Without a doubt, it has not only aided the growth of Whoaverse, but still remains one of the top verses. For those who are not looking from the outside in, /v/conspiracy has become more than simply a sub for conspiracies, but a place that promotes independent thoughts regarding many systems that are dominant in the world today. I honestly don't think I stand alone feeling this. I am a big advocate for Whoaverse becoming more than just a reddit clone, and that sometimes mean not replicating a complete shadow of the reddit structure. I think it would be a very progressive change for the site. What do you think?

I think that only aids the people who would tear the image of this site because they dont like what we talk about, also it seems unnecessary. The v/news v/politics channels here are not what Reddit made them, not at all, the general discussion is not guided by any one point of view, which is all we really need to get good truthful information about or country out into the open.

That is true only if you fear the thoughts of individuals, the same individuals who are unable to think for themselves and draw thier own conclusion, but I think the culture itself is worth embracing with the current standard.As I have stated in a previous comment, the Conspiracy culture should have some outlet in the main nav. It would ultimately be more effective if there was a rebranded name other than conspiracy - but it would have to be a good & fair representation that will promote a community for individual & independent sovereignty from the current world systems/structures/powers/media/etc

How about synarchy?
I only just created the sub but had been planning to do so for a while, thinking that:
The concept of synarchy (rule by a secretive elite) may better encompass the breadth and scope of content which would otherwise find its home in /v/conspiracy, and puts a fresh face on this kind of content which could appeal to a broader audience
/v/conspiracy could become a "journal" subverse where the moderators are editors and the sub has a review process to ensure all content is of high quality.
this would enable us to go the next step in our work and investigation re: conspiracies. conspiracy is a legal concept and if we effectively turned /r/conspiracy into a peer-reviewed law journal (albeit an unconventional one) where the ground-work for building cases to prosecute criminal conspiracies is being done, the sub could evolve into something really cool while /v/synarchy would continue to function as /v/conspiracy used to, albeit with a slightly different perspective.
This perspective shift, potentially combined with a practical emphasis on conspiracy as a legal concept, could go a long way towards not only changing how others perceive "conspiracy theorists," but could also help us think and work in ways that would be conducive towards actualizing the change we want.
