolators to be penalized. I am providing a formal process, which the community is free to reject or provide alternatives for, by which violations can be judged with the support of a consensus of users. The idea that a transparent representative process would result in recommendations contrary to the mass consensus of users would indeed be a call for penalties to what are nonviolating communities in the majority's eyes, and there is no intent for that to happen at all. The free speech by which you analyze this is an important safeguard of this. I encourage you to submit your thoughts to c/ReputationCampaign. Please feel free to start your own post there, although due to the forum rules on order I would ask you to include the statement that I specifically invited you to post, so others will recognize that fact.
