Ah zorgon, so you are also Vexxed???
Vexxed? No believe me I 'get it'
Just saw your reply. No, I thought you came up with the name shadow realm from the video game Vexx which the final level is the shadow realm. I was hoping you could tell me how to beat it. Sorry, my mistake.
I do like the name "Confessions and Disclosures" for this new forum that someone proposed. It describes what it is, and leaves it wide open to just about anything.

THANKS for the honor of your query.
----------------
What topics do you think we should add to this list?
----------------
Those you listed . . . perhaps plus any extremely fantastical supernatural/un-natural phenomenon, experience.
imho, there's a lot of garbage . . . probably even "new age"/demonic garbage . . . that's posted rather willy nilly . . . at a minimum distracting and a drag on more solid stuff . . . though I think that the uncritical gah gah cheering by that particular orientation's cheer leaders can get excessive.
Certainly claims of super fantastical technologies; super fantastical information/knowledge sightings; super fantastical abduction experiences . . . would be good to be vetted first in such a forum.
-------------------------
What do you think the name of the new forum should be?
-------------------------
Hmmmmm
"ATS PROVING GROUND" or
"QUALIFYING LAPS" or
"FIRST FLIGHT" or
"FRIENDLY GAUNTLET" or
"TRIAL BY WORDS" or
"TEMPERING HEAT" or
"POLISHING WHEEL" or
"GRINDING WHEEL" or
"REFINING FIRES" or
"VETTING VENUE" or
"VIVID VETTING" or
"TRY-OUTS" or
"FLYING KEYS & FINGERS"
----------------------------------
What level of "vetting" should we require for these to be moved to a conspiracy forum, while being respectful of the poster's privacy?
Some percentage of:
1. Character verification by reliable sources who know the person well
2. Documentary proof of key aspects; key reference points; key biographical facts; photos . . .
3. Other witness collaborations
4. 5 out of 7 or 7 out of 12 moderators/super moderators gut senses attesting to a 70% or greater conviction that the story is authentic
5. Close relatives/friends attesting to a significant series of such experiences being related to them convincingly over several months or years.
6. Medical exam x-rays and the like documenting implant or other such purported abduction impacts.
7. A narrative that holds together well with enough flaws to be convincingly human and real yet enough logical coherence and a holistic, gestalt gut-feel that is congruent, and evidently grounded in reality. Doesn't have a flippant, yet hokey-polished, hoaxed, glib flavor to it.
-------------------
I think it's a worthy effort. I hate seeing folks shredded at the drop of a hat. And, I hate the rest of us being duped mercilessly by cheeky joksters. This could strike a meaningful functional balance between those tendencies.
Thanks,

Pod Bay One? And have it moderated by Spock, Dr. McCoy, Sulu, Uhura, and Scotty?
Springer can be Kirk, and SO and Simon Grey as Admirals at Fleet command.
I can hear the voice of the computer now: "Please remain in the decontamination area until cleared for general access."

Isn't this kind of what "Skunk Works" is for on ATS?
I like what Wuk, WhatUKno suggested with the "Whistleblower" reference, but maybe a connection to the "Fringe Element" area.
"Whistleblower/Fringe Element"
Oh yeah, and the icon should be multiple questions marks, meaning ATS is unsure itself of these conspiracies.
Topics that should be included within it.
* Anal Probed And I Need Help
* I Am A Time Traveler
* I Am A Shapeshifter
Anything else that can not be substantiated with basic facts to back it up.
I know conspiracy theories in themselves are difficult for mainstream people to believe or understand, but some of the things I mentioned above are like way over the top.
