Many users who tried to edit the site are blocked largely because they hold non-conservative views. People wanting to join and edit Conservapedia need to know that the administrators largely do not condone endless debate, and the wiki is not designed to be an avenue for people to "disprove" conservative ideals. Because of this, users should be aware that Conservapedian administrators usually have a low tolerance for trying to add what they consider "liberal bias" to articles, as well as long discussions on article talk pages. There is a debate namespace deticated towards debates, but the administrators also expect users to contribute positively to mainspace articles. | ||
