@Crensch I'm late to the party, apparently, as I last logged in a couple of days ago, came tonight to find this hot mess. I'm all about free speech, but the outside trolling here has become ridiculous! There are many subs in Voat that can satisfy any goat's needs and preferences. So why not go to those subs? Maybe stay in your lane? However, outside control freaks will not do so. That's what's happening here. 9/10 Speech, only under these circumstances. Independence, and do what's needed! You have my support.

There appears to be a contradiction. If something is “self- evident , as an example, then the word “self-evidence” does not need to be repeated all the time does it; it can be uttered only once, or twice at the most, or even thrice or more, you no doubt see the point here, less it devolve to verbal mendacity, an arcane academic lingo that never reflects reality and whose main purpose is to lead to flawed conceptualization, or as so often the case, duplicitous scientific jargon masking ignorance. Certainly detractors would argue the inverse of this though the point would likely be obscure. Ironically, seldom has the question been raised, often couched in sentimentalist vs. animalistic words and syllabi, respectively, rarely more obvious than as with expression in macrophages throughout the reticulo-endothelial system, the possible exception being eulogy ensconced in political vilification, which arguably would be off topic here, at least as regards determinants of the biological response to ENPs. I believe a review of the material presented would lead one with critical perspective to just such a conclusion regarding the meta-gene issue, as I am sure you would no doubt agree, irregardless (look it up in your Funk'n Wagnell) of source, the wide spread assumption among free thinkers being that the concepts behind these flowery words must be taken, as alluded to, as something self-evident. What are your thoughts on this? ...

Get rid of the shit posters, we are here for a purpose and a mission. They are evil doers and we don't want them here.

Worm Tongues We cannot suffer FOOLS here.

I vote to protect GV against all threats! This is a forum meant to discuss issues of the day and Q posts! I see no reason to keep "shitposters" on any of our topic threads!!

ban the trolls. independence for GA!

Independence please!

I like your Patton Quote! and the jist of what you have said!!

Crench, I vote to go with whatever you and the other mods think is best.

Independence. LOve this board and will stay.

Here to stay. Fuck the shills.WWG1WGA

He is in my eyes until he proves not to be,

Its funny, I was going to say something a bit different, but when I went to type it, I looked just to the right of the text box and saw something there that has been there all along.... Rule for submitting posts and other rules below it.

To me it is simple, if it doesn't abide by those rules it is fair game to be cleared out. This is a forum for a specific subject. Flush anything that does not meet the criteria and independence from the crap. Do what is necessary to keep it that way.

I do not have any take in your GA subverse. But I would vote GA Independence if I could. So far you have tried to do the right thing and do what needs to be done!!

I have never noticed any mods inappropriately messing with me or anyone I replied to. I would not doubt there are many people that come here to disturb us. I'm sure it's a hard decision to make. Pray that God will give you the best choice.

I'm scared

Weed out the bullshit, sifting through shit posts over at v/QRV is a nuisance. v/GreatAwakening is absolutely the best Q board, keep up the good work and appreciate your efforts. WWG1WGA!

I vote for independence, all the way.

I just want to come here and get information, period. I don't give a shit about the other stuff as I skip what seems stupid etc. As far as I'm concerned, delete what is "crap" (according to common sense) and be done with it. If some want to bitch...so be it. I must be awfully picky in what I choose to read bc I don't come across the comments/posts where people are attacking the mods etc. Maybe bc I only the "HOT" section and "NEW".

lol...yawn.

make a post on the issue and show what you know of the background.

know what? the submission logs are the only ones i find suspect right now. commented on it here https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3270813/19123805/10#19123805

How could I ever see myself saying this, but..yes if it's 9 outta 10 then GA should be 9 in reference to free speech because agitators are EXHAUSTING our righteous subverse. We are patriots that are dedicated to a Just Cause. I choose independence. Yea even at the cost of kicking some shitposters out. Fuck the agitators.

The GA mission statement (?) is Q related. If free speech had allowed that elsewhere, GA would not exist. A focussed objective such as Q Related is not in principle free speech.If Q Related rules are not actioned, enforced, then free speech, however paramount in many situations, is easily capable of mischievously destroying Q Related GA. Mods are human (hopefully), I can, and will forgive mistakes. A balance could be had by (say) moving objectionable posts to another location, although it might be impractical or even have legal implications if some are that bad. I would be happy with actions which keep in mind that Q Related content is what I am here for, not discussions about free speech.

