Since 2021-01-01 Swamp Rangers is a confederation of individuals who are monitoring the swamp and working for the removal of swamp creatures from having power. I'm just one of the more vocal ones.
I have no association with anyone else on Conspiracies. I'm not trolling, my content is positive, as you acknowledged earlier this month with your effusive praise of me. You turned on at least one other user who, like me, pointed out he was here much longer than you and who has the community's interests at heart, and who doesn't make what the last mod called bullying meta posts.
Nobody is talking about electing me as mod except you; I stopped talking about it three weeks ago, and I documented that I only talked about it because of your encouragement that if we don't fix the lack of mods, who will.
I will add to this comment about the specifics in your graphic.
Yes, I created forums for discussing all views on various topics when there was a landrush of names in 2022-02, and I accepted the risks of misunderstanding about my choice to claim controversial names for evangelistic purposes. Yes, that same post announced that I might use an alt for counterpoint purposes, which always admits being a doppelganger of myself and is never used for manipulation, which is in accord with policy on doppelgangers.
Yes, u/MaryMagicPie offered me the moderation of two communities she had started when she decided to leave Scored. I did not immediately delete the Progress Pride Flag from the one site because I understood her intent for it, but when it was pointed out that her intent was not clear I deleted it. I explained the mistakes in your link here, explained the reasons for first retaining and then deleting the flag here, and explained how Mary's rules were to be interpreted here.
Yes, I appreciate the earned media for the Swamp Rangers organization. You are free to sign up there.
I have a few communities, but didn't create one for conspiracies specifically because of this one. My taking the names c/FlatEarth, c/Nazi, and c/Holocaust has not resulted in much. Right now the new c/4thHorsemanNews by u/Tetartos_Ippeas is having a great debut for conspiracies and we could cross-pollinate in either direction.
You say you made 3 but you give up on your ego and promote a 4th one - not done by you... Respect for that! Honestly! I will visit them all, we need to expand! Hope others visit them too! ...
You see collaboration and you work for it. I cast my vote for you as moderator of c/Conspiracies! To me, you have proven that you left your ego behind and you want to accomplish the goal of the community. That does come with challenges from shills that would want to break you, but I know you're better than me, so I cast my vote firmly towards a person that is able to defend his position and leave his ego - you! You didn't have to prove your worth, but you did it anyway, for the best of this community. I really hope you can help us forward!
I hope we can vote for a moderator from this point on, so we can finalize it in a week. Anyone can cast their own votes. It's fine, if you vote for yourself even.
Without acknowledging your characterization, I wonder what you propose we do instead, Guy? If nothing, that's already being done, so there's no need to pile on.
Well, I'd tentatively agree with that. But to define sliding requires knowing what's being slid from. I've been affirming and objectifying the sidebar rules so I'm not sliding from that and I don't know what else I'd be accused of sliding from. I posted a couple posts from a Christian perspective (not obsessively like some); that is one of the perspectives here, and they're faring well. When I pointed out there were no mods, I apologized for my announcement tempting forum sliders out of the woodwork, but that would've happened anyway sooner or later, and we're accommodating the influx pretty well as unmoderated communities go. So if you think I'm sliding I appreciate your saying directly what to stop.

Aside from your backing out of your raving endorsement of me as mod of Conspiracies and your forgetting that I told you all this already and everyone who clicks my name knows it, nobody cares.
Obviously your begging for it on a site who was previously pretty united and doing well has done

except cause DIVISIO and INFIGHTING.

There's always a need to pile on forum sliders, that's the only way to survive without mods for any amount of time.
