I would be happy if the admins told them not to link to /r/conspiracy any more.
They obviously can't control their users, and unlike SRD or SRS this hate group is aimed directly at us. Their hate is distributed across all of the default subs.

R.E: The Admins/default mods: You know shit runs deeper than that.
Why is it that in /r/news every single snowden leak thus far hasn't reached the top from the original guardian link but from a businessinsider meta-report on the piece, obviously someone is getting paid for those pageviews. It's not fucking absurd to assume that it's not coincidence that every time a leak drops the pageviews from this here aggregate site goes via a proxy rather than the original article...
I'm not sure this is an admin thing, I'm not sure it's a paid thing, I'm not sure of anything.
It's a seperate issue from why this sub gets so much hassle.
I assume it's because conspiracies attract polar differences of opinion.
There's nothing that can be done to quell the vitriol of pissed off people, right or wrong. Our job is to teach or guide them to voice their views in a way which we can all appreciate, be they hardcore libertarians, UFOlogists, centrists, left-wingers, folks with a general sense of scepticism, zealots, anti-semitics, zionists or whatever.
Our insurmountable job is to unite all those dudes to face a common enemy, and I'm sure the truth is more complicated than that.
Still, there's ways and means man, I think you are doing most everything right.

Who the fuck is downvoting this guy? Are you kidding me?
Oh.... it is probably the r/conspiritards people.
Let's do what Flytape says... it can't hurt to try. I'm thinking that the people who are arguing against him are trolling or trying to derail a good idea. Fuck them - Flytape is making some good sense.
