Title: Petition to allow non-members freedom to post
Post by: MonkeySeeMonkeyDo on July 02, 2010, 06:01:01 PM
If you are in favor for allowing non-members to post anonymously say "Yes". If you are against it say "No".

My vote: Yes.

No.
1. I'm not concerned about creating the next "facebook" of the Truth websites. If TIU attracts a lot of people, then great. But I would rather have Good information here rather than crap.
2. I think the biggest thing on TIU so far was the "israhell did 9/11; all the proof in the world." That was a great post that put it all together for the people to see. Someone who wanted to make the argument had a place to click, and many sites posted here. If we want more people to come to TIU, I would suggest more good research.
3. We already get some people who post here (zionlover or some sh*t) who are obvious shills. It's annoying as hell. I think anonymous posting will just encourage that garbage.
4. I'm all for letting people express their opinions freely. I don't think TIU bans people too easily. But we don't need every kind of lunatic posting here. I remember at WUFYS there was/is? this crazy lady, literally on lots of meds who thinks she is Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, Mohamed, Krishna and the Ice Cream man. She kept posting videos talking about how she was fulfilling scripture, etc... Is that what we need to attract?

It might be amusing for a day or so, but after that I really it would get pretty annoying. I remember the comment section on Infowars articles which used to be anonymous and it was like an insane asylum; obvious government shills, people pretending to be government shills, black popers, patriotards, full on racist provacatuers and Zio-Jew deniers all stewing in an unintelligible cesspoll. I would hate to see TIU fall to that level just to get more hits.

Maz and CM bring up good points. If there was away to do it for selected threads then it would be funny and entertaining. but it would be annoying if trolls started to ruin quality threads that people put time into researching.

So I give a conditional Yes vote.

Okay well it's either that, or like 13 people here just tooting our own horns. Mods can clean shit up if it gets out of hands and do IP bans. Think about it.

I don't want to sound too zen...but
What are we trying to do/be here? Does having 26 people post make it a better blog than 13 people? What's the ideal number? I'm not being rhetorical. Is there a number that would be too great? Too small? Are we 13 people tooting out own horns, or are we 13 very excellent bloggers brought together on TIU?

What makes me look at TIU and want it to be something different? What am I looking for? What am I trying to fashion TIU into?

Is there a false ideal that I'm striving for?  
There are other blogs, but I spend most of my time on TIU because I like it the most. Why? I have never bothered to ask. I'm not going to waste a bunch of time praising this blog to people who already read it, but I could. Instead I will just assume there is some standard of quality that those others also find here.

We have a certain amount of accord, but also vigorous debate. We have many specialties; A wide variety of topics. For example I have been reading another really, really long CSR post about Jewish criminality and it's fascinating.

I guess my point is that we should focus on quality. We should make our own gold standard and bring it here. And if we get another great thread going here, then maybe people will come in throngs. And maybe some more like-minded people will stay. An old friend of mine used to say that, "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." Or maybe, "If you build it, they will come."

I agree, opening the doors here to everybody would render this site a trash heap. Trolls would love to target this site and we'd pay for it. It's ok if not everyone who reads the posts replies. At least they are reading them. If every other post is from some shill with nothing to say but bullshit then quality members will soon drop out. Sorry but I say 'no'. Don't open the flood gates.

What really needs to be asked is this...

What is so hard about signing up for an account here?  It's not that difficult.  I mean, yeah I lurked for a couple months before creating this account of mine here just to post.  Nothing wrong with that.  Must be that people really are fearful of being tracked by their government(s) if they have an account here, when they (govt) already knows whom or whom come here (via I.P. tracking).

This issue is small potatoes considering the literal future of all of humankind is at stake.

Perhaps some moderators who know what it takes to do the weeding can offer their thoughts, but I'd like to see it remain open for browsing but leave posting to members only.

Well, TIU is the first hit on Google for "Jew Corruption".  We are linked in many ways now. Jews would pile in if we open it up to all posters.

But, if we kept a thread open as "open for all" it might let in some interesting topics... and fights...;)

I vote NO, and agree that taking out the trash is too much to ask of moderators.
A recent "debate" I had on another forum convinces me that membership is a good idea. How many "members" at TIU don't ever post?....one thousand and something? We're lucky to have as little provocateur activity as we do. I'd like to see inactive members dropped from the rolls. If they want to post, they can join up again. Other forums with serious objectives are quick to control and expell 'joiners'.
I'm not out there making friends guys and people I challenge would be happy to see me quashed. As it is, there are TIU posters who don't like what I post. So be it.

As much as I like good debate, I've seen and been the brunt of "tactics" for attempting to pose questions, introduce evidence and open up sensitive subject matter. The result has been 'flagging', hacking and pursuit that causes me trouble.
..but I still like posting here, even when I get no general support.
Somewhere on the net, it's pleasant to think I have allies and get the benefit of the doubt.
Ultimately, posters will have to decide what they're trying to accomplish and what they're willing to tolerate. Exposing disinfo is tricky and tiresome and extremely difficult to do with interference.
If you allow any and all posters to vent here, count me out.

Well here's a thought: how about opening up just one section of the forum where anonymous users can post (members can post there too), but only one section and one section only. Anons could have a number for a certain length of time, kinda how they do at Godlike. We could bait that particular section of the forum with a good topic every day and engage with the anon. This section could also act as a penalty box for annoying posters or for any other forum offenses.

Anon's should be able to start threads too in that portion of the forum too, and if there are any particularly good topics posted by an anon, then one of the mods can move the thread to a member section of the forum. That may entice the users to create an account and become regular posters.

Craigslist allows anonymous posters.

if you try posting about anything to do with real-politics there, well, see what happens.

post a link and see how long before you are flagged for link spam.

i guess Craigslist is an example of a heavily moderated (pro-Zionist) forum that allows anonymous posting.


i come here to escape the Zio-trolls, and because of all the sh*t that's going on in the world, it's important to have places like that.

but it might make an interesting experiment to do it on one thread.  for example to have 2 copies of the "Israel did 9-11, All the Proof in the World" thread.  let anonymous posters post in one, as long as it doesn't compromise security.  it would be interesting but my guess is the permissions would have to be changed back to normal/ got to register/ moderated.

i have met corporate web trolls for the medical industry; i have 2 friends that are involved in lawsuits with one of those trolls because of the friends' whistle-blowing activities.

corporate web trolls are some of the most unpleasant people you will ever meet, and the thought of having the Zio-troll version of them here ... well, if we can put them in a zoo-type cage and watch them, it might be interesting, but we can't have them roaming all over the place leaving Zio-troll sh*t all over the place.

The answer is NO, I'm the current webmaster and I wouldn't know how to do it but if you want to post, register an account <:^0
