A definition without a source. Which I can say with utter certaincy that is not of a definition of a conspiracy theory but that of a definition of a conspiracy. Which is why you didn't link a source because we all know that it would lead to conspiracy and not conspiracy theory. Don't play nonsense semantic games just because you want to write an inappropriate diatribe against conspiracy theorists. You want to talk about conspiracy theories, you can do so with a proper example and this isn't it. Match fixing accusations are not under what we call conspiracy theories and you know it. Yoda was certainly matchfixing. Was he part of a conspiracy theory? No, he was not. He was conspiring, but to theorise he is conspiring is not a conspiracy theory. Would matchfixing accusations of Yoda be a conspiracy theory even if he was not match fixing? That is a theory about a conspiracy. Again this cannot be descibed as a conspiracy theory. | ||

con·spir·a·cy the·o·ry /kənˈspirəsē ˈTHiərē,ˈTHirē/ noun a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event. "they sought to account for the attacks in terms of a conspiracy theory" Definitions from Oxford Languages TL is not a covert organization but it can be argued to be influential, and maybe the mods that are silencing the claims of match fixing are part of a covert organization which profits from said match fixing? 😂 | ||

Defintions of Conspiracy theory: https://www.britannica.com/topic/conspiracy-theory Conspiracy theory, an attempt to explain harmful or tragic events as the result of the actions of a small powerful group. Such explanations reject the accepted narrative surrounding those events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory (yes wikipedia I know, but as a it goes much more in depth than a single line from an online dictionary. A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence. Lets list the ways this doesn't fit your definition anyways. TL.net is not covert. TL.net is not an influential organization. (Though we may wish it to be!) TL.net is not responsible for a circumstance or event. There is no explanation to reject in the first place. There is no accepted narrative, just Kwark replying to a question. It takes quite a leap of faith to go from someone asking why his post was banned to him implying that TL is somehow helping cover a matchfixing game. Which still doesn't fall under the umbrella of a conspiracy theory anyways. | ||

The guy didn't imply there is a conspiracy theory or a cover up or anything. He asked a question and the next post answered it. He seems satisfied by the answer. Then you decided to go on a random tirade about conspiracy theory. That's the exact event chain. I'm not the one who brought up the definition of a conspiracy theory (actually just conspiracy), that was JimmieC. I pointed out that a theory of a conspiracy is not a conspiracy theory. That's separate to the issue and I don't care what people think the definition is. Example: WESG 2018 Macsed vs diamond protoss. I made accusations of matchfixing. Thread was eventually closed. I asked why and got an answer. Where the conspiracy theory? | ||

Don't be a Danglars, because you want to win an internet argument. I don't care nor want to talk about your definitions of a conspiracy. Where did the guy wrote there is a conspiracy theory? You labelled him as a conspiracy theorist for no reason. He asked a reasonable question and got a reply from Kwark. That's all that happened. User was warned for this post. | ||

I did not label him a conspiracy theorist, I said he had presented a conspiracy theory, this was not a insult but a statement of fact. Having a conspiracy does not make someone bad, nor does believing it, it only becomes a problem when people start treating their theories like facts. You agree he spoke of a conspiracy, you agree he had a theory (did not have proof) why you think that is not a conspiracy theory is beyond me but by all means feel free to continue, you just will do so without me. Also, there is no need to insult me and I am nothing like Danglars. dmcd is right. i dont think you know how to use the term "conspiracy theory" properly. | ||