Totally support independence. Thank you for keeping this a site I want to come to.

Matters not what shit posting he may have done. What matters is protecting GA. The only reason you protest this is because you have bad intentions. Not to mention the "god" complex that shines thru.

(Kevdude with hands on hips: Everyone HAS to read my hateful and porn postings because I said so!!! (stamps feet and pouts).

Please, don't ever have children.

Independence. And thank you.

Independence. Keep the integrity of the Q related place. I miss srayzie and shizy and I hate it they were pushed out by the outside groups, pushing their propaganda.

Do it. This is our home and outsiders can fuck right off.

I vote for keeping the forum on topic.

Independence

I'm with you. Keep it clean. Take out the trash.

As has been said by others, if the shit list includes posts of

Racism

Violence

Porn

Gore

Nazi fagging and

Completely off topic attempts at sliding

Then count me in

What would it take for you to wake up?

You have my support to clean this mess up.

You were booted from reddit by anti white racists. That's how most of us ended up here. Our lives are controlled by anti white racists. They want to kill us all. Not important right. lol.

when i checked the mod logs just now, i saw two recent bans. didnt follow up on what got them banned so i dont have an opinion as yet. if you feel they didnt deserve being banned, call out the mod for it. dont hide your frustration behind comments removed 12 days ago. its that simple.

I’m all for some basic standards and empowering mods to take out the trash. I don’t mind differing opinions, in fact it’s a positive in my opinion. We need to draw the line to discourage filth.

This is where I hang my hat, @Crensch. If you are willing to spend time keeping things tidier, you have my appreciation and support.

[–] lilomeunq 11 points (+15|-4) 10.3 hours ago

@Crensch This clarifies my questions, and " Porn, gore, pro-nazi, and racist shill posts, and other completely off topic trash needs to be removed." can be the treatise you nail to the door. Nail it to the door, @Crensch. This is a Q site. Keep it to the topic, and Q discussions.

It's an easy vote for me. As far as I'm concerned, there is no point in having moderators that can't or won't moderate. The whole point of all the shitposting is to bury anything of value or meaning in shit. Literally.

I don't wish this and I never did and never will. It's just utterly and completely stupid. A waste of time and energy for everyone concerned, and this is also the point of such attacks. There is no actual 'reason' to them, let's stop pretending there is. The entire point of these ridiculous attacks and reasonless arguments is to be a repelling force for anyone who cares and anyone who comes here with right intentions.

It's not about free speech, which is an argument that only works when there is a focus on personal responsibility and some kind of maturity and respect for others present. For good or for ill, this is not the case for those who focus only on producing chaos and shit showers to funk up this subverse. Moderate them or cull them out. They add nothing of value and the supposed meanings of their arguments otherwise is flawed and irrational. All it does is dilute the meaningful conversation to the point where there is none, or so little of it that it negates the whole point of having this space to commune in.

Let them squeal and whine and shit shower themselves. I don't come here to listen to that crap anyway. I come here for headlines and for mature commentators, whether or not I agree with their thoughts or not. I'm not looking for an echo chamber, but I'm sick and tired of porn and click bait and people who do nothing but attack others and whine, which produces nothing of value to me or to anyone else either.

I rarely comment here, but I do lurk consistently. I rarely even log in, for that matter. I pray that someone shows some common sense in here and does what needs to be done to clean it up. It's been far better in the past few days or so. Good for whomever stands up and takes the heat for doing so. You have my support on this, such as it is.

Protect GA and go for independence.

With u

CONSIDER THIS OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - i dont give a fuck about this website, only this subverse, these wierdo outside mods can keep their sketchy jew hating bullshit somewhere else and leave our subverse alone

This your board, do whatever you want; shill or patriots, help yourselves. Visitors can choose which board they go to. Don't give a shit to people who ask you to do anything.

Keep this place clean!

independence.

