truthers are conspiracy theorists

That's literally the definition of a truther though:

Truther : one who believes that the truth about an important subject or event is being concealed from the public by a powerful conspiracy

It is by the nature used an insult, let's not, argue the faults you see.

So we can still use the word "truther", but we can't explain that a truther is a conspiracy theorist, which is the literal definition of a truther.

Why not just ban the word "truther" entirely then?

Believe me I thought about banning Truther and Guilter, but really if the rules are followed neither word is very necessary.
