Ok kids, we are being overrun by jackwagonry. Wait it out.

I said this earlier: The price of having an amazing community is that we attract tourists.
Let's not invest too much energy in the trolls and (god, I'm gonna get assassinated for this, but) let's stand by our mods.
It's just a hurricane of assholes. We will be fine in a few days. Stay hydrated! 😜😜😜
Edit: it's 6:34 (18:34) eastern. I've just gone thru the top 50 in r/conspiracy/new. These are the people I "know:"

If you aren't them, you need to slow down and get to know the community.

This is the worst, lol. I really hope they go away.
n/a -HarlandKornfeld- 2017-01-11
Hopefully this community rides out and they get tired. Good luck fighting the shills and hivemind useful idiots.
n/a SpotLightGuy 2017-01-11
"Wait it out" implies they might leave. Idk it looks them and their crazy upvote slot machines are here to stay. Hope you're right though.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
They've been here before. We bore them. It's all good 😊
n/a WarSanchez 2017-01-11
There are diff groups here. We have to acknowledge that, it is not just one group. Both parties are here trying to put their BS as fact. Those usually disappear after a bit but show up for big political events.
We also have people here who are spreading DIS and MIS information here to muddy the waters. those people will never leave. Those are the ones that bother me more.
n/a TeslasMuse 2017-01-11
2 of the names up there are likely shills, not sure what you're using for your "these are the good guys" criteria, but this post is as bad as the rest
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
I listed who I "know" in the top 50 new.
n/a quantumcipher 2017-01-11
The problem is, in doing so any relevant information posted here becomes drowned out by partisan bickering and disinformation. At least, for the time being.
n/a RichardSphenkter 2017-01-11
I got banned for simply asking "Is this piss stuff actually real, or are you guys joking? What is going on?"
I don't see any reason for them banning me, other than to make sure I don't hear the story? I'm honestly confused. Even that theory doesn't make any sense, because I could still look elsewhere.
n/a Agastopia 2017-01-11
Banned where?
n/a RichardSphenkter 2017-01-11
Alternate account about 40 minutes ago. I've gotten 2 messages on that account from others that are very upset so I'm just here to relay the info.
n/a RedTapedSpacePanda 2017-01-11
I doubt it was to keep you from knowing 'pissgate'. I've kinda heard that story, and it is so fucking stupid.
n/a Siliceously_Sintery 2017-01-11
It absolutely was, the mods removed it from the front page despite it having more upvotes than any post.
Clear censorship in the form of made-up "raid" logic, no evidence.
That's the conspiracy now. No comment from them either.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
You forgot to mention that the media outlets spreading the story later retracted it. Maybe the mods should've tagged it as fantasy. Would that make them less biased?
n/a SpotLightGuy 2017-01-11
Who banned you?
n/a SovereignMan 2017-01-11
Ban evasion is a violation of the Rules of Reddit. Banned again.
Protip: Never brag about evading bans.
n/a sudo-tleilaxu 2017-01-11
..and use Tor if you are trying to evade a ban.
n/a Noxton 2017-01-11
It's important to know what all sides of a discussion say, even the ones you don't like. Even the ones who are paid to say the things the ones you don't like are saying. This is our reality now. It will not change. Do not forget that.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Thank you, this is a great point. I was specifically speaking about the masses who've rolled up in here in the last 24, but you are right, and I've given this a lot of thought lately.
We have to learn to discern, regardless.
Wise words, friend.
n/a RedTapedSpacePanda 2017-01-11
I agree. If we know the narrative the shills are pushing, we are that much more educated about the situation we're all in. The more sides we can examine, the more our eyes open
n/a bearhat808 2017-01-11
Correct the Record never died. It merely reformed under David Brock's other super PAC American Bridge.
n/a catapult91 2017-01-11
And there's conservative and liberal conspiracy theorists so there's this clash.
n/a Siliceously_Sintery 2017-01-11
Which one gets censored though?
The liberal one with the 20 thousand upvotes.
n/a thedogshittacos 2017-01-11
Real conspiracy theorists are neither.
n/a cykalone 2017-01-11
>inb4 shills start parroting the "it's because a post hit /r/all" narrative.
n/a MILOS_BALD_SPOT 2017-01-11
Right? It's not like /r/all would display all subreddits.
n/a DrDougExeter 2017-01-11
this sub hasn't been right since the election and the flood of idiots from /donald
n/a thedogshittacos 2017-01-11