GA is our room in the voat house. when someone shits into the room, shit gets removed. when he repeatedly abuses the room for his personal bathroom, he gets denied further entry.

free speech is not free shit. we also dont do that in real life.

but the rules of the game need to be clear so everybody knows how to play in here. and the mods need to strictly stick to those rules and will be called out for every removal that appears unjustified.

we have the mod logs and its our right and duty to regularly check them. this is not reddit where power mods can secretly play their manipulation game. nothing is really hidden but we fricking have to keep track of it.

i checked the mods logs just now.

comment log didnt look good 12 days or so ago when the drama was on super-hype. the removed comments though were all related to srayzies good-bye post; they mostly didnt deserve a removal and i also complained about it, heheh. but hey, it was clean-up time, everything was a bit emotional, and crensch promised that things would get better.

and well, they did. ever since, hardly and removals, and 2 bans (no opinion on that, didnt observe the process).

post logs are another thing. i see a few removals there that i cant understand at all. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/about/log/submission

for example, the decision on the quality of a post is pretty subjective, this rule needs to be specified. i also dont like the general rule of 'no questions'; if the post contains more than a question and is not a call fro being spoon-fed, simply removing it because the header contains a question isnt justified, from my pov.

that being said, lets fine-tune the rules and then strictly mod accordingly. makes it easier for everybody and spare the mods a lot of shit.

I choose option 1. I didn't know that a subverse could be subject to rules of those who aren't moderators of that subverse.

Do what you must to protect the integrity of GA.This is one platform I trust,due to the work of our mods.I will miss the insight of @srayzie and @shizy but understand the well-being of their family must always come first.I will do my best to out questionable characters and won't leave /v/GreatAwakening without a fight.

fuck it, kev. that was 12 days ago. drama time. clean up. get over it, its past. look at whats NOW. now, the comment logs look good to me.

i didnt like the dramatic clean-up period 12 days or so ago. it was a bit emotional and many comments did not, from my pov, deserve to be removed.

however, ever since, there were only 2 removed comments. in 11 days. doesnt look a problem to me. things seem to have balanced out.

I'm down with removing the shitposting and the shitposters. However, if all you intend to remove is anything negative about the mods, like the posts from your example, I'm out. I watched the fights when the migration happened and I saw the true character of some of the people I thought were 'all-in' on the Awakening and it was worrisome. Control of the information = control.

We are living in Evil Times. The shills that enjoy shocking good people with truly evil images and garbage should NOT be forced on others. That’s called anarchy and you must either fight or flee. I say we FIGHT! And kick those reprobates outta here.

As an aside, the Voat people should allow freedom for the Mods to supervise their subverses. It’s really stupid and hypocritical otherwise.

@Crensch - INDEPENDENCE. All enemies, foreign and domestic.

Independent

Just go full benevolent dictator. What they did to @srayzie was unforgivable, she was a great mod.

I am all for declaring our independence and I fully support your efforts. The shitposters and shills have no boundaries or moral compass and are not welcome here. They deserve to be removed/banned by any and all means necessary.

This is a great forum. I visit it every day. If the mods have specific rules for content that make sense to the community at large, I am for it.

Moderation is needed. The crap posting contributes nothing to the sharing of information and discussion of said issues. For unmoderated discussion, there is always QRV.

Fuck shilling, unleash the mods so we can keep this place focused, and unmolested by those who want it all to burn.

Independence

Down with shit posting, I support Crensch.

Is this basically the same question that Twitter et al. are asking themselves in their mirrored, insane, lib universe? And they have decided to purge, block, ban?

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!" Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Feel free to moderate, moderator.

This is supposed to be a Q related board, and all other content should be in some way Q related. I agree that free speech is good and needed, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. I would agree to regulate this board to keep it Q and Q related content to preserve the sanity of the board.

Declare independence.

As long as we are extremely careful about who we allow to become mods I'm all for it. We don't however want to allow someone to come in that's heart isn't in the right place and take over and then run things as a dictator. So far that hasn't been an issue. Mods have been carefully selected, and so I am all for it. Let's moderate.

I choose independence. Give our mods the freedom to decide what belongs here and what doesn't without fearing sanctions from admins. Without it, all the brigading and sick fucking posts that are appearing are going to run off all those who come here for truthful information and thoughtful discussion.

