Why is this sub getting brigaded? Because the claims are unbelievable?

A lot of the shit posted on is too, but that doesn't get brigaded. Moreover most of what's posted is OC. It's a little suspicious that certain content isn't OK according to a certain in-group of users.

is already taking back his downvotes to avoid revealing his motives.

Anyway, if that's the way this is going, I'm subbing and upvoting these posts. Maybe they're on to something if it's meeting this much resistance on a free speech site.

If you look at hans' history you'll see the amount and frequency of his posts are all on the same topic in . It's not the subject matter, it's spam.

I do think that we should try and refrain from mass downvoting people, but where do we draw that line?

Well, maybe better filtering would be a solution. I am working on something to that end, but i'm not very technically gifted so it may take a while.

Still, I find that whenever a group of people is hostile to a topic as a whole. There's an agenda. What are the Poal power users hiding?

It's not the subject matter that people are being bothered by it's the volume of the posts all with the same subject matter. It fills up the site with the same thing.
Maybe people should not be downvoteing him, I haven't, but I don't think the subject matter is why they are.

I think you're right, better filtering is key.

However, there is no conspiracy further than most people don't like uncorroborated and unverifiable conspiracy theories spamming up the new page.

That's my take. I appreciate the attention you're bringing to this matter, I'd be curious to hear more opinions.
