In reply to the discussion: Conspiracy Theories that turned out not to be "Theories". [View all]Manifestor_of_Light
(21,046 posts)I have not gotten an answer from the admins as to why certain theories are allowed and other theories are not allowed.
I see words like "Kooks" "crackpots""paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact".
FROM THE TERMS OF SERVICE:
Don't go overboard with the crazy talk.
Democratic Underground is not intended to be a platform for kooks and crackpots peddling paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact. To accommodate our more imaginative members we tolerate some limited discussion of so-called "conspiracy theories" under the following circumstances: First, those discussions are not permitted in our heavily-trafficked Main forums; and second, those discussions cannot stray too far into Crazyland (eg: chemtrails, black helicopters, 9/11 death rays or holograms, the "New World Order," the Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, alien abduction, Bigfoot, and the like). In addition, please be aware that many conspiracy theories have roots in racism and anti-semitism, and Democratic Underground has zero tolerance for bigoted hate speech. In short, you take your chances.
