im thankful i missed all the drama. lol.

im very new to this sub, and the drama really turned me off. i mean you come to a controversial subreddit and what you see is pages of what most would consider -guild drama - not a good start.

nvm I get it. Keyword guild.

im here to read conspiracies sir.

Dude you literallly went throught that thread you made about the rule change and removed every disenting post made. You are fucking idiot. Simply put you are mod of a conspiracy forum that deletes shit you dont like. congrats.

[deleted]

Why would I come here and remove you if there was not an serious issue.

Just out of the blue one day I decided to just be an asshole now in fact your a dumbass mod who was removing things that disagreed with you. I AM SORRY BUT THATS BULLSHIT.

Nice gibberish.

I've been here for about a year,and you're the only one I've seen from the mod team...so thanks

Seriously, downvotes for thanking the person who actually moderates and bans trolls WTF?

And anyone who doesn't have a 30 day old account.

[deleted]

As much as 1%? I doubt it. No one registers then heads straight to /r/conspiracy - unless they're a shill.

Thank you so much, shill. Your loud protests all over, and over and over, remind me of something Shakespeare said: "Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much." And your subtly flawed arguments are slick, I'll grant you that. Good enough to sway the sheep certainly.

It's very interesting that criticizing you gets so many hits within minutes. It's like the Corleone conspiratards angrily saying "hey, you donta criticize onna da family." You have speed dial or something?

Thanks for proving me right.

If your going to put quotations around something, make sure it's accurate.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Also, the phrase's actual meaning is, "I think the lady is promising too much." The phrase has come to mean that one can "insist so passionately about something not being true that people suspect the opposite of what one is saying."

Irony

get yourself to a nun, hurry

How is that promising? The phrase is about protest.

I yield to proper punctuation.

Never saw so much hate for accuracy!

Gaaah the shill paranoia

Ever since I was accused of being a shill (after spending a good 6 years hard at work researching and informing friends, looking hard to question authority and see past projected lies), it has been hard for me to think this entire sub is mature. Both sides that I've observed have a few ridiculous breaks from logic, and perhaps there are actually sponsored info derangers left and right--but false accusations will surely hurt more than is worth a handful of accurate accusations.

Your comment history looks pretty believable and not shillish, But some of the others show persistent histories of trying to drag subs off focus. The guy I'm looking at tries hard to appear reasonable but he uses subtle flawed logic in a very shillish way. It also doesn't help his case when I get 15 downvotes in a short time in the middle of the night for criticising him. That reeks of brigade and being a member of their team. And that is why I criticize his protestations of innocence.

Right--I'm not saying I haven't seen suspicious shit, and the temptation to call out shill does grab me from time to time...All I'm saying is to use care, impressionism is a bitch especially when newcomers are easily swayed away from emotional people who happen to be emotional for the right reasons, and feel more confident in an unemotional twat for lawling at you after a few clever psuedo-logical remarks--yadig?

Yeah, I have no bones with you and you seem to have a good head on you.

My word, was it because I said twat?! I am seeing what you mean about brigade, people rarely go so deep into a thread for downvoting. Should have just stuck to calling /r/conspiracy paranoid--seems to be all that gets upvoted now O.o

Also funny is how once its realized that I might actually believe in the possibility that shills exist my first point's value is somehow negated.

Reddit's childish nature is getting pretty fuckin old... Its like an internet version of middleschool.

I was chagrined to see you got hammered so much, as what you said made decent sense. But yesterday there were waves of people from a specific crowd and they went through here hitting everyone who was not them, and raising their members up. If anything shows that hypotheses about manipulation are true, that does.

I can only shake my head to see that they went through my comments and took me down 100 points, I expect it was to teach me a lesson or tell me to shut up. On the contrary, I will speak up all the more

You are getting down voted because to the casual reader, your wild accusations of shilling are cringe worthy.

He just replied and then deleted his comment before I could respond. Fortunately Chrome saved it, its a real gem:

Uh, 29 downvotes in the middle of the night by cringing 'casual readers', sure, sure. That's a nice fairy tale.

I don't think he realises reddit is available outside the US, its half 11 in the morning where I'm at.

I had reposted it immediately with its past comments plus my new ones.

So, which one of the Conspiratard crew are you really?

Uh, 29 downvotes in the middle of the night by cringing 'casual readers', sure, sure. That's a nice fairytale. This post by sins is thinly trafficked, except by the ctard crowd and very few others.

