Conspiracy Theory Question

[Delta Force]

So, what is considered to be a bannable conspiracy theory for the purposes of not getting banned? There are obvious ones, like Bush caused 9/11 and LBJ killed JFK, but would saying something like Flight 93 was shot down by the USAF (but the government did not attack the US) be considered grounds for a ban?

Instant banning?

Probably not.

Get you kicked in a hot second though.

What if it's for the purpose of world-building in a story, for instance, saying Putin had something to do with the death of Poland's president in order to push Poland into Germany's sphere of influence?

I can't see why anybody would ban you for having conspiracy in a story, since that's what half the modern thrillers are all about - conspiracy!

And while some might say you're pushing some sort of political agenda writing fiction set amongst modern politics, they don't have the right to stop you doing it, unless you are blatantly pursuing some sort of antisemitic agenda

Thank you. That's about what I thought as well, but I wanted to be sure.

Could you use conspiracy theories in ASB forums?
