As a wiki, Conservapedia occasionally attracts '''vandalism'''. Despite best guesses, we really cannot see how a vandal war on Conservapedia is winnable. Despite this, some people still day in, day out, create accounts here, for a few short moments of vandalism. So, to discourage that, we have put together an explanation for why this is an illogical move.

==So why is conservatism pointless?==

==So why is vandalism pointless?==

Conservatism is pointless because of 2 major factors. Denial of progress does not inhibit the course of time, and clinging with nostalgia to the rose-tinted images of a bygone era that was significantly less perfect than memory is futile. The corporate and upper-bracket tax rates during the idyllic 1950s -- the time seen as the epitome of conservative values in the United States -- approached 91% in some instances.  Trickle-down economics was merely a theory, religious and racial tolerances were at a low enough point to trigger the Civil Rights struggle of the following decade, and yet you people seem to ignore your own history rather than learn from it.

Vandalism is pointless because of 2 major factors. The pages are freely editable, and all revisions are logged. This means that as easily as you could come in and hit the edit button, someone else could do the same thing, and revert your edits, in a matter of clicks. Even if you try to copy paste a single phrase, and drive by as many as you can, it is still easily visible, from your own contributions log. This effectively means that your edits are only as visible, for as long as no other sysops or for that matter, users are around (hint: never). Furthermore, this will only earn you a swift ban/ip ban, and is not really worth the effort.

People can track edits - Anybody and everybody has the unnatural ability to track edits to articles without actually having to visit the articles. This little bit of magic is called [[Special:RecentChanges]] (for those who need help, it is linked to from "Special pages" on the left hand sidebar on every page). Vandals are always easy to spot - It's easy for said edit-trackers to spot vandals by certain qualities, so finding vandalism is even easier, especially on a relatively quiet wiki like this.
