I know, man, But do you really think this is a good idea?

Sure we get brigaded, sure this is probably one of the most actively manipulated subs on reddit (that aren't mega-subs) but stickying a complain button will do us no favours. We need, if we are going to cleanse the sub (which is ultimately a bit futile) to provide concrete data of evidence of those folks messing up and brigading.

Offering a button to any reactionary but well-intentioned person who posts here will only serve to make us look like a pain in the arse to the admins.

I think you should rethink this sticky, or at least offer a proxy sub/post where we can actually find concrete evidence of brigading before bringing it to the 'bosses'.

I mean, conspiracy is a broad subject, quite often I see stuff on here and think WTF this guy is either disinfo or deluded, and I'm sure people think the same of me when I post/reply....Admin dont need a hundred posts a day of our bickering....A conscientous effort to isolate and distill the people who are taking the piss is a good idea, but opening the floodgates will not do our collective rep one bit of good. Too much noise, not enough signal.

just my 2p.
