Suggestion 'the next'

Clicking on Recent Changes - last 500 edits' shows some 190 of said edits being made (probably more when I save this entry).

When there is such a flurry could there be a 'fox in the chicken coop pause' (whatever the cause of the disagreement). Anna Livia (talk) 19:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

It is better to let things play out. Otherwise resentments will build up and constructive corrections will not happen.S'chn T'gai Spock (talk) 07:58, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

May I suggest a Mega Chicken Coop?


I suggest having a mega Chicken Coop? The site keeps descending further and further into madness and acrimony. It's time to permaban all existing users and start from scratch.Traverse (talk) 09:40, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Why has there been a dramatic rise in chicken coops beginning in 2018?

I looked at the Chicken Coop archive list. There has been a large rise in the number of Chicken Coops since the year 2018. Why is this happening? ^{— Unsigned, by: TommyG / talk / contribs} 09:56, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

People losing their shit at each other more leads to people using the Coop more. Outside of that; occasionally we get driveby editors posting very passionate coops about shit that is already resolvable on talkpages or doesn't need much discussion which leads to a bloated archive count. Techpriest ^{(I am Alpharius! / / / )} 11:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Why is there more disputes between RationalWiki editors since 2018? TommyG (talk) 15:09, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Bear in mind a fair amount of these coops go nowhere (no penalty votes and such). The number of archived cases is not the same as the number of serious cases.-Flandres (talk) 15:11, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

There seems to be more hostility between RationalWiki editors since 2018. I was wondering why this is the case.TommyG (talk) 15:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Is there really more hostility though? I just told you you are basing your conclusion off faulty data. Heck, given that in older times "one archive" didn't even equal "one case" like it does now, you're basing this off of...nothing, really.-Flandres (talk) 16:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hardly. RW editors have always quarreled and fought. This probably stems from there being an abundance contentious topics of discussion which parties feel strongly about. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 16:22, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

From the beginning of RW in its present form there were endless battles about just about everything. And those fights were often a lot worse then anything seen in the last few years. What has changed is a desire to bring such fights to the coop.Bob ^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 20:34, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Go JAQ off somewhere else. We all know your thesis: that our site is just so awful and filled with such discord and strife, caused by a select group of individuals we've already heard far too much about. IveBeenFrank (talk) 18:21, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia has much more international editor base. And despite having people from a wider variety of cultures, it has less contention than RationalWiki.

In addition, RationalWiki enforces secular, leftist groupthink more. Wikipedia offers a freer editing experience.TommyG (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

There certainly has recently been a large rise in the amount of brand new accounts, most likely too chickenshit to troll Rationalwiki under their prior handles (or maybe it's someone banned in a prior coop, who knows), moaning about the past for reason. Someone be mad. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

"Wikipedia is more civil" I can't even.... Every time I go to a Wikipedia page on a controversial (or "controversial) topic, it's either full of passive agression or just plain aggression. Given our bread and butter articles are contentious topics, one might think that this might cause... contention... ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 19:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

If RationalWiki tries to ban the world in order to enforce secular, leftists groupthink, of course there is going to be more new accounts and more trolling as well.

If RationalWiki's bread and bread butter topics are contentious topics, perhaps it is attracting a more contentious editor base. I am seeing more coop cases than what previously occurred.TommyG (talk) 19:32, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

You're just iterating what has been said and addressed. Actually counter the argument or stop being so disingenuous. --It's-a me,

This is a troll, so this person won't stop. I predict some moan about the decline of atheism or something from this account in the future. They should just give up and go to Conservapedia for the religious right-wing groupthink nonsense they want. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 20:12, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

I have no doubt that sometime soon conservapedia is going have an “essay” about “atheism and the chicken coop at a certain site beginning with R”. Ace ^{://about blank} 20:58, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

In 2018, RationalWiki appears to have had 300% more web traffic than in 2020. And yet, in 2018 there are 17 Chicken Coop archive pages and in 2020 there are 22 archived Chicken Coop cases.[1]

RationalWikians are spending more time pecking at fellow editors in its Chicken Coops. The audience for these Chicken Coops is much smaller though.TommyG (talk) 21:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Now, I agree when that USHistoryAnalyzer troll tries to start a coop against Plutocow simply because their edits were reverted on the basis that they weren't very good, imagine that level of pettiness, I would not start a coop against someone else here just because they are being annoying. Otherwise, the coop against Ace was completely justified, he is toxic. Ace better be gone by the time the mods elections come. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 00:00, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Sigh, save this spat about Ace for another time, and do not feed the troll here. --It's-a me,

@TommyG Hi Ken. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 00:05, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

How would I know he was Ken Dolls? He is far more subtle than Michael Coombs. MarioSuperstar77 (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

@MarioSuperstar77 - I better be gone by the time the mod elections happen. Hey... fuck you pal. I ain’t going anywhere. Asshole. Ace ^{://about blank} 03:20, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, that comment against Ace was bad, as was the coop that led to it.

Extended content

How the fuck are Ace and HBC productive? Compare their edits with my edits for one. I think you'll notice a marked distinction between Ace and HBC, who mostly troll talk pages, and my edits, which are overall at least partially constructive. When was the last time HBC edited WIGO, the Annotated Bible, or mainspace? Same goes for Ace. Menace (talk) 18:21, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Your account has three edits, who are you? Christopher (talk) 18:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Isn't it obvious?-Flandres (talk) 18:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Low quality bait; the last time HBC edited the main WIGO was March 30. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 18:27, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Could be multiple people, but given that the user seems to dislike "liberal centrists", the timing of their account creation, and their first edit, well...CorSock (talk) 18:46, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I love how you all ignore the fact that I was the one who promoted myself from tech in the first place, and yet HBC gets lauded for "integrity" for promoting themselves when it was probably gonna happen anyhow. Menace (talk) 08:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Retiring the coop

I think the community showed many times now that we can handle problems without going into HCM. I think we can archive this page and further sanctions can be voted on ATIM. GeeJayK (talk) 12:49, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