Added: and 3 downvotes instantly on this at 4 AM. That happens all the time to everybody. Yeah, it's all only casual visitors. Save this for the bedtime story for the kids.

Reddit is an international website and I think the consensus from the previous sins thread was that he got owned and put in his place.

Honestly I'm sure its easier for you to believe its some big conspiracy where shillbots assemble to see to it that your comments are personally downvoted cos they can't stand you getting that truth out, man.. But in reality you are getting negged to oblivion because you come across as an overly paranoid kook, you are cringe worthy and embarrassing to read.

Nice try. No cookie. You're pretty obvious.

Added: so you're claiming a bunch of people around the globe paid special attention to a post asking for thanks to mod Mr Dong, and they all happened to very massively downvote a commenter talking about a shill candidate, because he's cringe worthy to them.

Yeah, that story's as good as a space fantasy with a Tardis.

EndTyranny, redditor for 2 months.

You do realise that not everyone who disagrees with you is a shill right?

I don't believe you are serious. It looks to me that you're an obvious plant. You know how I can tell? Your statements are so idiotic and your paranoia so over cooked that you are actually harming the conspiracy movement and undermining what could prove to be legitimate claims if outside influence.

You forgot to insult my mother and drool froth on your shoes. So now you declare I'm a member of the Conspiracy Movement, whatever that is. Pray tell what is that? Do I get a membership card? Do I get discounts at the Conspiracy grocery store?

Do you get paid for this? Because you're terribly ineffective at it, Go home Dim, you're drunk.

Oh balls, you got me. I am foibled and will have to cease using this 6 year account. Before I close it down though, I might as well spill the beans on this whole game.

Thus is what's called the long con... 6 years ago when reddit was in its infancy I was approached by a mysterious group (I think they were time lords, existing in hyper spatial space) they told me that in the future a man named EndTyranny will attempt to spread truth across the internet and that this must not come to happen (I guess they'd seen the future). They gave me a computer and a hundred shekels and told me to bide my time.. For 6 years I waited, posting links and occasionally commenting, pretending to be just another redditor.. Then, last night, everything changed... My employers visited me again and told me in no uncertain terms that it was GO time. My years of training and living under the radar came to a head when you posted your shill accusation on this thread. I immediately down voted you for calling out my colleague.. If he was exposed then he wouldn't get paid, and lord knows those shekels spend easily. I engaged you in debate but alas you saw through my lies and exposed the sockbot within. The only thing I fear more than a final visit from the time lords is not getting those sweet, sweet shekels.. They were really sweet.

Please do not denigrate Jewish people by dragging shekels into this and mocking someone by using Israeli currency in your satire. Are you some kind of anti-semite? Besides, you're paid in pounds sterling, perhaps. Or Euros. Hey, if it's gold or uncut diamonds, How can I get on the payroll?

Aslo don't mock the Doctor. He and I have been drinking buddies for 300 years. I knew you were a Dalek as soon as I heard you say "Exterminate!" Can't fool me, no way.

You mean trolls as in "people who disagree with me"?

troll

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

I'd buy you a beer but have this upvote instead!

You created this drama. If you had disabled voting and been more vigilant as mods instead, it would have been better than effectively gagging new account holders and encouraging long-term accounts belonging to shills and karma farmers.

But you did the divide and conquer thing quite well, congratulations. It's always good to know who's who and what they stand for.

[deleted]

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Then you'd have to go directly into someone's comment history to upvote/downvote. If you're so concerned about exposing shills, then it would be interesting to see who was still getting upvotes despite that, wouldn't it? Trolls are easily taken care of with vigilant moderating.

Yes, it'd work, and the bonus is that you're not gagging new account holders and keep on encouraging the free exchange of respectful, independent thought.

And as for encouraging long-term accounts belonging to shills and karma farmers, what evidence do you have that this would be the case?

Christ on a pony, karmanaut, davidreiss666, violentacrez, Mind_Virus, any of them ring a bell?

[deleted]

You have to admit this is one bat shit insane subreddit

Wow, the mod is deleting all of their comments. /u/donbueno was right about this one.

I appreciated it!

thats what i like to hear. its good to meet you, well 'internet meet' at the very least. i hope i enjoy the subreddit.

What

Happened?

long story short: trolls from 4chan, /r/circlejerk, /r/conspiratard flooded /r/conspiracy, few days ago mod 9000sins enacted a new 30-day quarantine for every new subscriber of this sub. Mod donbueno, who hasn't been active for some months, decided to drop by and delete every single modder, and disable the enacted rule.

