Petition to Ban David Seaman

34  2017-02-13 by WarSanchez

This guy has not only been stealing other's work and passing it off as his own since the inception of PG, he also trolls for clicks and views with imminent arrest tweets. Which he eventually walks back and acts the victim when exposed. He also shamelessly plugs his donation sites ad nauseum. For christs sakes he wrote a book on making yourself famous by any means necessary.

There are better, troll free sources out there guys. Can we please ban him as a source?

I give it till noon for arrest to be made. If not, then im all in to ban him.

That's reasonable.

Didn't he already admit his "source" was wrong about arrests?

yup, then spun some bullshit about how he was the one being set up lol

Lets ban Seaman!

How about just down voting his stuff? you know, use Reddit's tools as they should be...

I do. He and Alex Jones are the only non MSM sources I go out of the way to downvote for their blantant whoring.

I don't want him banned off this sub, I want him banned as a source of people's info. Like, as in, make users aware he is a troll trying to get fame, notoriety, and money off of unsuspecting folk.

At least Alex Jones is entertaining, Seaman is straight garbage.

Sounds like you're jealous, tbh. Alex Jones works hard and has broken stories. Seaman isn't in the same category at all and the fact that you put them together hurts your credibility.

Nice to know my credibility gets held to a higher standard than both of these clowns! Gives me joy.

Clowns censor content.

Asking people to not post his bullshit isn't censoring him. But I wouldn't expect a 5 day old account to know that, when ALL of your posts are pushing a narrative.

asking people not to post his content.

Look at you dance.

Censorship isn't welcome here. You try to censor me because of my account age and posting history.

All you are doing here is pushing censorship of information you don't like. You want to have a meaningful conversation or are you going to play games ???

I never said let's censor pizzagate. Did I? Hmmmm... So now you are reaching and lying.

We are only as good as our sources, something Mr. Seaman should learn. Banning him as a source isn't censorship. Think critically for once.

Banning content is censorship.

Your excuses are just that, excuses to censor content

You just don't get it. He only wants to censor what he doesn't like

The guy is a troll - does anybody seriously not realize that now?

or you know why dont u click it i mean nobody is forcing u to click his link lol QQ

I don't but we can't be one of those subs that claims not to fall for MSM propaganda then continually fall for this troll.

Uh... Down vote?

And banning? We aren't even mods. Not sure how we can do it. As much as I dislike him, any form of censorship is bad.

I'm enjoying his meltdown live on Twitter now. Hahaha...

I suck at twitter, don't like thier reply/thread feed system.

He's a troll looking for money, that is hardly censorship.

Well, it's your loss. His Twitter is quite entertaining.

hardly censorship.

I'll have to disagree with you on that. IMO, people should be allowed to speak freely, even if it is manipulative BS. However, it is up to the community to highlight that whatever is said is manipulative BS.

I personally don't like the ban idea, not only because it's not feasible, it's bad in general. Banning Seaman for his antics today, can be a sign of banning truthers tomorrow.

As individuals, we must always affirm our stance on non-censorship, no matter how crappy the post or person is.

Reddit search for "David Seaman" "New" and it's blatantly obvious that Seaman's got a whole team of sockpuppet accounts that downvote to oblivion, meanwhile, the top comments are post-positive. Mods?

He's not stealing anyone's work. He's reporting it. He also reports leaks he gets. What should he do? Not report them and wait to see what happens? His job is to report info. Besides, that's his choice how he wants to disclose data. It's also the choice of people not to listen to him if the data he provides has no value to them. The mass of people who think there's something up with pizzagate indicates that people think there's value to the things he posts. It's pretty much that simple.

As to the rhetoric that if his sources give him bad data this somehow makes his opinion worthless - that's a bit silly. Even it he was reporting his opinion and he was wrong, so what? People are not perfect. This is reality. The expectation of perfection by Heroes is a big lie, and has always been a big lie - thanks for perpetuating this ridiculous program which keeps us all waiting for someone to save us.

Not sourcing your info on your video reports is stealing. Just because he reoorts it doesn't mean it is not stealing someone's work. He needs to give credit but he doesn't because he fears losing audience to his sources.

