Conspiracy Theory threads are always awful except for entertainment value.

"Is online poker rigged?" is a case in point. Monte at his best.

I'd be fine having a containment thread or some similar solution. I just think straight up deleting posts and temp-banning posters for complaining about it is a bad look on the forum, and it's just going to fan the flames of the conspiracy theories even more.

Footage of one person committing voter fraud is not proof of organised or systemic voter fraud, any more than footage of one person shoplifting is evidence of a crime wave. Please keep that in mind.

(Edit: this was in response to a deleted post from a gimmick account).

If you as a poster has an issue regarding this you want to bring to the table, research it properly and do your due diligence first. Don't automatically trust a pundit, tweet or video. Genuinely try to prove yourself wrong, and if you fail then proceed.

I am not a fan of "cite or ban" since it puts me in the uncomfortable position of having to be an arbiter of truth, but I will use it if I have to on this if people insist on posting the same stuff after lock / removal.

This has now been discussed among the mods. There will not be a riggie containment thread in the immediate future.

Perhaps down the road we will allow one. For now we'll focus on keeping the election discussion free of unsubstantiated accusations, with "cite or ban" potentially on the books. This election is heated enough as it is.

Scotusblog is an excellent blog about the supreme court, not the official blog of the supreme court. Not sure if that is what you are saying here.

Never claimed it came from SCOTUS. I'm confused why a opinion by SCOTUSblog would get deleted as "fake".

I was under the assumption they deleted it because they thought it was a scotusblog copy cat.

I deleted the blog because, well I'm not informed and (as you would expect) have little time to mod Politics right now other than to ban noobs and delete bad posts. This appeared to be the latter.

The SC blog is independent of the SC.

Opinion.

my bad...... looked fake to me.

You used the term 'official'. It's not. It's unofficial commentary and has no connection with the Supreme Court and no legal authority.

I said it's the official soctusblog twitter account, other words, its not a copy cat pretending to be scotusblog.

Guess next time I'll say the real one, but that runs into the same problem.

Scotusblog is a legitimate entity to which the mod erroneously thought was fake, or erroneously associated it to SCOTUS, but it was the real scotusblog that has a very good reputation.

It's unofficial, it's not a legal journal of record, it's not legal advice and it's 'for information only', but yes, it is widely consulted and is considered credible.

Is your tweet from the official scotusblog twitter account or is it this fake one?

https://mobile.twitter.com/SCOTUS_blog

Get it yet?

Nothing about my post indicated it had anything to do with the actual SCOTUS saying something.

Stop pretending I'm the one making a mistake with the context in regards to "official"

I'm talking about an official, or a real Twitter account associated with scotusblog website. Not an official SCOTUS entity. You can't distinguish between the two, that's not my problem.

Besides, I never used the word official in the original post that got deleted anyways so this is all ******* moot.

I didn't lock it but seems like a no-brainer lock. People are already celebrating in 3 or 4 other threads.

Also, if Trump won I would have 100% locked all the threads made by rightys just to troll the libs.
