These seem to be causing some problems one way or another so we need to decide how we handle them.

1) Enough, no more. Ban them and bin them.
2) Put them in here ConspiracyTruth-Researchers-and-Presenters sub-forum
3)Create a dedicated Icke sub-forum
4)Other ideas

It doesn't put me up nor down and will go with whichever of the choices has the majority apart from the first one. Not having that.

Maybe I'm being nippy but can we not just call them 'Researchers' rather than attach the word 'truth' to them

Indeed so - who knows what the Truth truly is? Lol!

Just a reminder that if the Rumors thread and tpv threads especially were binned or moved into logged in only bits, it would adversely efffect SEO and how high the site comes up on google and so on for certain searches.

So perhaps something to consider, or not i guess, depending on ones pov.

I mentioned those two specifically since they are the strongest ranking of the icke related threads last time i looked at it.

Simply moving threads into other categories wont have an adverse effect if they are public categories btw.

Next thread covered.....

And if the threads Nov is talking about were moved to the proposed sub-forum they would not be restricted to members only.

I'm happy with any option except No. 1.
I mostly use the recent tab anyway. When I bookmarked the forum (originally when I joined) I was on the recent tab at the time, so now when I come here it always opens up on 'recent' and that suits me just fine

The icke related stuff has to stay public... I see no benefit, other than to become a helm for rumours, if we made it all private.

defo not first option - other than that I don't mind tbh as i use the recent tag so tend not to see what sub forum a thread is from.

Not sure icke needs his own sub forum - but do think that there should be an easily identifiable thread for people to vent or add new happenings to.

How about we try having NO parts of the forum hidden?
What are the downsides?

The vent has alot of personal stuff from members... things they'd rather just the people they converse with viewed as opposed to the whole world.

And then of course there's the stuff, we as facilitators, have to move or split off because its turned into a pub fight...

Vent has a few purposes in my opinion.

Many people stated things in vent on the understanding that it was restricted viewing.
We can't retrospectively abuse that trust or understanding imo.

No we can't.

Vent stays

Fine, but fights, abuse and libel can occur anywhere!

Not sure why you feel the need to tell me that like I didn't know lol

The 'personal' doesn't occur anywhere though... and thats the important point in this

I voted for Truth Researchers, although it's a misnomer.

Another one for 'researchers'.

Though in icke's case, half witted plagiarists might be more apt.

Could folk please be sure to click their choice in the poll and not just state their preference in a comment. Your vote is your voice, if it became a contentious issue ultimately we'd have to abide by the poll results.

Cheers.
