We delete these on a regular basis, but not crazy theories which we disagree with....

I guess that goes to the heart of an important issue for both sites - "alternative" is fine, since who's to say they might not have a useful point, and "off topic" is equally tolerated. But what about "so crazy there's no chance they have a point" combined with "posted constantly".... There comes a time when it amounts to clutter, and detracts from the value of the site doesn't there?

Indeed, especially when the offender is repeatedly asked to stop posing on a theme that the majority find 'crazy' or offensive but fails to do so.

Yes, but that seems to be much more of a problem on TMA because people here reply to the bonkers brigade. You cannot argue with them as they are on a "divine mission" so its best to let their threads wither on the vine and die. They then lose the motivation to post because they don't get the attention that they crave.
