Y'all remember our super-mod, u/Evspra? Got this modmail from him tonight, and, uh, I feel concerned for this angry kid. I dunno what mental space he's in, but, do you ever look at GAW's amazing site design and think how awesome it is? It was all him! He did so much for us! Poor kid...

If we're all about research, how is anyone being alienated? If people find flat earth to be ridiculous, they can just ignore those posts.
Apologies up front for the wall of text I'm about to build because this is one of my favorite subjects here on GAW. I'm fascinated by the commitment, or lack thereof in some cases, to sticking to the stated purpose and goal of research and dissemination of TRUTH and of course the commitment to 1st amendment etc.
If dissemination of evidence supported research and it's findings were the full purpose of the board, then why is there no searchable database of subjects and evidence. Perhaps divided into 2 or 3 levels of surety. But that's not happening. No, this is something else. What's alienating is coming here for information, and finding the same sort of gatekeeping that they had for the vaccines. If you had questions then you were a problem. Didn't matter in what spirit the question was being asked, it was treated as an agenda you were pushing. They'd call you an antivaxxer. Even when it wasn't true. Only from the perspective of people with a very specific agenda of getting sheeple on board did genuine questions become threatening to the point of needing to silence them. First thing is label them. Shills. Antivaxxer. Whatever the word chosen to mean "not us" is. We know this is only necessary when someone fancies themselves a protector, or a nanny state, or just someone that knows better than us and is doing the gatekeeping for our own greater good. Not to mention, like a couple other posts already have, that often the moderator(s) (not going to name, but definitely not all) do not try at all to hide the joy and gratification of being the one to do the firing. "Killing"? Cmon
I got a permanent ban for a video that unfortunately had FE in the title. I was in the middle of adding that it actually had nothing to do with FE and got an instant ban. Thankfully I was reinstated thanks to frens writing in. Knee-jerk reaction before facts were known. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer to believe Genesis over NASA, I keep an open mind. There are far weirder things tolerated on here.
Now I'm curious... who is running the show here?
FL as in Florida? Why on earth would that kick in an instant ban?
NO ONE will ever tell us... or why the site REALLY became to be called SCORED
Flat Earth, not Florida. The video title had it for some strange reason, unfortunate. It was actually full of very interesting historical facts I thought worth sharing.
As for this: I was always taught its not a good idea to wash dirty linen in public, no matter how justified.
That said, I miss Evspra, and Chronic Metamorphosis.
Yes! I miss them both as well.
Shouldnt Flat Earth be, well, FE?
And I dont believe in FE at all but I also dont believe in silencing those who do believe in it because well, I am not all-knowing and would be a fool to try to convince anyone else that I have the answers to such things and therefore have the authority to tell everyone else that they must believe what I do.
Too much hive-mind thinking and controlling of other's stances/beliefs goes on here just as much as the other side. In a way, we are still sheep but were just moved to another farmer's field. The whole "I have insight on the knowledge you dont have" and wanting to use that as some kind of way to put yourself (as in general term) up a pedestal above others because of supposed secret knowledge isnt how we should be living our lives; it is very secret society type of thinking.