This is bullshit. Since DS references the same sources on PG as anyone else, everyone knows what the source material is, and he's talking about that source material. The only exception to this is when he brings in data that's been personally leaked to him. Since everybody knows the sources, your criticism becomes one of form and not substance. Pretty weak.

Also, as a "reporter" or "journalist" he has to double check his sources because it is HIS credibility on the line for not doing the basics of journalism.

Says who? Who arbitrates who someone can express themselves? Is that your job?

When he is acting as a reporter reporting leaks, his only responsibility is to report leaks and let people judge for themselves.

Burn some books this weekend while you're at it.

I will, both the Bible and Koran!

Both bullshit, just like this guys "reporting".

Your push to censor content isn't welcome here

Sick of hearing you and a dozen other accounts cry censorship when you don't like something.

This is the exact same MO as a former mod who tried to rule 11 This sub into pro Hillary content.

Awww did I hurt your feelings because I said I'd burn the bible?

This is the exact same MO as a former mod who tried to "rule 11" any content that didn't adhere to his world view

Failing the Turing test

Awww... Now I'm a bot sent here to mess with you? The mental gymnastics you are doing to discredit anyone that doesn't agree with you. Come on, hit me with more technical jargon so you don't have to look past the fact that this guy is 100% genuine bullshit.

Please don't ban anybody from this sub.

It's fascist tactics.

His twitter doesn't contain any news or info and his videos are plagiarism at best. Also, I guess I could have phrased it better than ban. i'd rather see him excluded from being a legitimate source since he just trolls.

Fascist

banning things is a slippery slope.

As an online community we are hopefully gathered to hone our discernment while seeking objectivity. Testing this discernment is good and this fellow fails my personal test.

The media (and the public) love celebrities, so the easiest way to get attention is to be a celebrity.

Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz will teach you how to do just that, and for little or no cost. For example, Secret #2: Be outrageous or die. There’s a benefit to angering the public. “It’s often better to piss someone off than to leave them ambivalent.” It doesn’t matter whether they like you, only whether they remember you. This goes against the traditional advice – mind your manners—but it certainly makes sense. Who’s going to buy your product if they don’t remember it exists?

David Seaman is acting out his playbook. "Dirty Little Secrets of Buzz"

If you have given this guy your time or money you've been played.

Exactly, he has been mooching off the community and trolling the sub and yet people take his word over those that have facts that he is 100% bullshit.

Never about this book, where can I find it?

It's almost like his source set him up for these attacks calling for him to be barred.

He claimed his source was wikileaks, then he walked it back to claim they were too big to name.

How about he actually follows througj for once.

Accountability and Credibility 100% necessary for a reporter. He lacks both.

At 3:19 on Feb 12 he said "my source's confidentiality might dry up." If his source was Wikipedia, not sure how this would make sense.

None of his stuff makes sense. He's an attention whore doing it for money.

There are better reporters out there not begging for money.

I've watched many of his videos and I've never seen him ask for money.

Petition to ban you then.

If I was trolling the community and posting bullshit, I'd take my ban like a man not throw a public twitter tantrum. But to each his own.

Does that make you feel proud?

Yes. Thanks for asking!

How sad

I downvoted any post with his name- including this one.

He's been pretty strange lately.

Ban him!

Semen's blown it the past couple days, after being suspect for weeks, but banning is out of the question. Ignore, mock, don't share his stuff. But banning him? No.

I heard he called it but called the wrong person.

Sounds to me like someone is extremely butt hurt coz HIS narrative isn't pushed by someone else. Fuck your censorship and fuck you OP.

You heard...

LOL fuck off. There have been arrests since before Trump took office. This isn't the high profile case. This was people reporting a pedo and him getting his comeuppance.

It is actually pretty high profile, not as big as what was suggested, I agree. But, still a step in the right direction. I won't ban a guy who may have got details wrong but the overall story is right (pedo's getting locked up)

Whatever mental gymnastics you gotta do buddy.

Oh...so you're saying that it doesn't matter that a pedo with a position of power was caught?

Solid logic from a clearly reasonable and intelligent person. What time do they normally give you your meds? Should probably wait till after that to reply to comments.

Position of power? His dad had position of power. This was a fucking creep getting his comeuppance. I am not defending him at all. But whatever floats your boat.

Well, it's your loss. His Twitter is quite entertaining.
