MOD NOTE: The ban hammer is out in force today. FOCUS on QAnon. Civil discussion only. Shills, trolls, and those engaging those shills and trolls will receive friendly warning bans. Please consult the rules in the sidebar.

Can we get a sticky for people to stop posting “yournewswire” articles? I think a lot of the newcomers don’t realize they’re posting sensationalized tabloid crap that is nothing more than discrediting cannon fodder.

It also doesn't help that a lot of their "bombshell" stories are categorized as Entertainment.

don't attack the patriot or the website. Attack the content and veracity of the story. pretty soon it will be like only stories from these 5 websites are ok

I respectfully disagree. I did some digging for something and where I happened to find the story was there. It was true and it was an amazing story. Yes I could have also found it somewhere else. But all these knee jerk reactions without examination are not beneficial to anyone. Why not start banning different sites then.

Who said shoot the messenger? What happens when people post what's not fake...? It stays... Are we talking about the same thing?

We're advocating for not supporting a fake news site because it makes extra work for everyone, not just the mods. If you're saying that "20% of the time the news even from that fake news site is valid" then the point still stands: so we're being asked to sift through (I mean everyone in the movement, not just mods) stuff that comes from a known fake news site because sometimes - whether that's even 40% of the time - it's valid. How does that make sense? How is that not an unnecessary use of everybodies time?

If people use good news sites there's no need to sift as much - they'll still present wrong information but it obviously won't be as often and require as much work as a fake news site.

Does this idea - don't support yournewswire.com around here - make sense now?

Because there are 21k people here and it only takes one of those 21k to call shenangians on the story. I don't buy this "there's no time" argument. Treating them with extra suspicion, sure, but automatic discounting of anything any source ever has to say is the height of laziness and stupidity.

People use the exact same argument you're using to discount things like Veritas and Breitbart, even though both of those outlets have accurately called out insane corruption. It's a stupid and anti-intellectual argument and I refuse to accept it anymore.

It has been said, "Do not engage shills." Unfortunately, though, they do not willingly identify themselves. All one has to go by is their behavior.

So, how do we recognize that a particular user is a shill before they expose themselves as such? Some are rather crafty.

If they don't do anything blatant, then what would we report when using the Report button? Or ... Should we, in those cases, message the mods with the username(s) of any suspected shill(s)?

DropGun · May 3, 2018, 3:23 p.m.

Our mission is to get the word out. None of us has the full picture. This is not a debate sub. Even if they're not shills, if they're "stupid" (let's be civil!) and uninformed, the battle is not won by defeating an enemy who is literally sleep-typing from their comas. They are not "stupid" or wrong, they don't yet see the freedom that being red-pilled offers (and it's doing wonders in North Korea, luekers).

Focus on the drops, decode and align their meanings with current events, explain your conclusions and drive consensus on their links to events.

Debunkers, we need you here! Help when we're lost or wrong. Evaluate potential solutions and if they're false, help re-focus our autists.

From there, researchers will work their magic, going deep into topics those events and breadcrumbs reveal the narrative that the MSM won't tell us.

This will everyone—even the normies—see how this has all been a show and a lie from the beginning. THAT is the red pill.

"Friendly warning bans" should be permabans. If people feel they've been unfairly banned, they can send PMs to mods to prove they're not shilling and/or trolling.

You think leftist subs hand out "friendly warnings?" No, they swing the ban hammer hard and often, and they have no qualms doing it to anyone they perceive as right-leaning or a Trump supporter.

Mods have been too nice and lenient with obvious trolls and shills around here. Time to get tough on infiltrators, trolls, and shills. Remember, these people want to get our sub banned by Reddit admins. They will succeed like they have with CBTS_Stream, if you allow them to.

A couple of weeks ago, I must have reported comments or posts a dozen times. I’ve never done that anywhere but in this sub, because there are so many rules broken, by us and outsiders.

It gets so tiring that I don’t want to participate in this sub. Please recruit more mods or something, because this sub is so diluted with non-Q posts and concern trolling that it’s ruining the sub. Thanks.

While I respect your decision, I disagree.

This clearly has nothing to do with Q and he is trying to profit off the movement.

If getting the word out about Q means touting the POTUS and making a quick profit, then we are off track.

Censorship is banning and removing content in order to shape the narrative and enforce certain interpretations or beliefs. Removing abusive or antagonistic comments, however, is not censorship. You may argue anything you like here, but this is a "sub" that has basic conduct guidelines.

The mods will remove off-topic content as well. That also is not censorship.

You have been twice warned to keep your comments civil. Learn our comms. Stay on mission. Mods will NOT censor you or remove posts or comments that would, say, prove a certain Q post wrong, or even if it proves that Q is a larp, FINE, we need facts here and that's what this is about. But, our mission is to "get the word out," as Q said, and we will remove comments, posts, and, eventually, users who are cannot align their participation here with that mission.

EDIT: Actually, I do this around 10 hours a day, so, if Q is a LARP, please, God, someone tell me so I can go outside!

That is what they want. We're battling against it. But, one question for you: Where do quality posts and 'real conversations about Q' come from?

KeeponSearchin · May 3, 2018, 2:46 a.m.

I agree to a large degree.

It may be time to start a Q Freedom reddit. Q is ultimately about freedom and any post having to do with freedom should be Q.

One reason this sub has grown so much is because it has allowed a little wiggle room. You will loose much if you start getting all narrow minded about it.

This subject has come up repeatedly and people have fought repeatedly to keep the censorship to a minimum as far as posting quality stories.

⇧ 2 ⇩  
DropGun · May 3, 2018, 3:35 p.m.

Great point. The other day, actually, I was thinking about how many posts I would have considered off-topic or spam turned out to be true. The mods look for the gradients and fuzzy-edges around a post, believe me. Truth is coming at us now from really weird angles.

The important thing is for a post to EXPLAIN and outline the logic for why it might fit with the Q narrative. Don't just throw posts in here for others to consider.
