One of the reasons there is less "real investigation" lately is because the subscribers have more than doubled lately, and your average person isn't really capable of offering anything of substance to the sub. So they post crap. And that makes it seem like the real stuff isn't happening, but it's just getting harder to find. Rest assured there are people working on real leads and we do still occasionally get some relevant posts that help us to move forward.
I also agree that there needs to be more organization.
Maybe if only investigative posts were upvoated on a savethekids subverse, would that work?
There seems to be several types of posts:
1.) investigative leads/breakthroughs/i just realized..
2.) media/news (the wpo posted this!!)
3.) general discussion/meta/suggestions (does anyone feel...)
4.)opinion/facts (omg this got deleted; i just got censored;i archived this;we did it)
5.)off-topic/inflamatory
I'm mainly interested in the first type of post. Although types 2-4 also lead to new leads, I'm also a little frusterated at how hard it is to follow up on a topic I found compelling (pajama factory, hawaii) because by the next day the thread/topic is buried.
No, we aren't splitting up our community. We have a sticky section to refine content. This is the 4th time I've seen you suggesting this on this very same thread.

I think it would be a good idea to start a side subreddit(?). Perhaps pizzagatediscussion, or maybe a better idea to move the research somewhere else.

Any thoughts?
