These "whaaa, my post was deleted /r/conspiracy" things usually have a perfectly reasonable reason.

As far as I know, these reports are pretty current. Definitely not something to be banned over.

How can you tell they were recent? He didn't even provide links, just headlines devoid of content.
-2 Jmf420 2013-03-05
I have seen reports on this subject from last weekend.
6 msingerman 2013-03-05
Oh, well in that case.
6 21007 2013-03-05
you were wrong to post anything but propaganda over there

Sorry, but I don't think aspartame counts as a "neurotoxin".
Now if it had been "Curare in Your Chocolate Milk?" you might have a point.
-6 Jmf420 2013-03-05
Aspartame is most definitely neurotoxin. Do some research.

Lies.
-2 Jmf420 2013-03-05
Wow, nice retort. Care to provide any evidence that supports your claim?
3 BipolarBear0 2013-03-05
I will!

Seems legit.

Oh noes. It can transcend the blood-brain barrier! Along with just about millions of other substances. Luckily I enjoy reading the repetitive phrases acquired by people of alternative belief systems.
I wonder if I should coat my weapons with it? How much would it take to have an effect, I wonder?

Do your thing. Keep drinking genetically modified e-coli feces.

Shit is in everything you eat, everything you eat, and everything you breath. Also, I think you've forgotten your body is both covered and infested with millions, if not billions, of bacterial organisms.

Not to be harsh on a veteran redditor. You been here 5 plus years and 180k karma link and you are still shocked by the shenanigans at r/news? Change your nickname to ripvanwinkle ;)

is r/conspiracy the new r/news ?
-2 tromix1 2013-03-05
r/news and r/politics are worthless.
Example, if RT runs an article, its immediately disregarded.
11 GlowingSun420 2013-03-05
RT is about as valuable as the Daily Mail
-7 sheasie 2013-03-05
i don't think that's a fair comparison at all. RT is more like HuffPost. It's got a little of everything, where as DM is just Murdoch - straight up.
9 AcuraMazda 2013-03-05
And RT is just the Kremlin - straight up.
2 Diallingwand 2013-03-05
DM isn't even owned by Murdoch.
-5 EndTyranny 2013-03-05
r/news and r/politics are owned. And the Reddit adminship has some subtle corruption here and there. The site is no longer all that free and open.
Also, the rules for banning are not uniform, truly just, or fully open. Reddit needs a Bill of Rights but it isn't going to get one. Instead of just deleting undesired submissions now, they ban people. And they ban people for one single post, it's a one-strike law sometimes if some admins don't like your politics. There's no openness and no recourse.
Added: gotta ask why a plea for evenness gets big downvotes. What agenda do the downvoters have?
-6 SovereignMan 2013-03-05
And r/worldnews too. Luckily, /r/worldpolitics is almost completely uncensored.
-10 Jmf420 2013-03-05
Maybe they just want mainstream sheeple news over there.
21 SyntheticLife 2013-03-05
Maybe people would take conspiracy theorists more seriously if they stopped calling anyone who doesn't agree with them "sheeple."
18 [deleted] 2013-03-05
quiet sheeple
9 [deleted] 2013-03-05
And if they stopped telling the sheeple to "wake up".
4 SitOnYou 2013-03-05
It's simple: Jmf420 is trying to damage our credibility.
3 Jmf420 2013-03-05
Yeah, that's it. What credibility is it that you speak of exactly?
1 martong93 2013-03-05
Accusing people of doing shit just to damage our name is kind of retarded. You're no better than the boy who cries shills!
-3 Jmf420 2013-03-05
It's the most politically correct term for people that get their news from mainstream Amurkian news outlets.
9 Shillmuybienpagados 2013-03-05
I'm not American and don't use mainstream media, I'm apparently still one of the "sheeple" because I don't believe there are some Jews somewhere that run the entire world via microwave laser mind control devices and secret messages encoded in hip hop videos.
It's a term you apply to anyone that doesn't buy into your interpretation of reality, as you /r/conspiracy folk espouse the values of critical thinking and the dangers represented by use of NLP, you should be fully aware of the restrictions to discourse you're entering into by the use of such "labelling".
