Banning a thread

[Bubu]

Yet another useless distracting thread was closed. Thanks to the mods.

why not ban the poster as well or maybe slap with a suspension. For me knowingly posting an unwanted (by the great majority of the group) thread is like mocking. just a thought.

[Skyhaven]

So this thread is going to be worth while?

We often do not know what is done knowingly, as opposed to innocently, in which case it is usually best to give the poster the benefit of the doubt.

If your suggestion is adopted then would you volunteer to be Tomas de Torquemada?

Blessings to you.

From now on if I run into a pro-flat earth comment or thread I'm just referring the member to this post

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...=1#post1021715

And the other thread (the long one)...if they don't get it after that I can't believe there isn't an agenda behind it. Its just that there's smart people who can contribute here but this flat earth stuff has a hold on their brain.

It's like truther crack I tells Ya!! *shakes fist*

Before that, such a phenomenon is revealing that, at least, individuals have started to realize a serious and severe lack in discernment and education since such cannot even make a difference between a GooTube prank video and a valid scientific paper.

The education these individuals received, as stated, is that they "have been told" whether it's Gootube or school... no education whatsoever in their ability to reproduce simple experiments which demonstrate something one way or another. Never mind being educated in using their mind, abilities and skills in designing experiments that would be convincing or self-remonstrating. Not to mention an ability to recognize that a truth can be self-evident.

So, at least there is a step in the right direction insofar that such individuals stepped up to a new plate; an abyss away from a toilet flusher state... that's worthy of praise!

One bans things not because they are all-knowing but because they have the means to do so.

if the poster post on a previously closed same thread then you know but then of course its an added burden to the mod to check.

But tell me, on the vague road of conspiracy theories, how does one really tell the difference... Can we all reproduce them at home? No... So allowing one topic and disallowing another is kind of arbitrary is it not?

[Skyhaven]

The only thing that's clear to me about conspiracy theories is the marketing behind them... They attract loads of attention, especially from the Americas, and where there is loads of attention there is money to be made.

[Skyhaven]

To me, with my background in physics, the idea that the large hadron collider is being used to create a portal, is just as an ridiculous idea as the earth being flat, but that doesn't mean I feel the need to kill the discussion, that doesn't solve anything... If we were a science only community, I would understand that conspiracies are not fitting, but there is a conspiracy board HERE to discuss these things...

seeing that the earth is not flat with your own eyes and many eyes as well is no longer a theory

Seeing is believing?

One only needs to look throughout history to find that seeing is a poor indicator for debunking or affirming a theory.

Fully agree; in the world of SCIENCE. But the very nature of conspiracies is to doubt all facts given by experiments anyone else did, being people of science or anyone else on this board for that matter. That's what conspiracists DO, they trust no one. So silencing the conspiracists on the CONSPIRACY BOARD is a little off to me.

Theories do not have to be completely true or false to have useful information within it. Sometimes a part of a theory can lead to some interesting discoveries unintended from the original theory.

Take the pi.. out of Fulford and you will get a suspension. On the grounds of being rude to members according to the moderator...I pointed out that Fulford was not a member of this forum so whats the score with my suspension...NO REPLY. Moderators always ruin sites and they will ruin this one...just a matter of time and you Bubu are just one more member in an ever growing number that the moderators manage to pi.. off. I wouldnt ban Fulfords news but if we are going to start baning rubbish because it is self evident (like the flat earth alternative view) then lets start doing it with Fulford also. You see you can argue for any censorship but when the censorship starts you become worse than the so called people (elites) you castigated for censorship. Golden rule is free speech, your either for it or your against it. If its rude its rude, if its touchy its touchy...but in the end it is YOU the reader that should decide if you want to read rubbish or not...its your choice to do so not the bl..dy moderators.
So what if it brings the site into dis-repute or makes us look foolish... dont yeah think the people in the alternative media already bare that bl..dy label? so what?
No censorship, no baring of topics, your either for free speech or you aint...no middle road folks...you only need to post a disclaimer if your so concerned about what people may think and if you do then your in the wrong game here and I would take up knitting and leave the alternative community to the grown up's.

I just can't get over the "diarrhea in the pool" analogy. "A little leaven leavened the whole loaf" would've worked just fine

CORRECT Skyhaven CORRECT well said...see how the seed's of discord are being sown by the moderators and are slowly baring fruit? The numbers of the malcontent are growing and soon the moderators will spend more time deleting (in their eyes) negative post's than to worry about flat earth topics...you mark my words. I have seen it happen on many a forum where the moderators just kill it with censorship or deleting peoples post on the flimsy of grounds should somone's views oppose their own or start posting on topics they just cant handle.
