[META WOO WOO] Is it normal that posts get deleted here if its about free energy and overunity?

[Martaine2005]

I doubt that either! The VIP just means we asked for it!
Many forums have an area to ask. Normally like an introduction section or a first come, first served area!.
The members have a vote or something! A little like Free Masons, it's a club! I guess..

Hi. This is what a moderator looks like.

I generally leave "free energy" and similar woo woo threads open until one of the following occurs:

1) It becomes clear that the person is obsessed with magical thinking or conspiracy theories.
2) The response to skeptical argument reduces to personal abuse.
3) The poster leaves to post their findings on a physics forum and to await their Nobel prize.
4) We decide to help reduce the embarrassment for the poster if someone Google's their user id in the future.
5) Its becoming tiresome or repetitive.

As to whether the moderators make mistakes, sure. As a team we operate on a consensus basis and we regularly discuss actions before and after they're taken. As to whether the consensus position has been wrong, the normal members are the ones to comment on that.

Over unity requires one of two things, either the laws of thermodynamics have exceptions, or there is some other source of energy being exploited. The first case is a physics issue, and the second is either a physics issue or fraud.

If we discount fraud (quite generous I think) then clearly what is left needs to be looked at by physicists.

Until the physicists confirm the discovery (and thereby share fame, fortune, and your Nobel prize), we will take the default position that your discovery is unproven.

If you've built a device and it almost works, then that is exactly what is expected. It's like pulling yourself into the air by pulling really hard on your bootstraps. No matter how hard you pull, you just need to pull a little harder to achieve your goal.

If you've built something that works, then you're mistaken, a fraud, or well on your way to a Nobel prize, fame, fortune, and the eternal worship of all humanity. The last option is above our pay grade.

I deleted the thread and in the deletion message, I messaged you telling you it was garbage or words to that effect

There is no such thing as free energy or overunity devices

We DO NOT entertain such threads here. They will either be closed or deleted, at the moderator's discretion



regards

Dave

in addition and as per the forum rules that were supposed to have been read when signing up ....

Moderation Guidelines:

Our first priority at Electronics Point is to ensure that friendly and safe discussion can flow freely on the site. However, there are times that moderators and administrators may have to step in and lock a topic, remove/edit content, or even ban a member in extreme circumstances. We have a zero tolerance policy on spam, and aim to remove it as quickly as possible.

Some topics may be considered inappropriate, unsafe, unethical or offensive. We are likely to moderate content which strays into following areas (this list is not exhaustive):

- Weapons
- Spy tools
- Hacking/Piracy
- Personal or public risk
- Offensive or threatening behaviour
- Spam
- General off-topicness
- Pseudo-science

We consider some topics to be dangerous in less experienced hands (for example, mains powered circuits, high voltage/current, repairs to switching power supplies, etc...). We try to tailor our responses and advice to your perceived or demonstrated level of experience, but in some cases it may be that we feel we cannot give advice if we consider it is unsafe. If you think we've made a poor judgement call, tell us - this applies both to us assuming you know less than you do, or the reverse. By the same token, don't assume that advice offered to others is applicable to you. If in doubt, ask.

In these forums we assume that the established laws of physics are true (this applies even in the knowledge that a discovery tomorrow might alter them). If you're going to tell us they're not, or if your device requires that they're not, then this is not the place to discuss it. Any threads that engage in pseudoscience will be moderated at our discretion. They are a huge waste of time in virtually every case.

ie. anything that goes against the known and established laws of physics

cheers
Dave

I know it sounds stupid, but there must be something about it if there are so many ppl building that thing.

There also is a saying "Eat S***t, millions of flies can't be wrong"

Sorry, I am not sure if this site has moderators!

Sometimes it may look like we're not being moderate at all.
And therefore I will lock this thread all the same as Dave has locked the other one by MystD.

@MystD: This is not meant to ban you from our forum.Just stick to the rules and you'll find lots of friendly people offering help when the issue is not non-sensical (Oh, I know, double negations are hard to swallow).
