Revision as of 03:40, December 31, 2015
, 03:40, December 31, 2015How the "See also" section came to be that way.
The "See also" section seems a bit overdone. Might want to trim that down a bit.

:OK, I've cleaned it up. Now, as a full-fledged editor at Conservapedia, you're ready for "the talk".
:There's an enormous amount of garbage here—complete articles and huge "see also" sections and the like, put in about a year ago by [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt]], commonly known as "TAR". Basically, he was a survivalist, and attempted to turn the place into a survivalist blog. He filled a huge number of pages with the sort of stuff that you saw. He apparently believed that we should all quit our jobs, cash in our assets to buy guns and bullets (that's why you see so many pages on those topics), and move to "free states" like Idaho, living "off the grid" to survive the apocalypse.
:A number of people complained about his behavior on the [[Community Portal]], sections 16 ''et. seq.''; note my lengthy complaint in section 18.
:He was given block rights. He basically terrorized the whole place for several months. The admins, who should have been trying to keep CP true to its mission as a resource for students, did nothing.
:He plastered a huge block of stuff in many places (I think I once counted the same block in 45 places) in various article pages that had nothing to do with him. You can see a sample on [[User Talk:SamHB|my talk page]] at sections 23 ''et. seq.''
:Then he disappeared. People asked about him, and Cons claimed to be in some kind of communication with him, and that he had indicated that he would come back [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:AugustO&diff=prev&oldid=1156476 in September 2015]. He didn't. So I am now trying to clean up the mess.
