@LockeProposal, not only the original founder, but also the very heart and soul of this subverse, has returned now after a three month hiatus, and I think a new sticky to celebrate this fact is in order.
I also want to thank all the people who have submitted new content during this time to keep this subverse alive and kicking. (I would ping you personally, but it would quickly go above the 5 mentions limit per submission.)
This is also the time that we want to announce that we are going to have more heavy-handed moderation. No more Mister Nice Guy!
I moderate myself a lot of free-for-all subverses on Voat that only demand following to the global rules and not a single bit more (such as v/de), and think they serve a valuable purpose on Voat. v/HistoryAnecdotes on the other hand is a subverse that needs to be curated to maintain its core identity and to serve its purpose, and to not get drowned out in the soapboxing, preaching to the choir and other rallying cries that are prevalent elsewhere on Voat. If you need to warn people and wake up the sheeple about the Holohoax, SJWs or Muslims, you will find a lot of sympathetic subverses on Voat, and we are cool with their existence even where we personally don't agree with them. v/HistoryAnecdotes just isn't the place to have these sorts of discussions, just as you wouldn't go to v/FatPeopleHate to discuss chocolate cake recipes or to v/news to share cat pictures.

so this is the only sub for meta? make it clear in the rules meta such as words to you @lockeproposal should not be in regular posts.

Are you at least in touch with your feminine side?

Where do I go to share cat recipes though?

I will be keeping my eye on you, Locke. You aren't what you pretend to be.
Ina_Pickle ago
Oh really? Because I've noticed that this submissoin is not a historical anecdote. It breaks "the rules", yet it is stickied instead of removed as @skyrock suggests should be done to other submissions that are not 100% historical anecdotes.
But then, this is mod skyrock's submission. How convenient.
Another blatant case of "rules for thee, but not for me".
But go ahead and tell me how this is fair and not at all draconian. Next you'll ban me for pointing out your hypocrisy. But don't worry.... not draconian at all.
P.S. I screen capped this. Just in case, you know, you are a liitle more draconian than you would like to admit.

Love it. Welcome back. And I am excited to see a little corner of voat not over run with hate for Jews and blacks.
Ina_Pickle ago
You got an upvoat for Locke, even though I would rather have given that upvoat to Locke himself.
You got a downvoat for your draconian stance on moderation. No matter how popular draconian stances were historically.
So you netted a nothing from me.
Welcome back @lockeproposal. You were missed.WeekendBaker ago
Ah, I stand corrected, thank you. My obscur trivia facts about voaters just got better.
middle_path ago
Don't leave us again, @LockeProposal . People like you give voat the diversity of content it needs.

Heavy handed moderation = safe space to prevent hurt feels.
Love your content but you need to learn to deal with people on the Internet.

Oh nice, TIL.

I already have contributed around $400 USD in the last year.
I've told them multiple times that if they allow BTC payments for adverts, I'll run a series of shit posts for laughs.
Unfortunately, still waiting for that feature to be implemented. Believe me I'm sure @PuttItOut is sick of me bringing it up all the time.
So, feel free to accept, you're not impacting my commitment to Voat's finances.
Firevine ago
Locke was definitely missed!

HE IS RISEN

Ok?

Pings don't work in submissions AFAIK, only comments. And the limit is 5 per comment.
Goater ago
I'd be happy to throw in a little bitcoin to say thanks to Locke and the mods.
PM me separate wallet addresses if you're happy to accept.
@LockeProposal @justintoxicated (and of course you Skyrock)
I'll be transparent, it's probably just enough to buy a couple beers but you guys deserve it.
OhBlindOne ago
What a wonderful Christmas surprise!
Welcome back @LockeProposal!
heygeorge ago
Nice to have Locke back! As for moderation, It's your sub, do what you dig. It's generally not my favorite tactic, but I can see the usefulness in this forum.
BentAxel ago
Welcome back @LockeProposal Love this sub.