First option -- Independence.

Drain the swamp

I am not on twitter ,,,and this site is a great educator for me ,,,I just want peace...see,,I never noticed all this hoopla you are talking about...keep the integrity is good with me. wwg1wga is my motto.

I say declare independence from shit posters and esp those attacking the mods. Just like the illegals are using US laws against us, the shit posters are doing the same. Time for new laws.

I agree to declare GA's independence from the bullshit of "goats" and shitposters that do not have our best interests at heart! Thanks and long live this PATRIOT board!

Independence !

You know what is the most ironic thing ?

All these whiners , shitposters that claim how "VOAT is a place of free expression" come here and impose their own rules and pretend like they own the VOAT . In other words , they are utter hypocrites , shitting into their own mouth as they speak ...

They would whine about how rules are bad , but they will be first ones to ban others , even without specific reason .

I say , fuck them all for good ... if PuttitOut said this is Wild West , then let it be Wild West . Anyone can create any subverse with their own rules , as long as few basic VOAT-wide rules are respected . But there have been obvious breaks even of those wide-VOAT rules in forms of lolis and underaged porn posted on some subverses ...

They can whine as much as they want , they can pretend to be "brave VOAT faggots" behind their completely anonymous - or not so anonymous - idenities on VOAT , they can behave like utter schmucks , like they own the whole place , and no one else is permitted , just because they said so ...

Theyre all cowards . PuttItOut said this is Wild West - let them have the Wild West . Every subverse with its own rules , who gives a fuck ... there already are PLENTY of shitposting only subverses with their own rules . So , all these hypocrites can suck it ...

Go forward independence , its the only proper way ... as it can only expose the hypocrisy of others , and you will be a thorn in the eyes of these cowards , who would be suddenly very nervous if their real idenities would be exposed to everyone ... everyone is a brave little faggot behind their little nickname on the internet .

Do the people of this sub know Crench is anti jew? He knows the holocaust was fake and that jews are behind white genocide.

Count as of June 11th, 2019 ~8:30am UTC:

I see at least 60 unique comments of discernible support.

3 main users running around trying to get in the ears of supporters to sow doubt and kick up a protest -- using morbidly laughable tactics: kev, smokratez and ruck_feddit.

Submission vote tally at the time of this count without a page refresh:

71 upvotes, 20 downvotes (78% upvoted it)

Very willing to bet that most, if not all, of the downvotes are from people who just hate Crensch, srayzie and shizy, or who just hate Q/QAnons and/or v/GreatAwakening.

@Vindicator @MolochHunter @bopper @SandHog @kestrel9

Keep this place clean! @Crensch

removing the undesirables from the conversation

Why don't you just teach others to use the block button? It works fine for me, a blocked user's comments start as collapsed. I would think you would want people to be self-sufficient. "Teach a man to fish", ya know? Why is that such a crazy notion?

Boom!

Nope. Honestly why did she have to write to say anything? What the hell is this Jr. High? She made it personal. I chided her once because she was whining when she tagged someone and they had been offline a day or two. The clique was getting on my damn nerves and if that shit keeps happening, I'm done. I left before because of her bullshit drama. I'm not tagging her. I'm don't want to fight an insecure girl. She needed to get the hell out. My 2 cents.

no

Blast them away.

Becomes mod and wants to turn voat into reddit. This will only go poorly.

Declare independence ... its a Wild Wild West anyways ... anyone can declare independence .

The people do not get it ... you never can have 100 % "muh freeedom" on any social network or platform . That 100 % would absolutely require that everyone posts under their REAL name and surname . Considering VOAT has been heavily saturated with crap ( Im not talking here about any "controversial" stuff - all topics are very welcome , Im talking about pointless trolling , whining and shitposting , over and over ) , I say fully go for independence and flush the toilet ...

GA is excellent right now. Keep it going without drastic changes. If the trolls ramp up, mods should be able to take them out.

I think it is great that VOAT overall is not suppressing any of the subverses - something that Reddit failed at and that is the big problem with most social media. However, the individual subverses should be controlled by the mods of those subverses and the market will sort it out from there. IMO

The deletions of shills and their shitposts needs to be voted on by US, collectively, not someone looking for more power, prestige, or whatever. It's that kind of thinking that got us into this globalist/elitist crap in the first place.

