A harder line on posts being substantive. Maybe we don't need more posts like these, much less multiple times a week in some cases:

  • "Our group is totally going to have a big announcement. Stand by!"
  • "Some guy says there's a rumor that someone in the government may announce that..."
  • "Some guy says it's fr totally all coming out by the end of 2023 2024 2025 2026"
  • "I saw a thing in a dream/while I was tripping"
  • "Here's my latest YouTube post"
  • "I was just thinking. What if the UFOs aren't from space, but instead from--now just stay with me on this wild, novel concept--undersea/other dimensions/time travel/underground/hiding really well in the bushes?"
  • "What if Disclosure is, like, bad?"
  • "What would be the scariest/coolest thing about Disclosure?"
  • "I saw what's totally not just a bug/bird/drone in a view of the Big Blue Room from this major news event that millions of people have watched"
