Is FACT CHECKING something new being done on this site or has it always been done?

Just wondering!

When I saw that on my Notifications I was shocked, TBH. Shades of Facebook and Twitter.

@SW-User This is terrible. It makes no sense to take a poll and then get reprimanded for your response. For the most part, I'm blocking a majority of newbies because they feel like bots and take up too much room in my feed. [big][/big] We're entitled to our opinion as long as we aren't hurting anyone. Geesh.

I'm sorry that you're totally done with the site and it had to come to this. I, along with MANY will miss your presence. It's such a shame because you're one of the best members, in my humble opinion.😔🥀

@MoonlightLullaby The responses to the poll weren't addressed. The one who posted the poll was reprimanded and notices sent to people who probably had either voted, replied or gave a response with a heart, etc...

Thank you for your kind words. ❤️🙃
You can think about emailing for a couple days yet. :)

@SW-User Damn the admins. 🤨That's not fair and extremely biased.

Sure, I'd love that option. Thank you 🤗

That fact checking was in regards to saying something that an admin said and not having proof to back it up.

Basically don’t go around saying the admin said “xyz” without having proof or it will be fact checked.

@SW-User okay well what I was referring to was a user who said Admin said something to him about pedophiles and when they fact checked it there was no record of admin saying it.

I didn’t know anything about a poll about the new users.
SW-User
@iamonfire696 I know what you are referring to. I have nothing against you or you voicing your opinion.
I'm just not sure things were really exactly as put forward. I missed the whole thing.
As for admin.... I do know some things admin did on that poll one were deleted and redone. I can't prove it, but I saw the changes.
This is not my idea of a site I'd like to stay on.
Those notices showing up in my notifications makes no sense except admin want's to shame people they are not happy with.

@SW-User I understand where you are coming from.

Fact checking what?
Half these people are crazy and the other half mental... LoL
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User The platform here is much better, have to admit and it maybe coming here in the future, but they gave no warnings and suddenly you couldn't log on because they suspended your account.
They lied about the reasons to other members, as well ,telling them the person they kicked off had been repeatedly warned of misconduct when none was issued at all.
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain I see.... this site seems to be heading in that general direction. And the warnings now being pasted to some profiles just gives me the impression of shaming the people and shutting them up.

@SW-User Feel same way.

I always found it funny how someone out there is typing in what is fact and what isn't, and everyone takes it as the gospel 🤦‍♂️
Then i think yea, look at what all some believe😏

I started seeing it a few weeks back. I don't know if it was the same one you are talking about but it struck me as both disturbing and hilarious that someone would "fact check" someone for asking a question.
SW-User
@robb65 Yep... disturbing and hilarious! And ridiculous!
Thank you for commenting.
new-ish
Maybe its not consistent is all.
Maybe whoever does the support for SW is way behind?

The only one I've been informed about was a post from months ago.

If you mean the administrators of the site, then no, there's no official fact checking. It's up to individuals.
SW-User
@Northwest It's being done on this site by admins... about things they don't like being said about their site and themselves.... So, it's something more new happening.
I do not believe it's right to send out notices to other members when nuno and company "fact check" and discipline a user.

I don't even do those. I don't tolerate with human nature of Arguing. Thats not how I connect with Humans.

I always monitor everyone to be in their best Behavior.

If not? Just ignore them and they'll probably leave.


We don't need demons interfering people's Consciousness. I always prevent it of happening...I only see spirit. Not this pathetic world.
SW-User
Can you please provide some links to examples of fact checking on SW?
I've never ever seen fact checking on this website, certainly not in any official capacity by the admins. That's why misinformation is the norm here, from all the climate deniers, Covid deniers, US election deniers, etc. The absence of fact checking here is why I have half of the site blocked or vice versa. It's as much of a cesspool as Parler, Gab or Twitter.
SW-User
@SW-User I've never seen a fact check for anything not directly related to this site. I only see fact checks for a poll about new users here and something admins claim was never said.
Fact checking on this site is the last straw for me.
If I want to be fact checked... I want an ALL "fact based" site. This surely is not it.
SW-User
@SW-User Exactly!
SW-User
@nonsensiclesnail Admin... probably nuno... directed the user to delete certain comments.
SW-User
Stuck it under Misinformation and fake news for the hell of it. :)
