A thoughtful reply, and I shall reflect on that.
But on one point, I question:
This site was designed or intended to be a research site, but I question whether this is still the case, or rather, how much it currently serves that purpose. It may be my subjective impression, but it does seem to me that a lot of board members ARE coming here for news, NOT so much for research.
I mean, one of the GENERAL RULES is:
I guess the reason I question this, is because I do not see a lot of high effort posts. Rather, I do see a lot of low effort posts. And there are good high info posts, but there are also a lot of low info posts. Or, possibly, I just gravitate towards seeing that, because of my particular prejudice.
So, I guess I'm saying, yes, I get that this is the vision and the ideal, but I have some level of concern that in fact, we are not quite living up to that vision.
Anyway, I'll reflect.
PS. "t might feel upsetting that a "bad post" might make it to the front page, and "oh no what happens if someone sees it and bad mouths us ?", or even worse "what if one of my friends sees it thinks less of us ?"
To be frank, this was NEVER my concern. NEVER has been. (and in my harsh opinion, that's a pretty low-level of consciousness).
Rather, as a digital soldier, and truth warrior, my concerns are: how many anons are distracted by fake information, how that might impact the broader work, and how to stem the uptake of bad practices when it comes to applying trusted and solid Q-type techniques: due diligence, empirical evidence, critical thinking, emotional balance, etc.
For me, this is all about us, and not so much about "what will others think?", except for perhaps the problem of us unnecessarily laying out ammunition for the Cabal's propaganda machine to use against us or potentially awakening frens.
I am so glad to hear this. You wont believe how many people have been angry in the past that their friends coming to GAW think badly of us, and I agree its a very low-level consciousness.
These are good concerns to have and honestly, as digital soldiers its on all of us users not just us mods to ensure the community stays focused as much as possible. This can only be done by engaging with users on different controversial posts. Challenge people for their sources and for the logic they used. Try and find past Q posts that get unlocked by current news. Find connections to, say Durham filing, and old Q posts for instance. These kind of stuff can create a lot of engagement.
And always lead by example. However don't expect everyone to follow. You are right, we are having more and more mainstream folks coming to our site. This means digital soldiers are winning. But it also means the quality of our board will get diluted and eveyone should make a conscious effort to engage with these folks and teach them how to do research.
Infact, I would say, this post is a good example for that. This is the kind of post that gets people digging. If these kinds of posts get lost in new, then it takes away an opportunity for some who might have actually done some digging.
You also have to realise that a lot of folks are fatigued. The battle has gone on for too long and while we know the end is near we still dont know how far it is. Ideas to rejuvenate those who are losing hope always welcome.
