[Meta] What could /v/conspiracy do to better itself? I'd like to invite anyone with an interest in conspiracies or underreported events to join me in brainstorming ways to make this sub excellent. (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by Mumberthrax

Many of us hail from /r/conspiracy due to dissatisfaction with some of the things over there, so what problems did/does /r/conspiracy suffer from which /v/conspiracy can learn from and deter?

What could moderators do to make this a more effective community hub for uncovering, organizing, sharing, and discussing information about conspiracies and secret agreements and all the related things that go into that?

What can non-moderators do to achieve the same goals?

Beyond the goals of sharing and discussing conspiracies and conspiracy theories, are there any other things that we would like to see on this subverse?

Are there any other questions we could ask ourselves and seek to answer with the aim of making the subverse and community excellent?

Is this too many questions for one post? :P

Please share your thoughts in the comments - even if you don't subscribe but have ideas or suggestions!

Edit: 14 days later and I'm now a moderator here. I'm stickying this post so anyone who missed it before can participate.

I'd like to see some kind of game that we play on a regular basis. Maybe a "predict the future" game where we try and predict the outcome of current events based on our knowledge of the past. The person that predicts the future correctly gets a visit from the NSA.

I'd also like to see a group activity that we all work together on regularly. We could, as a community, write a statement about current events. We could then have a frontman read the statement on camera. Maybe a weekly news report about events that didn't quite make it the average viewer. It would, I think, be easily produced and useful as a recruiting tool. It would be very easily produced and cost nothing, but time. It would also help strengthen the community by putting us all on the same page.

Sound like neat ideas! I agree that some sort of group activity would be excellent. Games are a great idea too, something i hadn't thought of. People like games, so it'd be great to combine active participation and some healthy fun and high spirits! :D

edit: I also think the video thing and the prediction game are cool ideas. I'd be interested in seeing what people think about those, and how they might be fleshed out some more. : ]
