Conservapedia is a wiki written from a conservative Christian point of view. An "assume good faith" policy is not practiced there; rather, editors easily come under a cloud of suspicion as being possible infiltrators and undercover satirists, and it is quite easy to be banned based on such suspicions alone. Participation in RationalWiki can also be deemed sufficient cause for banning, as Conservapedians regard RW as a "vandal site." Many Conservapedia editors have fled to Ameriwiki, which has a considerably more laid-back culture. Conservapedia has been cited as one of five (if not one of the top five) terrifying bastardizations of the Wikipedia model.[1]
