Nothing gets done at this scale. Many of these users are spreading lies, or at least roumors that they pass off as fact. Every little misunderstanding sends talented researchers on false leads.
This isnt an election, its an investigation. Ruw numbers are indipendent of performance. Id rather have 20 researchers that I trust, than 5000 of whatever we have here. Every idiot and shill counts against us three-fold here. "More the marrier" is self destruction when the stakes are this high.
Good points to be sure, but we will have those 20 core researchers no matter what. Ultimately, we need vast public attention on this if we want action to occur though. Once the core group of researchers, you, I, whomever they may be, come across the real smoking gun, having enough attention already available to immediately get the public eye on that evidence will be key in bringing these scumbags down.
Valid points as well. This might just come down to what environment we each prefer to work in. The noise-to-signal ratio is just a little far out for me right about now.

You kidding me? Leaving is exactly what half of these newfriends need to do.

Yes, let's discourage newcomers to the cause. Are you insane? How does a cause grow if it becomes an exclusive club?
