Yesterday I made the following post...
ATTENTION - No more posts or comments promoting Violence
We are changing the rule back to where comments and posts promoting violence being removed, applies to submission posts only.
Apparently, us mods should have no right to delete comments that are not ad spam and do not violate US law. (But, since we are not an adult subverse, we have the right to remove pornographic images posted in comments).
I am sorry if I caused confusion, or am letting you guys down. A lot of you have wanted this and agree with it. Before you go telling me off, I want to let you know that I am completely against promoting violence. I think promoting violence makes the Q community look bad, which is supposed to be about unity and not division (although some subs seem to ignore that part of Q’s message).
Promoting violence goes against everything Q stands for. That’s the shit the Dems are pulling and getting away with. I think promoting violence makes Trump look bad because the left wants to make Trump and Trump supporters out to be terrible people. I think the mainstream media loves reading and using those posts so that Q followers are not only made out to be conspiracy theorists, but violent hate groups. . All the more reason to want to shut down free speech sites and make people not want to follow Q or support Trump. But, the following is what I think would be the perfect scenario for these sick fucks to use. They used it on Gab recently...

As much as I am against changing the rule back, I’m going to do it because I respect Voats culture. Q used to reference posts from Reddit. They got shut down. Their free speech was taken away. When all the Reddit Refugees showed up, we welcomed them. If it were not for this place, we would have nothing. When r/GreatAwakening got banned, eventually Q fully endorsed QRV as the Reddit Replacement Sub. Obviously that means Q approved of Voat. We should respect it. Free speech has its pros and cons. But at least we don’t have to worry about being banned. Not unless the deep state comes after us for retards posting about violence.
Having said that, I found this article that helps describe what is legal and what is not. Comments that are not illegal are allowed. If it’s a submission, it is not allowed. So, please only ping us for those. There’s nothing we can do about the comments unless it’s a very direct threat. Those are great ones to downvote.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Nobel Lecture*, December 11, 1964
"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."
