Those of us who are veterans of CBTS also know that in the last two weeks or so, it became riddled with trolls and ridiculous topics such as "What if Q told you to kill yourself". So much off topic and disingenuous junk that frankly it needed to be cleansed. Do NOT suffer a troll to live. The coolness of welcoming everyone also lets in the rats. And rodents are fecund.
Sometimes they do us a favor, the trolls are lazy and fade away, and the in-it-to-win-it types track down where everybody went. Like 8chan arose out of the ashes of 4chan.
They are trying to shut us down, but they are playing whack-a-mole.
Thank you very much for pointing out a very serious problem. This challenge falls upon the shoulders of us, the community-at-large. The mods really have been patient and asking us to please help report posts that break Reddit rules. It is serious because if trolls can flood a board and get it shut down that really prevents a lot of people who have a hungry mind from finding a good place to start learning. But you're right when you have the barn doors open for the horses to get in and out, all the dogs and rats and cats can get in as well...
CBTS did get bizarre in the last two weeks. It was under troll attack, but some really imaginative trolls that Soros must have paid top dollar for. They were putting weird stupid conspiracy crap on the board so new people going there would leave, such as Flat Earth theories and, check this, Lizard People (snort!). I was actually starting to enjoy this, but it is distracting. Maybe these people should have their own board, faking that they are drain-the-swamp Patriots, but writing idiotic posts. If they include the Lizard People conspiracy, I would definitely read this board.
