Saidit is being infiltrated and manipulated by paid shills. This is how the fall of Reddit started and if we aren't vigilant, the same could happen here.

All users should be informed. The reason why should be substantiated with proof. There should be like a trial.

I've been saying this for yeaaaaaaaaaars.

magnora7 doesn't want it because there'd be drama. Yes obviously. But have all the drama contained in /s/TownSquare or whatever you want to call it. Let the coliseum maniacs leer and cheer as they see fit. They can try to influence and skew the results but only the trusted-team would have the ultimate arbitration - with EVERYTHING IN THE OPEN. Meanwhile let the other subs live in more peace and tranquility.

    Agreed.

    There used to be more discipline from admins on this site, and generally any disputable problems and drama were from the lack of openness and clarity from magnora7. Things are now worse and less clear, again by his choices and lack of clarity, openness, and communication.

    We have and we do witch-hunts for the community to call out bad actors - and we should be prepared for them, whether rightly or wrongly accused. It can all come out, and users who have earned the trust or distrust of others will weigh in, and no matter how many bots and sockpuppets try they won't be able to penetrate authentic views with all their individual pros and cons. We need open "witch-hunts" in the /s/TownSquare but they need to be FOTPACH (fair, open, transparent, peaceful, accountable, consistent, honest). Whether it's justifiably getting bad-faith socks finally banned - or the other day Muskrat, HongKongPhooey, and SmokeDaddy in the worst ways chased off an innocent new friend I'd finally brought to SaidIt chat.

    First I've heard of /s/Houston. There are rules for folks who want to squat on their own sub. Power to them. There are many kinds of subs.

    I'm certain that calling for the Spanish inquisition is not going to have quite the virtuous effect as per your intent. Holding public trials is a bizarre response to disapproving of other users behaviour. It would have the effect of people self-censoring to avoid your wrath of public shaming.

      Call the witch-hunts whatever you like, but some folks need to be publicly dealt with for lack of any other online tools or community power. Importantly, with open, transparent, logical, rational, and fair moderation of the "trial" people can not only learn better ways to analyze and react, but it also lets folks know what's going on, how they need to behave, and sets examples for more that inevitably sure to follow.

      I don't give a fuck about trannies. Where did you get that stupid idea? From them? Musk, Usher, socks, weegs, Ed, and others can't be trusted. HKP and Smoke can, so far.