Now peace rules over /r/conspiracy-land and everything is back to order along with the modders

The End

Lol... Sry to put you through that, while you were writing I was catching up on everything you were writing

Aint that the usual

Where does Mr.Dong fit in?

Thank you for being one of the few people to combat the shills on this sub.

[deleted]

Butt hurt?

E komo mai bruddah! Hawaiian for welcome back in.

Did you just compare moderating a subreddit to raising a child?

What's wrong with that? It's not like he said "It's the same as raising a child," which it isn't. He said "It's like raising a child," and in a lot of ways, it is.

RandsFoodStamps probably thinks its some kind of antisemitic code or something.

It's a figure of speech ^calmdown

Seeing every comment in this post down voted to 0 except the trolls talking shit makes me think the quarantine was a great idea.

I was thinking the same thing...

Yea I just got downvoted to hell for my small tribute comment - it's getting shilly as hell in here

[deleted]

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear type of thinking.

Behind the quarantine idea 100% over here.

What a fucking joke.

You don't seem very nice.

EDIT: Comment in question removed, downvotes continue. Welcome, (/r/)conspiratards! We are so happy to have you. Sort of. Not really. Tea?

[deleted]

So valid, it's now deleted.

This was your first comment in 2 months of being here? Wow, I feel so honored to have been chosen. May you have the best First Comment Day EVAR! Welcome to Reddit, friend.

No idea what is going on here

Mr. dong made a rule that accounts under 30 days could not comment The shills went nuts and started a rebellion. Mr. Dong is no more.

Thanks Mr.Dong.

Good work 9000sins.

[deleted]

Makes me sick the comments already here, I've left a personal thank you to Mr Dong already. Hopefully he read it before deleting. When I was new to this sub I made some mistakes and had some questions. Mr Dong put me on the right track and answered my questions with thought out answers, damn shame he has deleted he had some of the best submissions.

Yeah, really cool dude. He helped me when I was starting out my sub and always gave great insights.

I feel like towlie because I have NO idea whats goin on right now...

RIP Mr. Dong. I really appreciated your input - you will be missed.

hey now - the more you downvote me THE MORE YOU KNOW IT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN YOU SHILL MUTHAFUCKAS

Hey...its you. Welcome back.

I have no problems with limiting free speech on an internet forum to those who are adults and those who were acting as mature adults. Children and those who act like children should be moderated and moderated heavily. These topics are open for discussion not a bunch of shit slinging

Now we need a reddit request to add logic to detect and counter serial down voting on one person without regards to comments.

If the reddit owners don't want reddit to go the way of DIGG, they'll have to get creative to weed out the shills. My wish list is a blue/red pill option to allow personal rating systems so that if I downvote or upvote, it changes only my view of reddit and those who voted the same as I did. If the shills down vote you, then they'll be the only ones who will see less of your comments. The shills can have their matrix, and we'll create ours.

Very organized effort, comments under this post were under deliberate attack last night. Anti shill comments got banged down, pro shill raised. This was Mob action. They're still active on it today too.

This very comment right on the organization got downvoted immediately. Feels like they must have assigned at least one man to this specific post/threads to constantly monitor it.

[deleted]

I don't really care about karma.

Then why did you delete the last 6 months of your comment history after it got downvoted?

If you touch it I'ma start some drama,

You don't want no drama,

No, no drama, no, no, no, no drama

why so much hate on this subreddit?? it's only our personal opinions and theories. if you don't like the posts, don't visit the subreddit and if you don't like the posts why bother yourself to comment negatively on them??

So what the fuck HAS been happening? What happened?

His name is Mr.Dong!

His name is Mr. Dong!

His name is Mr. Dong!

His name is Robert Paulson.

Why is this such an anti circle jerk

wahgwan round here?

They called him Mr. Dong.

His NAME is Mr.Dong!

His name is Mr. DONG!

I bet that's not his real name.

Nobody else is going to say it? Fine. INSIDE JOB! WAKE UP!

I can only hope that Mr. Dong rejoins us.... as Ms. Vag

I had talked to him in PM just last night. It's pathetic that he'd have to do something so drastic to move the hands of the shitty admins of this site.

nvm I get it. Keyword guild.

And anyone who doesn't have a 30 day old account.