Yep most of the good posters have moved on since then.
n/a whacko_jacko 2017-01-11
That's what I thought about /r/politics when it started it's downward spiral in 2014/2015
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
But (and sorry) idk you from r/conspiracy. This is not r/politics.
If you don't know this community, you might not get what's up. We've seen this before.
n/a whacko_jacko 2017-01-11
I think you are missing my point, and you and I appear to be on the same side here. I only disagree with your assurance that all will be fine in a few days. I see the manipulation reaching new levels of focus on /r/conspiracy, and I fear for the future of this community.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Rest assured I am not missing your point.
Perhaps they are focusing on this community. However, I have trust. I think there is a core group of posters & commenters here. We know each other. If there were going to be a ship-jumping, we'd signal each other.
Shills don't go 'round here. And if they ever did - we'd leave them to their ruins.
n/a TeslasMuse 2017-01-11
i spend hours here every day and i've only seen your stupid opinion for about 2 months, so what is this "we know each other" bullshit? this post is suspicious af
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Yeah, same. I don't participate as much as you because -- I just seriously don't have the time. There's nothing suspicious about my post. There are ~1400 people here now. Back to normal, like I said.
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-01-11
Lmao "if you aren't one of the people I know you need to slow down and get to know the community"
Such bullshit, how does this shirt get upvoted?
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Why does it escape you that we recognize each other?
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-01-11
Huh? I don't recognize you...
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
I wouldn't expect you to.
Shoofly.
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-01-11
Lmao whatever man, have fun trying to regulate who should and shouldn't post here.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
I don't care who posts here. I care who trolls here. You can troll here. But you should expect to be crushed.
That's up for you to discover.
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-01-11
You obviously care who posts here, you made a list of people you know that shouldn't stop posting and claimed that people not on that list need to "slow down and get to know the subreddit"
It's been an echo chamber for trumpets, that's changing, it's not trolling and it's not shills or any of those other excuses.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
We've been inundated in the last 24 hours. My point was that I would support known contributors - and perhaps I didn't express that sentiment properly. Still - I would hear them all out, regardless of politics.
On the other hand, you have a one-month account. You're lucky I'm addressing you at all, but since I am, what did you come here to say?
n/a MartnThaKing 2017-01-11
Lmao I'm lucky you're addressing me? I delete my accounts occasionally, I can dig up the only 2 memorable posts I've ever had on a different account if that would change your mind.
I came here to say that you trying to regulate who can post is retarded, which is roughly what I said in my top level comment.
n/a explaainer 2017-01-11
I have half your list of "acceptable" posters hard ignored because I consider them trolls. Shoofly.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
I didn't call them acceptable. I said they were known. You considering them trolls means zero to me. I'm not interested in your emotions.
n/a explaainer 2017-01-11
Right back at you. Please stop telling people what to post, who they should trust, and threatening to "crush" people you consider trolls.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Hey man. I can't help that this sub is full of smarties. Bring your best.
n/a explaainer 2017-01-11
You have only been here 8 months. You are one of the people who showed up for the US election and trashed the place. You are what you hate. You are projecting. Please leave.
n/a lily_levasseur 2017-01-11
Annnnd shit just got weird...
n/a TeslasMuse 2017-01-11
pretty sure we should be wary of OP, too
n/a quantumcipher 2017-01-11
Don't mind him. He's a known agitator. Best to DNE.
n/a polymorph505 2017-01-11
"I've been here so long I recognize everybody legitimate. You guys should get to know my community!"
redditor for 1 year
Don't be fooled by this bullshit, she's just another election-induced political warrior here to grind an axe and control the narrative. Telling you how to behave and what to believe, and most importantly who your enemies are! Fuck them all.
