Conspiracy Theories

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you feel about forum posts that are conspiracy theories being posted on your forum?

Is this something you allow?

If yes, do you watch it or take any sort of precautions?

If not, why don't you allow it?

Popular and controversial conspiracy theories posted on forum these days include topics like white genocide, staged school shootings, flat earth, government conspiracy, etc.

I have no problem with them. Encourage them in fact. They tend to get a ton of posts. Everyone loves a good conspriracy.

They can definitely draw in some activity but also spark some pretty crazy toxic debates.

So, you have to try to keep an eye on them.

How do you draw the line between conspiracy theories and misinformation?

That's definitely the hard question for this sort of thing.
