    It seem to me that over the relative little time i have been here there has been a dramatic increase in crazy people, ie. people who think they are God, create alternative profiles just to distract, write incoherent bullshit in all-caps, bring up the same tired paranoid rants again and again, etc.
    Now i dont doubt that many of these people really need professional help, and perhaps having a lot of people from here doing a mix of rediculing them and trying to convince them to see a doctor will eventually help them, but i feel that its something which distract the focus from those who have something coherent to say, and those who are sincere in asking for help.
    Secondly, i somehow got the feeling that crazy posters seem to multiply; for some this seem to be physically: once a person is succesful in posting from one account a new is quickly made. Im a bit worried that might end up lowering the quality.

    So basically i think it would be of some value to get some discussion going on this phenomena. So back to topic: Whats up with all those crazy people?

    I'll have you know that this board has a LOT of quality. It's just of the "lower" variety.

    I think that they are witnesses who are trying to do exactly that. Distract from the actual content and make this forum look fanatical. Maybe even high-ups who knows, they are irrational people.

    JWN is now one of the least monitored exJW sites, and as such has a relatively low bar of constructive participation. Not that it's a bad place or anything... just that there are a lot of fruitloops here.

    WAC you have no right to comment on this thread, LOL.

    hmm. which sites do you think are more monitored and by who, WTS or active JWs who are curious?

    Among the three most popular boards, JWN, JWS, and JWR, JWN seems to be the most hands-off of any of them (except for a few well-known issues like gay porn, lol). Not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

    I'm not talking about monitoring by Bethel or wtiness, i meant monitoring by admins.
