| − | Expanded server capacity should be how Conservapedia fixes its problems. That means having Admin with judgement and reason, not just goons with sledgehammers who like to play ''Space Invaders'' and smash their enemies.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | That means establishing [[Sysop accountability]] and [[dispute resolution]]. There's a lot that can be learned from the experience of larger platforms in dealing with trolls, vandals, problematic editors, disruptions, disputes, etc. Everytime it's suggested, reformers are shouted down and accused of being "[[liberal]]". [[Conservapedia]] ceased being a "[[meritocracy]]" a long time ago. It's [[anarchy]] with unaccountable sysops.

| − | :[https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA%3D%3D_8302afb3-fbaa-4583-9b27-6eb89ed6d8bc What is the probability that expanded server capacity fixes Conservapedia's timeout problem? Please take into account that Conservapedia uses MediaWiki version 1.24.2. Please also consider MediaWiki setting adjustments, Conservapedia does not use Cloudflare and and the likelihood that better and very economically DDOS mitigation solutions are available and that server capacity may not be the problem but server configuration may be the issue?]