Keep GA clean for us all who love this work

The best form of government is an enlightened ruler. If we have one, then do it already!

I am joining the almost unanimous vote to be independent from Protectvoats tyrannical abuse.

This is how much this sub hates v/Protectvoat. We are willing to trust our mods not to abuse us. If the sub dies, the movement will go on. We are vulnerable. Q team is powerful. There is no stopping what is coming, and I am pleased that I can finally say with confidence coming soon. I trust Strayzie's judgement and have really appreciated all the Mods here have done and are doing to get the craziness off the sub!

It has been said Modding is a thankless task. I hear that. But let today be the day that it is appreciated as we all join together to say really truly and completely, We thank you and appreciate you every day!

I choose Independence

No, the response comments/posts are mean but that's not the moderation I would hope for.

The Submissions to the site that were just hateful libel and name calling against a good moderator should have been removed.

The skirmish was leaning towards tribal and that list of removals makes the moderation look tribal also, kind of like cherry picked data for lack of better terminology.

Get a life punk live and let live. Do as you fucken wish this movement is much larger than your ego and can overcome the pathetic attempts to devide.

Your sub your rules.. I had understood was the case. I liked pg because of that. So long as the rules are clear and consistently applied which I felt had been the case with pb and ga.

Honestly though the levels of drama going on at the moment are unusually high, let it blow over for a while man and just stay steady.

Independence. Ban the fucktards.

I've already been targeted by a psycho faggot kike bitch cunt shitface fucker. I liked a James Wood tweet and his little dick army of alts started downvoting me and he's still around nagging his puny nutsack all over the place claiming I must have slept with Putt or some other retarded bullshit because he was caught being a complete piece of shit abuser.

What I did was go underground. I just stopped posting and went with private messages to talk to people here and some friends here. That's how I did. I still upvoted the good stuff and downvoted the shitheads.

Oh and I blocked his little shit army as well. Of course my group/sub/whatever was ruined but it's called Obscurity and was only for obscure things anyway. How can anyone fight against such a screaming cunt dick faggot like draaaak? Who was also banned from Hack Forums which is a much darker place than Voat.

Oh you want independence?

Then leave Voat, Qultfags. Leave, and never, EVER fucking return.

We're going to send your world to Hell.

I hope you enjoyed the Hell you built. We're sending you ours.

See Hell!

Let the shit posters have QRV.

Go with New Coke, it's the best!

True indépendance is each individual being able to block users that are offensive to that individual. The problem I see with that is new visitors might want to unsee some things, but I'd be willing to add a heads up with the referral.

Ok well you are not a moderator here and that is really the issue isn’t it? Someone else got it and you didn’t. So what....who cares these people are fucking nuts anyways.

Leave it be. They don’t like you obviously or they would defend you. I don’t see much of that in the post.....so cut your losses and move on.

Voat is exactly where it is supposed to be evolution wise. This place was never more than quarantine for the people reddit decided to shit out. The people here brought negative attention to reddit and hive mind so they came here and well they are doing exactly what they were supposed to do.

Admin is quiet, and that should tell you something.

Boss already said that glow in the dark was watching and been in contact already. I even told you what it was about. Thing is that places like this need to exist for the sole purpose of grabbing that low hanging fruit.

Wasn’t ever meant to be anything special. Understand that.

Lurker here voating for independence

DOIT!

Did you not make a long ass list of submission rules and allow the community to help with them?

Did you then work with the mod team to polish those rules and implement them all instantly?

Yeah you fucking did and those that were constant problems you fucking banned them or kept deleting their posts.

Come on just let this die. Be the bigger man, or woman. Just let this go for the betterment of the fucking site.

Your behavior is that of an adolescent girl. The shit needs to end. OP has the high ground in this and you got nothing to defend yourself save persistence. From all I have witnessed in my time on voat which you know is longer than you.....OP will win this because you are a bitch.

I am not saying that to gain favor or insult you. I don’t take a side in this. Your just lacking in fortitude and you always have.

You rely on all your buddies too much. You always expect them to come help you argue a point, and OP will discuss it. Yeah it is condescending as fuck, but it gets the point across.

