WebSleuthsReviews 106

Instead of fostering productive discussions and exchange of opinions, the platform has devolved into a mere link collection service, primarily serving the interests of promoting certain media products, such as podcasts, at the expense of genuine dialogue.

Attempts to engage in meaningful discussions or share opinions are met with censorship and suppression, with users being swiftly removed or silenced if their views do not align with those of the admin staff. This heavy-handed approach not only discourages genuine participation but also creates an atmosphere of distrust among users.

Furthermore, the lack of transparency and accountability regarding the site's operations raises serious concerns about its integrity and legitimacy. It's high time for relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into Websleuths.com to ensure that it upholds ethical standards and respects the rights of its users. Websleuths.com falls far short of its purported mission to provide a platform for amateur sleuths and true crime enthusiasts.

Most of the members posting on Websleuths dot com can be linked right back to Patricia Griffith's computer. Websleuths is an orchestra of fictitious members all being played by one lonely person with a mouse and keyboard. In the end it's just sad music.

Where do I begin? Young black men or boys are always "gang bangers" (tip of the hat to Katydid23, total racist $#*!), DA and Prosecutors are always leg-hump worthy (the "Juanettes" in the Arias trial-although he was later disbarred for being a sexual predator) and anyone who posts against the MAGA loons gets a month-long "Time Out". Oh! And lazy-assed Tricia who begs for money NON STOP but cannot be arsed to know any details of the crimes she features on her lame assed podcast. Moderators are akin to Gestapo and allow racist $#*!s to post whatever, but if you report it, you get the ban. If Sean Hannity were a message board, it would be Websleuths. ***CarlK is amazing, however. I have no idea why his talents are wasted in that $#*!hole***

Somebody posted something positive about Trump in a Trump thread and got absolutely eviscerated by and condescended to by the sad old biddies who have a relentless anti-Trump agenda to keep alive on Websleuths. AZPistonsGirl was especially nasty and provoking which is probably a good sign that the old hag should put down the box o wine and step away from the Internet.

Why anyone still uses this site is beyond me.
I see Tricia is bull$#*!ting about not making enough funds again and the threatening her members that the server is going to go down unless she raises 2000$ LMAO.
The most bizarre thing is, there is actually people donating their hard earned cash to her via PayPal, venmo and cash app. WAKE UP PEOPLE! She has endless ads on her website, as long as everyone keeps visiting her site (which they seem to be doing, you can check stats online) then she makes her money through the ads. So why the F are you donating any money to her? She is using you. She is lying to you. She is a fat lying fraud who is out right now now spending your money on her self.
How dumb do you have to be to actually send this $#*! money?

Absolutely idiotic forum. Everything others have said is true. The most childish, petty, inconsistent moderators you can imagine. This site serves absolutely no use beyond that of the comment section on an article and a showcase of the profound media illiteracy of a particular demographic.

I was timed out and then asked for a ban after *politely* suggesting that a misleading thread based on debunked (and slanderous) misinformation should be adjusted. "Do not tell us how to do our job! We've been doing this since 1995!" Yep. Websleuths: Slandering people and spreading rumors since 1995.

Come to this site and expect to be fully censored if your opinion differs from the fascist moderators and their militant cliques. They are the first ones to scream the smear "fascist" at anybody they don't like when in reality they exhibit all the signs of a fascist organization.

Websleuths is not worth anyone's time. Controlled by sad, rude Admins and moderators who live to harass members. What people on here have stated about the person who goes by the name Sillybilly is true.

Websleuths is a very wierd place to talk about crime and missing people. They will delete sourced information they do not agree with while leaving unsourced information they do agree with. Not really a site for actually talking about cases, just confirmation bias and mod bullying, might be a little racist to.

Avoid

I've been a member for 6 years, had a decent post karma, but every single thing I said they had a problem with. They apparently have a 'point' system? That they arbitrarily give you points on your account, and some stay forever and you have 3 strikes or some $#*!. CocoChannel was following me around, editing every comment, and I said 'people in Idaho are mostly conservative' Banned. Because apparently you can't say anything about politics? I hadn't posted in years and I guess I pissed off someone in 2017 and Silly Billy was asking why I said something in 2017...like why would I remember lol. Idiots. All complete idiots. Rules aren't clear and are arbitrarily enforced...also they get mad if you report racism. They are racist af.

This site gets off on power tripping mods who cannot come to a consensus on the terms of service for using the site.

This fake web site is totally inaccurate. Fake news to make money from customers and advertisors. They should be sued for libel! Don't believe anything you read here!

Very funny. Personable presenter. Talks about latest interest everyone wants to know about. Has on Great guests.

Moderators are dictators, rude, bossy. Website is unclear and confusing.
Hard to use... Giving comments or reading comments

This is a ridiculous site operated by people who totally discourage any discussion that might shed light on a crime. Admins and mods spend their time deleting so many posts that conversation becomes meaningless and repetitive. This is not to say members should be allowed to dox suspects or attack people who have no obvious connection to the crime, but risk assessment means talking about what and who the victims have been exposed to. WS has the potential to be a thoughtful and enlightening group, but not in the hands of present owner and her jackbooted admins and mods. Plus she's having a feud with another presenter on YouTube, and everyone is expected to back-up her quarrel. The only good thing is that membership is free because participating isn't worth one red cent.

It's a good place to find all of the information by Law enforcement and any witnesses in a Crime. Everything that is being said or has been said is in one place, but it is EXTREMELY limited in discussion. The moderators are extremely rude, and delete posts for some ridiculous reasons. They will not allow any questioning of their choice to allow or not allow certain sources, in fact they will NOT allow any criticism of them at all. They put members in Time Out when they break rules, not allowing them to post comments for 3 days. Its like we are 10 yr olds. They also have strict rules and a lot CANNOT be discussed that can be discussed on Twitter, Reddit, and Youtube. Only that said by law enforcement and the mainstream media sources Websleuths choose.

From the start I said the family of Debbie Collier should be left alone. I suggested self inflicted death by butane inhalation.but it didn t fit their narrative to proffer off of another person s suffering so SillyBilly a/k/a bullybilly banned me from the site and said that she was keeping the site s owner aprised of my "not swell" remarks. Avoid this site like the plague if you want to retain a modicum of your human decency...

Websleuths is beyond awful. I'm not sure there are words to describe how awful. The site is run by a clique of power users who dominate the discussions and run you off the boards if you don't bow down to their opinions. Worse than that, the moderators do the same. They pick a pet theory or suspect and then snip, edit, delete or outright ban you if you don't go along with their narrative. It's like dealing with the group of mean girls that run the halls of the junior high school.

The name of the site is extremely misleading. You are not allowed to sleuth or investigating anything and may only submit information from cherry-picked sources, which are at the moderator's sole discretion. If they don't like your source or what it says they just delete it. If you question why the moderator did that they simply put you in "Time Out" and revoke your posting privileges for a few days or weeks.

Also beware it's like the Hotel California. Once you sign up (giving them your personal information) you cannot leave. There is no option to delete your account. They hold it hostage forever to keep their membership numbers up - even if they've permanently banned you! Also beware you'll start getting tons of email spam as soon as you give them your email address (I did anyway).

All in all, there is nothing positive to be said about this social media site. The site is also overrun by an absurd amount of ads. And constant unprofessional begging for money, which is super annoying.
