There were bolts still in the wall and camera outlets above them when the owner of this rental house took possession. He called police because he said it looked like the remnants of cages inside the house big enough to hold humans. It would be interesting to hear what this former A+ list singer turned child molester has to say about it.
Comments lean toward R Kelly aka "Rapper into pissing and fucking girls on video"...

Why is CDAN allowed to be posted with NO verifying links? While the topic appears to be pizzagate related, it is always in the realm of gossip/ speculation. This should have a 24 hour flair like the rest of us get. This post is not research based. Where are the photos? Is there a copy of the filed police report?

In this case, septima, CDAN itself is the supporting link for the claim made in the headline. If RagingShieldMaiden had written a title directly claiming "Rapper left human cages in rental house" there would be a problem. But the title was that a gossip blog with a history of having solid information reported he left behind cages. The link supports the title, and RSM did a good job writing an accurate title that didn't claim more than it should.
At least, that is my perspective.

One of my posts was not treated this way. My title was the actual title of the linked article. It made a key claim in the article it said was sourced from abc, however it did not give a link. I was put on 24 hr notice to find the link, AND RIGHTFULLY SO. I did provide the link and the post stayed up. I have nothing against CDAN, but I would expect equal treatment in research standards. The strength of VOAT is a well documented research post. Just my opinion.

Thanks for elaborating on this, septima. I see your point. I'm not sure what the best solution is, though. In the case of your post, there was an easily verifiable primary source mentioned that wasn't linked and could have been fake or taken out of context (not judging here -- just speaking from the 40,000 foot level).
In the case of CDAN, no primary sources are possible because it IS a gossip blog. Nothing said there can truly be called anything but rumor -- which is why I never sticky CDAN stuff. We'd have to banish it completely to v/pizzagatewhatever, which might be appropriate and what the community wants. Yet I believe (and I think many others do as well) that CDAN is useful in providing CLUES that might help make sense of other information, leaks, events, actions and stuff that is supported by primary sources. Many articles by True Pundit based on his connections in the intelligence and law enforcement fall into the same category. My sense has been that board members have been frustrated by the number of removals and wanted to see more quality content left up, and that CDAN is quality content, though unverified.
Soon, we will have the ability for users to start referendums to call for a vote on something link "CDAN isn't research and belongs in v/pizzagatewhatever" or "Posts based on unnamed sources belong in v/pizzagatewhatever" and we will be able to gauge the community's stance.
Perhaps for now, the best solution is to deploy the "Unverified" flair on CDAN threads and others whose links lack traceable primary sources?

Thanks for all of the explanations. I do think it is important to differentiate between the type of posts. What if another "blind" site gets posted that does not have the "proven" track record of CDAN? For now this works, but could be a problem later. Not trying to be a troublemaker. The real problem is FEAR. People know things, but are afraid of retaliation if they tell the truth.
