:-) I could get onboard with that.

I suspect we'd lose most of our uses with a two week idle time out.

I don't have the exact title but it was close to "Black dudes murder racists white bitch" and it was a video of 3 men stabbing a women then cutting her head off with a machete.

That's a good idea but i still don't have 1000 comment karma on TD.win -- I had it on reddit.

I'm not suggesting an end to lurking. We wouldn't become private, but we have diluted our lurking value by allowing new users to post bad information, shilling, trolling, and outright attacks.

It's tough to strike a balance between growing and allowing us to be compromised through new users. I'm only suggesting a pause until decent solutions are found.

Definitely not. This is a club, lets make it exclusive until we build up our mod team.

That's not how invite-only works. Members can invite members, and we'll have record of who invited who. So if one of the invites is a shill -- then we know a chain of shills.

It's not a free speech issue. We only allow Trump supporters here -- if that's your argument then you disagree with the foundation of the site.

They posted a video of three black dudes decapitating a white women in Africa to get people on here to say racist things.... then they get to scoop up those comments, out of context, and use it to pressure cloud flare to drop us and the rest of America to call for even more legislation -- like rounding us all up for Gitmo. If that happens any other third parties we have will drop us too. We have rules here -- we are a club not a social media platform. It's not a free speech issue, we only allow Trump supporters.

We ban people for not being trump supporters... this is a club not a social media site.

Think of this site as you and your seven million buddies sitting around shooting the shit. Big tech has an army of echos -- we lose this we have no big voice.

I think we've capped out our deport capabilities. With all this new public exposure we need the ability to catch our breath and assess the situation. If we don't cloudflare will leave us to the sharks which are circling.

Cloudflare's knees are getting shaky man. We can't deport them all. You may only have reddit really soon.

We already undermine free speech with rule 1) Trump supporters -- that's a pretty damn restrictive free speech rule. This is a club -- not a public forum. I think it should be an invitation only club until we develop effective controls and build out the mod team. It's do or die.

I'm saying is we are under a microscope. You've seen how easily they were able to paint us after the 6th as being violent insurrectionists. You saw what they did to Trump. We are at war with big tech and this site is our country. We need war time strategy here. We are allowing the enemy in and they are undermining us. Before long cloudflare will expose the real addresses by dropping us, then the cloud servers we are hosted on will drop us right after. Even if we aren't cloud hosted then the ISP itself will turn us off.

I used the think that but at this point, these tech companies are virtual countries and we are at war.

I like this idea but the programming sounds hard.

Just think about it like a club. You don't just let anyone join. We already have 4chan.

You might have missed it's glory days. We used to be the arbiters of the truth and and had THE BEST intel. I still hope the best days are ahead but the shills and low IQ posts are demoralizing.

There's an active psyops against us and you don't want a wall and boarder control to keep them out and let only the good ones in? Deporting isn't enough -- they are back in two seconds later.

The good people from TD need to rise up and boot out the bad apples or we all perish.

See, you get it.

Nope, but we do need to clean house or we are dead.. and maybe not just figuratively. If the media can convince people that everyone who used this site is a domestic terrorist then Gitmo for everyone.

I'm not suggesting anything permanent but we need to get a handle on the game the intelligence community and Antifa are playing with us until a reasonable long term solution is found.
