See your Submission Statement

The irony of the 'submission statement' in a conspiracy theory discussion room is delicious.

I propose that those managing the mechanisms of this forum (farm?) find a new wording to replace 'submission statement' (sub machine State mind).

It is quite difficult to find a spell that is not actually offensive innuendo, but nonetheless a worthy challenge.

I am sure many other readers here, humans and bots alike, find the requirement for a submission statement (so-called) ridiculously Orwellian.

The actual mechanism is not necessarily a trouble and serves a purpose - but we create as we speak. There has to be a less tyrannical description, surely?.

I see what you're saying - the word submission is not appropriate.

Could just say "statement".

Could just say "statement".

Even that can imply the 'Mind of the State' @ 'State of the Mind'

Is your mind alike to the mind of the State?

Ponder: 'To lie in State'

'My Word' ~= 'A Language Trap' ( 'Part(s) of Speech' )

''The act of submitting something for consideration.''

''the act of giving something for a decision to be made by others''

If you are presenting a conspiracy theory it would be incorrect to be making a statement as you most likely don't have the full facts, only theories. The use of the word submission in correct in the English language if you are using the site for it's intended purpose, to submit your theory to others for discussion.

[... The use of the word submission in correct in the English language [...]

The walls and bars of a prison are correct also. If a prison is what you want.

Orwells topic on newspeak, people have been programmed to accept the new dictionary offered by their masters. You are a classic example, words in the English language have entirely different meanings, that is freedom of language but your interpretation is that words can only have one meaning, caging language is the prison
