Listen, I know you want to keep things organized and on point. But there is a fine line between that, and simply deleting people's thoughts because you find them to be unworthy of whatever standards you are applying.
I am not trying divide us or cause distrust toward you KingKongisWrong. I am writing this to you to let you know that you need to ease up on the deletions.
Not for altruistic reasons, but for the sake of the longevity of this investigation itself.
When you are too heavy-handed with deletions, it causes distrust, and eventually it stifles the thread.
So what I am asking you is this. Even if you see something that YOU perceive to be totally worthless or off-target, do not simply delete it. We are rational adults here. The things we find valuable, will rise to the top; that which we don't, will sink.
I am appealing to your sense of practicality here. The most prudentially wise decision would be to take a hands-off approach to moderating, clear cases of shill-posting would be the main exception.
Deleting stuff just because you personally don't find it relevant or valuable is crossing the line and subjecting all of us to your whims. We are pleading with you to please be more sensible about this.

We're counting on you. With great power comes great responsibility.

IF you can fine ANYTHING besides obtuse connections to bars in Oregon that Hillary had a drink at, or ping pong businesses in California with "threatening" shadows of the photographer, and IF you can REASONABLE but SPECIFICALLY explain how the connection ties DIRECTLY to the #pizzagate investigations, it is most worth finding and sharing, and getting the information out to the public eye.
But to go off on tangents trying to tie in stupid YouTube conspiracy vids SIMPLY because they mention Satanism, or weird articles and Facebook pages involving alleged pedophiles who are NOT directly tied to this investigation, you are on your own. Go forth and multiply, and dig away. Just PLEASE do not try to clutter up THIS subverse with such tin-foil hat "investigative journalism." Take it over to /v/pizzagateunedited, or expect to find it removed, and then have to click the "REMOVED SUBMISSIONS" link at the bottom of the sidebar on the right.
Time and place. This is neither for ANYTHING on the outer fringes of reasonable investigation SPECIFIC to #pizzagate. PLEASE DO go and FIND stuff. No one is stopping you or saying you shouldn't. Just don't post it here unless it follows the rules as posted. Should be simple enough to understand...