You however just let everyone do it for you and delegate the caseload.

You lost this, and need to step off it.

Independence

I say declare independence. I really don't care if this is a shit-posting forum or not, there are shit-posters all over the interwebs, a few here don't really matter to me. What does matter is the independence (and the free speech!) of this subverse.

Declare independence.

Is he sub owner?

Does any of his moderation cabinet disagree his actions? If so where they released from the team and at the time of release was OP owner?

Is this a sytem subverse?

Is it going to be a system controlled subverse?

If you have reviewed all these things and find that each answer is no......well then you need to get you a nice tall bitter glass of shut the FUCK up and sit your ass down.

You have defended the actions of non system subs for as long as I can remember and the moderator actions within those. You have no power here and you know it.

No one appointed you to be supreme fuck face within this site, and you sure as fuck have no business telling another moderator or owner how to run their subverse unless they ask you.

Face it if there was a magic bullet this is it.

Let the weirdos be and they can play their numerology or practice their Scientology. Whatever it is they do.

They are happy with it, and if not they can kick rocks over to QRV and shitpost all they want. OP wants to curate the sub then so be it. I see no difference with what OP is doing to what you did with pizzagate when kingkongwaswrong left.

Fuck you pussy!

I vote for independence. @crensch, I trust you as I trusted @srayzie to do what it takes to keep this board functional, and keep out the trash posters trying to take it down due to their fear of a worldwide "Great Awakening". I'm ok with the mods deleting or hiding posts that are unrelated or inappropriate for this Q board, and shutting down posters who are obviously trying to run off the decent people.

Take out the trash.

I vote this: Will you all accept that GA is now a "shitposting" and "monarchical" subverse, thus forcing those "goats" that want to meddle to have consistency issues that will cause them more problems and keep them off our backs? Thus allowing your mods to unilaterally decide to remove things like this which was submitted by this sleeper account, that pretended to be part of GA, but was out to DIVIDE and destroy us, without having to bother with oversight from some unhealthily interested parties, invested in keeping mods weak to allow for shitposters to run wild over the website?

Nooooo

What they are saying is that sedition is imminent. Looks like to me that one of your mod buddies went rouge. I mean it isn’t surprising really.

Been a while since you have been the hero, and savior of the day. Funny thing here is that I am unsure how it is that your reign will remain after this.

So. Much. Drama.

Ohhh muh fee fees

So you're not a mind-reader, kev? So your previous comment was a false dichotomy?

The headlines are the most valuable part of the site. To learn and understand not only the Q movement but, also subjects that need to be discussed. I don't feel that anything counter to bringing America back to balance is relevant and waste of spirit.

This is the superior subverse. And that's their true bone w us. At least on here theres conversation of real substance. Q sent us there....but that in my mind was a purposeful move to take shitposter from8chan and give them busy work. I started there...........but bettered my lot in this war on cabsl by coming here. Let the goats stay there n pretend they are getting it done. They aren't.

I vote for independence. I'm all for free speech but we've also seen what a free-for-all community turns into.(Just look at California for instance) I trust the mods here and appreciate all their hard work. I don't want to lose any more. It scarred me when the others left. I was afraid this all would crumble and it's an important part of my life since I'm surrounded by zombies that refuse to be red-pilled. We have to have SOME boundaries just like the USA needs a wall. I am fully behind this board and the moderators. WWG1WGA!!!!! <3

Show me where I banned anyone ostensibly for hate speech.

God, your plays are so pathetic. How'd that rallying the goats work out for you, kev?

Well I guess as a proxy for consensus on your question, Crensch, when I did my post about going 9/10 not 10/10 on the free speech front, it had 91% upvoats from nearly 200 votes

In the immortal words of william wallace: FREEEEEDOM

I support you 100%, pleaes keep the "shitposters" out.

Go back to your neck off the woods cunt

http://magaimg.net/img/86mp.jpg

Why don't you get the fuck off our website then? go back to reddit.

I say independence! I’m all for free speech but it’s reached a point where it’s ruining everyone’s experience. If your free speech makes it so others don’t feel like they can safely contribute, then fuck them.

