I've replied here. I do agree that rule 1 should be changed from elite to "those with authority and power" simply just to address the wider issue of how the elite use not-elites as figurative body shields.

At this point the attempts to slide and sow dissent are now at a level that no matter the rules they will still try. It's time to open the trap so they may fall in blindly.

I think we pretty much decided that leaving things as-is was the way to go for now. Happy to open it back up if you want to even bother with it.

As for the rule change, as an investigative subverse meant to go after those doing these things, what use is opening it up to lower level grunts like military personnel or police officers? What could possibly come from investigating them?

And IF something could come from it, why is that investigation not being done by whomever thinks there's a link before posting it here? If there actually IS a link, it'll stay up per the rules, right?

It basically opens us up to any "possible link" of any low-level scumbag with a little power being considered pizzagate material. That's what was happening with that 314 shill "user"

I get it, I do understand.
But the elites use their underlings as a shield and to create plausible deniability, which is exactly why Demmink has been able to get away with it for so long.

It's been shown for sometime now in the community that this issue is a contentious one.

I'm understanding both sides of the calls to change it and leave it be.

Something that could help fix the issue is to require a chain of links and connections to the elites in every not-elite focused post, or to show where in the network the individual sits.
This is a hard problem to solve, but the elites are very successfully hiding behind any and every low level scumbag and through that they are able to distance themselves.

I'm going to sit on this for a bit while the current wave of attacks on the mods runs out of steam and see if the community can figure out how they're allowing themselves to be controlled by these types of misleading discussions.

For now nothing needs to be done, but something does need to be done eventually.

I agree. I think we might be talking past each other above, but hashing it out now is really not an efficient way to go about it since we all seem to agree on the short-term waiting game.
