Of course. A couple days ago I made a
thread . my thread was moved for the resaon that it
was just general news and had no conspirational value.
He also said that the topic I brought up does good in that section he moved it to, that it
gets a lot of attention. Well, I begged to differ, and that thread in specific does have the potential of a conspiracy. I showed UM_GAZZ that
the thread did belong in Alternative Breaking News, and I also showed him that he is moving my thread when there are other threads in the same section
that clearly do not belong there, even some written by himself.
He moved my thread back, but messaging me that why I make it a big deal that if it was all about points. I answered him back saying that Im not
making it a big deal, im just looking for an impartial decision and that yes it is about points.
Obviously it is about points. What other way can members access areas and features of the website if it is not done through points? R.A.T.S.?
Anyway, he moved the thread back to the General Breaking News section and left it at that. I was trying to think to my self why in the first place
they would move my thread to BTS when it belonged on ATS. Clearly it did, otherwise he would not have moved it back.
To me this just says that in the eve of your expansion, as a bussiness, in order for investors to be attracted to ATS and the sister sites, there
needs to be a certain amount of traffic, good one at that. Now, it just seems that maybe BTS is not doing so hot since it is very sheepish, and not
at the same level of content and traffic that ATS generates. As a bussiness, you need to find ways to improve that traffic so that the investors can
be attracted. By moving a thread that clearly belonged to that section, and overlooking others that clearly do not, just makes it a little bit
suspicious.
I'm probably wrong and it could be another "isolated" case, but isn't this thread we are posting on now, belong on Breaking General News? Maybe
we can find a conspiracy in this thread?

Good way to evade them... but isn't there a rule against making posts like that?
