ADMIN NOTE:
We have some members starting idiotic rumors, disparaging specific Websleuths members and staff, and generally causing absolutely ridiculous drama outside of Websleuths. Members found to be doing so will be permanently banned from Websleuths.
To set the record straight:
We have no knowledge of whether case players, POIs or otherwise, are posting or reading here. This happens in other threads at times where new members start accusing other posters of being POIs or suspects.
And NO, WS Mods and Admins are not in collusion with members or case players or LE to somehow control information, other than information that is not permitted under Websleuths well established Terms of Service. If a post has been removed, it is not because WS staff are somehow trying to control the narrative, or are in cahoots with anyone; it is because it has violated TOS in some respect or, in the discretion and judgment of our staff member, it is somehow inappropriate. But please know that WS staff do NOT operate in isolation. Every single post that is removed is able to be seen by other Mods and/or reviewed by Admin and Tricia at any time.
So if someone thinks a WS staff member is colluding with a member or a POI, then the whole darn team must be part of this conspiracy right on up to the owner of Websleuths
Any suggestion or accusation of such a collaboration is absolute nonsense.
