I think problem children on the site are all finger printed and data analyzed, and all of that happens automatically and is stored under a profile. Then, there are admins, contractors, mods and glowies who have access to that database, and can see your entire history on the site through many accounts.

They also have paid trolls who target problem children who will try to bait you into getting banned. Even if you're professional about it, they will at least shadow ban you when you tell em the truth without violating the rules. That is what happened to me.

Yes. I agree. They for sure have profiles based on IMEI and IP. Which is what I think you mean by fingerprinted profiles. They for sure do that.

And yes, I agree they have paid trolls that get at you.

They also have something called super user accounts, that give extra controls, like upvotes, Reddit coins, shadow banning, and stuff like that.

I got targeted one time after posting a meme telling people to turn off their distractions and pay attention to real conspiracies in r/conspiracy. I had 5 accounts down voting and trolling me. Then they were sending me pm messages after that.

What got me banned is when I confronted a German shill who told me my beliefs were a fraud. I looked through his entire post history, and he was never in that particular specialty sub before. I told him this and said that his opinion didn't mean anything, because he knew nothing about the sub he was in. Ten minutes later, every single comment was being hidden on all my subs.

r/conspiracy became a forum for babysitting conspiracy theorists. Like a big circle jerk that keeps everyone in check.

Unfortunately, that’s what said it has felt like lately. What’s the point of real news being on here if only us 15 people see it?

It’s like a fenced in area for geniuses.