Can upvoating and downvoating not handle this on its own?

ban these idiots, they are not here to engage, but to divide. Censorship is necessary sometimes, we are adults here and don't have to deal with trivial crap like what the shit posters drop here

Thank you opening the dialogue about GA. It's needed. and all those that sub to it will protect GA about it. Give it to the frogs! Freedom of speech in letters and speech recorded, not perverse images.

This place is my go to for POTUS and Q news. I'm for Independence.

Free speech does not mean a free-for-all. Free speech does not include harassing speech. I will argue that it does not include off-topic posts, either. If people want to post gay porn, then there are other places for it, like reddit.

I trust you and thank you for all that you’re doing to protect this subverse. You’ve done an amazing job. @Bopper and @MolochHunter keep up the good work! WWG1WGA!

"Other Rules"

"We reserve the right to remove posts."

Seems simple enough. I guess I don't play well enough with others to see what the problem is... just don't want to be "the bad guy"?

Simple rules, play by them or bump your gums down the road. What am I missing? I get a laugh out of some of the shit talking / ragged and rough ways of making their point. Some of my favorite people talk/post shit... A lot of us don't know enough history of the site past 8 months or so.

Is this what happened to theawakening? If I hadn't subscribed to it earlier, I wouldn't be able to find it now, but it certainly has less disgusting shill action. Is "shit posting" considered the porn and nothing but racists?

If you want to feel better about your decisions: One warning with a link to the rules, then break out the banhammer if the disrespect continues. You tried, they didn't.

Honk @crensch

Independence requires the we know what we want and what we don't want, GA independence requires both to be clearly established, communicated and administrated based on want and don't want. I believe, shitposters need to be handled with prejudice, and the site needs to remain open to constructive Q movement development and updates. Can shitposters be appropriately exposed, banned and more importantly be made an example of? Is there a plan of action we can support from our community to help repulse the shit posters? I.E. Redefine and post down voting guidelines requirements & steps: make them painfully obvious and easy to do. More importantly make down voting guidelines easy to find on GA. GA is an amazing place: very much worth maintaining and fighting for as a plan of action(POA) Can the shitposters be exposed within GA and can we proactively move our community to directly downvote shitposters? Allowing them to continuously attack to destroy GA should not be an option...It's all part of defending the TRUTH. Defend the TRUTH with prejudice

Free speech on voat is fake news. Eat a bullet asswipe, and feed one to your friends kevdude and puttitout before you go.

Give me freedom or give me death (declare independence).

I'll be checking it out.

The discussion here should be focused on the appropriate topics. Delete and ban anyone who cannot stay on topic.

Let the loli/gay_porn people find somewhere else for their degeneracy.

Independence.

Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it. -Malcolm Wallace/Braveheart.

I'm for independence, but don't let the power go to your fucking head.

Those deletions have to do only with the goodbye post that Srayzie made, looks like.

INDEPENDENCE

Since the beginning, the mods here have been stellar. High quality moderation leads to high quality site.

But why is the TL;DR not at the start of the post when I need it?

I agree that GA needs to declare independence from the "3.5 year old tyranny that is not sanctioned by the admin of this site".

I want it to declare it independent as a Research subverse with a focus on research, for researchers and Qanon supporters at large. I want to declare that threads infested and co-opted with shitposters are defacto shit posting threads and the comments can be deleted by Mods.

They have no restrictions in their subs, they are protected everywhere they go, and they spread the culture of their subs all over voat, but most perniciously it seems, within research subs. I would want admin @puttitout more formally recognize that research subs have a right to exist as such, having their own culture (not to say that people don't debate research obviously), but with the same protection that PV has given to shitposters and porn subs based on their 'culture' and their respective 'purpose.'

It's impossible to participate in a research site when bogus subs with agendas like @kevdude's vision and status quo within PV come over and harangue the mods by sending or enabling a culture of shitposters to run around voat unchecked.

I ask you all to pardon my PV-related transgressions against you by removing shitposters and their posts and comments without citing a reason for each?

I pardon all your decisions to remove shitposters and personally believe you did nothing wrong within the context of the preceding events that necessitated your becoming owner of the subverse.

Looks like I don't really have to pay any attention to you at all, anymore.

