This is an open subreddit, anyone can vote. If you want it private, make it private? shits not complicated.

Don't you people go on /r/news and /r/worldnews and spread your message in other subreddits meanwhile downvoting anyone that disagrees with you? YOU DO! I'm sure it's not all of you but it's enough for me to say "WTF?". Too many of you are just butthurt because we get a laugh out of some of the "theories" you talk about or we disagree with you. It's the internet people...what'd you expect? Then again I'm sure I'll be called a government shill and whatever else justifies the crybaby mentality.

I think we need an alternative to reddit.

Who cares? You get on /r/news and /r/worldnews and spread your theories which sometimes cause what would be a normal discussion turn into some crap about jooz or chemtrails. Practice what you preach and don't dictate how our subreddit should run. We don't dictate how yours should be run. Sounds like there's alot of butthurt here. GO r/conspiratard.

Conspiritard and Conspiracy have the same problem. There's a wide userbase of normal people interested in what's posted, and a minority of dickholes that fuck things up for everyone.

Wow. My Comcast Internet sent that so fast that I had time to run out and buy bread sticks from my local Olive Garden.

Surely the 160,000 more people that visit /r/conspiracy could counter-act this "downvote brigading"?

Every day they obsess over our subreddit. I've seen as many as 14 links to our content in one day.
Why are they allowed to manipulate the vote here? Because it says not to in their sidebar? We all know that they do it anyway.
It also says not to troll in their sidebar, or to get involved in personal spats. But they do this daily and their mods seem to encourage it.
Why should "destructive" subreddits be allowed to exist?
/r/niggers was rightfully banned for raiding /r/blackladies, but that disgusting subreddit was allowed to exist until they crossed that line.
/r/conspiratard crosses that line every day, but the admins ignore it.
http://www.reddit.com/r/NolibsWatch/comments/1lvcnf/the_nolibs_banfest_of_2013/
One of their prominent users has had 18 accounts banned since august 21st of this year, over 50 accounts banned total. This is the kind of trash they they are allowing to grow in /r/conspiratard.
Our opinions here at /r/conspiracy might not be popular, but we don't allow vote brigades to originate from here, I remove them personally.
What else can we do? Appeal to the admins is the only thing left.

Posted my complaint, doubt anything will happen, I mean they got away with making fun of Rachel Corries death already. As far as I'm concerned the real admins of this website can go blow their brains out for all I care.

Banning them does work. You'd think they would create new accounts, but that is not the case.
I can assure you that by banning /r/conspiratard members, /r/EnoughPaulSpam and /r/EnoughLibertarianSpam you will get a lot more healthy and open discussions.

Any reasonable person who takes a look at /r/conspiratard can understand that this subreddit is regularly trolled. If that subreddit didn't exist many of its users would simply become more regular participants here. They would not be as easy to detect. On reddit it simply isn't possible to suppress highly motivated trolls. In my opinion it's actually better to have explicit evidence that people actually exist with that mindset and level of dedication.

I dont see a problem with this, its part of the game. I hate the voting system, but you cant put weird only spoken rules on it. I think no downvote is the answer or if you downvote you have to comment. But thats talking about if it was done throughout reddit or subreddit. This is the first I have heard that there is some kind of acceptable voting vs non acceptable. If something is a problem it has to be dealt with by changing the formula, not by complaining and trying to ban users. I see no problem with someone voting across the board on an issue, isnt that what reddit is meant for. If some big news comes out why shouldnt aa user be able to go across all subreddits and vote up submissions that are on that topic?
Also if I remember correctly you have to subscribe to this subreddit to vote or comment, could there be some kind of thing were if a user is only downvoteing things they are banned from this subreddit?

Get /u/g0ldfish or whoever to create a bot that monitors when they link. Post a link to /r/conspiracy. Link to another sub i.e /r/theyinterfere (you may notice a pattern in there interference.) Encourage /r/conspiracy users to upvote those submissions and comment and vote in those /r/conspiratard threads. For that matter generally encourage to visit /r/conspiratard to interrupt their echo chamber.

How about disabling downvotes and a zerotolerance modding policy? There are posters in here saying things about this sub and the people here that would never be allowed in 99% of other subs. And don't say its a free speech issue... Everyone here knows the official version of everything we discuss, we don't need micro-minded retards coming in here parroting CNN FOX etc and derailing the threads.

With the level of corruption in the mods and possibly the admins, I highly doubt anything will be done about it.
