Will Encyclopedia Dramatica Survive?

Post by Mutineer » Tue Jan 02, 2018 2:01 pm

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a website I don't recommend generally because to me it's rather vulgar and certainly not safe for work. I can also see how some might interpret it as over-the-top humor. It does have some Wikipedia criticism on there.

Anyhow, it now faces a SLAPP lawsuit. That stands for "Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation." Put another way, it's a lawsuit that someone launches against somebody knowing he or she can't possibly afford to defend against it.

I've also noticed that most search engines (at least the ones I use) won't find the Encyclopedia Dramatica website, currently encyclopediadramatica.rs. I suppose that's because people complained about to search engine providers.

Some of the Wikipedia-related content there is the Arbcom entry, and then there's the "Wikipedia Admin Gallery" (https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Wikipedia_Admin_Gallery).
I am "Modsquad" here, and participate, but I don't want you to think we can't have an angry argument.
