I am posting this in rant as I am livid right now to some of the things that are happening here. With a new thread asking members to participate in a "hoax" compilation thread, is not only scary as to what we are becoming, but this means that we are also promoting ignorance, hate, disdain, and chaos when someone disagrees.
This site should never place its self in the authority to who says truth and who doesnt. Important to note, we have ALL at some point received disinformation in one form or another, but it should be left up to a few understanding people, and your own personal choices on who and what you think is true.
I have written plenty of threads where people used this "hoax" crap to derail the topic, and you know what? I keep it moving and bring to the table what I can, but by doing this ATS is telling members that they no longer need proof, all they need is a "Please read this "hoax" thread" theres no need to discuss or prove anything, as according to flags, status, and frankly hive mind, your topic and opinion is moot.
For those that are new here, lurkers, been long time members, or you are a person who wished to spread hoaxes, please believe that some of us are not backing this.
ALL OPINIONS COUNT,INFO IS INFO,but like hell will I be the one to say that your thoughts, can be easily ignored with a link. Ill prove your a hoax, by researching the facts, and having a debate, its called gaining knowledge.
Peace, NRE.

Hoax's destroy the credibility of creditability conspiracies, just look at how YouTube hoaxers have destroyed UFOlogy.

What I am saying if there really is such a huge need to deny ignorance, why not start a compilation thread on how to research better, to avoid hoaxes, I would contribute what I could to that. Tell members to cross reference their information, and most of all to become better researchers, so that "deny ignorance" isnt just a motto... but a way of life.
Peace, NRE.
My concern and the reason I wrote this, is simply because there seems to be a false theory that we need this information handed to us
Not all of us do, but a lot would benefit. It would save time, hurt feelings, claims of staff singling someone out... Man I've posted a known hoaxer. It was Sorcha Faal. Never heard of him before that though apparently everyone else had. Oddly enough I'd been reading ATS for a year or two. If I knew there was a list of known hucksters when I joined I wouldn't have wasted my time.
