RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

I want YOU

Thanks for your support. Problem is I don't even know what the position is expected to do after being in it for 6 months.

Vote Ace - I promise to instigate more defined rules as well as a mod removal policy.

AceVote Ace for Mod!20:22, 14 December 2011

More defined rules like, for example, if Ace thinks you're a troll, you will be summarily desysopped and blocked for 3 months.

Nope, because then I would be removed from office under the new guidelines I wish to debate and instigate

AceVote Ace for Mod!20:32, 14 December 2011

And what has prevented you from doing this up until now?

-- Nx / talk20:33, 14 December 2011

What the fuck? I have been extremely vocal about the poor behaviour of some of the mods (mainly you) and stressed something needs to be done but not one of you fuckers listen. All I get is "What do you want us to do about it" or "There is nothing we can do".

Yeah, your "the system sucks" criticism was extremely constructive.

-- Nx / talk20:37, 14 December 2011

And yet you've avoided criticizing yourself

"Shut up, Brx."21:57, 14 December 2011

You should try it yourself sometime.

What makes you think I don't?

"Shut up, Brx."22:03, 14 December 2011

You have repeatedly demonstrated a crippling lack of self-awareness.

Here is a tip for you Brx: Before making a comment firstly you should think "Is what I am about to say going to help a situation or not". Next, "Do the people involved in the discussion want my input?". If the answer to either of these is "no" then don't comment. I hope this has been enlightening for you.