I say go full throttle and maintain the integrity of GA. It would be a shame to have GA go the way of pizzagate and QRV.

I've always wondered how voat seemed to ignore the whole "unsolicited" part of the typical spam definition.

Moat of voat would argue to physically remove the undesirables from this country, but allow that bullshit in voat.

Sign me up, let's create an ethnostate.

i see very little of this crap. Certainly nothing like Q research on 8 chan, or Qresearch voat. One of the reasons I frequent this place. Do what you have to do.

Independence. I no longer go to QRV because of all the crap I have to wade through. Who has the time? Let's get back to Q discussions. Those outside forces have plenty of places to go to spread their crap. Let's keep them out of here.

I believe those that were here prior to the migration hate your guts, too.

I have noticed some posts discussing news articles not even Q related. It seems some people just want to be an authour. I am for independence. Eliminate the shitposting, and get back to the GA roots. WWG1WGA!

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone! Let em find some other chaotic shithole! (like Gab, and FU NR!!!) Moderate the living Fu%^ outta this place!!! You have my support!

Fuck em, burn it to the ground Crensch

Crazy times we live in. Thank you for your service.

Delete off topic bullshit.

Ban repeat offenders.

FPH has been doing it right for years.

I told u/Srayzie this, too. She was too soft.

You should better define what types of material will be removed.

It's hard to say yay, or nay without some general ideas of what content gets automatically removed, and what kinds of garbage are allowed to stay.

In my opinion, if the daily Nazi propaganda isn't in the grouping of posts that need to be auto-removed, then there is no point in trying to moderate this sub against spam.

Moderating this place shouldn't be that damn difficult. This place is for Q topics of discussion,and that is very broad. Porn, gore, pro-nazi, and racist shill posts, and other completely off topic trash needs to be removed.

This should be the guiding light behind all moderation decisions regarding Q content:

PATRIOTS HAVE NO COLOR. DIVIDED WE ARE WEAK, TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG.-Q

Any posts that go against this simple directive, are not Q quality, and need to scrubbed out of this place.

Though I don’t believe or follow the q cult I found the heinous images posted in qrv abhorrent. You guys deserve a place free of loli and gay shit.

Please deep six the shitposters. Gracias!

DECLARE OUR INDEPENDENCE!! fuck those ppl who want to come here only to cause disruption and ill will. The freedom of speech has to first come with the wisdom of how to use it to progress our resolve..there are plenty of other subs where they can post their (Q)ueer, (R)eprobate, and (V)ile shit...I am saddened to to have lost @srayzie and @shizy, but implore you to keep up the good fight against shitposters....

Trying to draw that line will fuck the voat, mark my words

There are plenty of places for folks to post trash on. Aint got time for that. Gotta keep the lanes of fire clear. I would rather not have to tiptoe around dog piles. I would take it as our right in this subverse to define the rules to support the mission. We're not talkin' about cars, or junk, or how the weather is today (well, some do)--this is part of a fight to the finish. I believe it. Don't need abuse of "free speech" which actually is intended to harm not to help. Don't need shiny objects to distract, nor over the top crap. Pffffft!--boring. Is this not like the First Revolutionary War...for Independence?? So it is in the Second.

Why did you leave reddit in the first place? This is how it starts.

Because their mods were replaced by the admins, then the entire subreddit was banned off of Reddit.

Your narrative fails at every turn.

I too wish to use a site wherein mods can ban users and remove posts because their fee fees got hurt, LONG LIVE REDDIT!

Is it possible within the Voat software framework to move a post out to another subverse that can be for all the un-moderated "trash" content were one can waste time reading it as desired.

I say declare independence, I am with Greatawakening either way. it is the best board I have found with quality headlines and comments that are mostly Q related. Keeping the integrity would be phenomenal. thanks

Be the Moderator that is needed here. The dead-child posting went over the line. Thank you.

Empty the trash

I love it here. I just wish more people grabbed posts from research to discuss and less news articles. I share them on FB as Q proofs. But I wish we all did more research. I get excited when I learn new stuff

Subverses that require a certain level of integrity need to be preserved. In parks and on sidewalks, degenerates and disturbances are removed. Why not the same here?
