I know that a couple of my comments have been removed. But I have come to expect that

OH. You are right. I can't math. I shall remove my false words.

NeedleStack ago

lol noooooo it's all good. :)

Crensch ago

I fuckin' lolled. Bravo, goat.

Crensch ago

Oh, definitely. When I wrote that I was still under the impression that the mods had tried to add cancer here.

Ina_Pickle ago

Hey, I need whoever is able to see our statistics to check mine for me. Do you know who over in PV was posting those the other day? Maybe I should talk to you about this in PM. Check for one in a minute please.

Crensch ago

Understood.

Ina_Pickle ago

Thanks. I don't expect miracles though, so don't hurt your hands over it.

weredawg ago

Yeah, I know he didn't delete it. However, he did come in saying "we" and "us". I get that he's just trying to put the fire out, but saying "the guy who fucked up doesn't know what he's doing" doesn't really work for me. Allow me to rephrase my comment in a way that's not as mean to ViaAlpina: Motherfuckers shouldn't have to learn to not be cancer.

Ina_Pickle ago

Yeah, some of you do. You have a few loose canons though. You know who they are. They're the same people who have recently taken to using PV as a platform to bully InsaneGoat.

Yes, he's loud and a lot of people find him annoying. And yes, he's posted a few very assholish comments. But what exactly is he doing to warrant front page posts from PV? He's mostly harmless, but PV has power on this site and I don't like seeing that abused.

Some of you guys wanted and accepted responsibility for helping this site run. You have the trust of the site owner. Your voice has influence. One guy in a recent post was practically salivating in defense of PV and Kev (I think...might have been Cat) . He pretty much told all critics to fuck off because your group could never be wrong, so don't even bother posting a counter argument to a site issue.

That's some scary blind devotion, Nadre. Devotion that I don't think is warranted. In fact it's dangerous.
As a group, you need to be better than what I have been seeing lately. Especially if you have people like that following your lead.

Ina_Pickle ago

Yeah you're right about that. I'd be a lot less pissy if you could keep adhdferret and pals in check. I'm tired of losing ccp every time they don't like what I have to say.

heygeorge ago

ferret has DV pals? Fffffuuuuuuuu

Oh look, SaneGoat has a new alt. Go eat a dick Amalek

RumpRangerRick ago

Eddit faggot mods infesting this place.

Bust out the roach killer, buckaroos.

brandon816 ago

5 rules in the sidebar. None apply here. Judgment in favor of the plaintiff.

Ina_Pickle ago

Asking PV for help is like going to the mob. They'll bust heads for you, but it comes at a price.

Estalia ago

Yes, you confirmed that it was by design that we couldn't downvote some guy screeching about mods.

Sorry to hear about your downvotes.

Ina_Pickle ago

Keep whining. Voat will make sure you are never able to downvoat. Our system is in place for a reason and has worked very well.

Estalia ago

So downvoting wouldn't have been possible in that case. Thanks for clearing that up

ViaAlpina ago

We fucked up. Give us time to learn the new platform.

RumpRangerRick ago

Nigger. Go back to Eddit.

1.9 year old account "learning the platform" my ass.

ViaAlpina ago

I was speaking for my fellow mods who are new to Voat.

MrPim ago

The platform has nothing to do w it. Who you are modding is all of it.

Why does this happen w every migration. Sub gets banned at R>Sub comes here to V>Creators of Vsub Mod Rsub mods>retarded Reddit Cancer happens in new Vsub.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, you idiots stayed at Reddit for the last two years in the face of rampant censorship. So you're mostly not too bright. And, let's be honest, most of you wouldn't be here now except your little sub got banned. Many of you will never be goats.

weredawg ago

You motherfuckers shouldn't have to learn to not be cancer.

Crensch ago

Lurk more, faggot.

smokratez ago

That didn't take long.

julian_assanger ago

The faggot probably doesn't even know about the removal logs.

Iamabioticgod ago

I came back to voat after over a year not being on it. I was pleasantly surprised to see it toggle to night mode once I logged in

Possible ago

Moderation by permission solves this problem.

Here's how it works: Admins no doubt continue to remove illegal content, because the site is liable. Moderators do whatever they want - remove everything if they want to. BUT sort moderators based on the number of users which use them. Users pick whichever mods they want. Then you're no longer troubled by shitty moderators doing things to your experience that you don't want.

This way, great moderators are recognized by user support for their efforts and shitty moderators are completely unable to force their decisions on others. Moderators become like Apps on your phone. Not everyone wants flappy birds, but the people who do can have it.

Let users decide whether a moderator's decisions change what they see. I don't really need someone else deciding for me what I get to read. But, people who make choices I like I might allow to moderate for me.

brandon816 ago

So, what if you don't like a mod, but they also clear out legitimate spam? Now your whole mod team has to individually mark spam as confirmed and delete it, in order to hide it.

Consider instead maybe adding a way for subscribers to the subverse to (semi-?) permanently vote out any moderator who is abusing their power in some way. Or maybe just a per-subverse option to ignore moderator removal of content, if you just disagree with the whole moderator staff or the idea of removing even irrelevant content.

Possible ago

You aren't really asking me a question. You just assumed a response that I did not provide, and made up a problem that must follow my imaginary response.

How would I respond to this question? If I don't like a moderator, and my decision to turn off their moderation of my experience has some drawbacks, then that's life. Everyone else will make their own decisions for their own reasons.

xx88 ago

So does Voat have a go to attack strategy for stopping unnecessary deleting comments or only for unnecessary banning?

brandon816 ago

Spreading awareness and splitting off to a new subverse is generally how it goes for most non-system subs.

Ina_Pickle ago

When it gets bad enough the site unites to downvoat the asshole into oblivion. That doesn't stop them from posting, but does stop them from voating.

The creators of private subs have the right to do what they want... but if they piss of the subscribers the sub dies.

If enough noise is made about a bad mod, the site owner gets involved. This has happened four times that I am aware of. Two were removed from a public (admin owned) sub, one was someone that took over a popular private sub and pissed off the user base.

The owner likes to use a public forum to discuss these things when action is needed to be taken. We had one not that long ago when someone hijacked v/niggers. https://voat.co/v/announcements/1551024

xx88 ago

This is so great, thanks for explaining. So cool to see site wide love for free speech like that.

Also I'm so intrigued w PV now, but I'm sure time will give me examples of what they do.

MrPim ago

PV is kind of the unofficial,,,community police. Questionable actions by users/ mods/subs get reported there. After that, things get spicey. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes users get irrate and fuck shit up on their own. If things get big enough an admin might step in and resolve.

It's controversial. Certain users dislike PV and call it a brigade anti free speech sub. Those users generally have an axe in need of grinding. But that's an opinion, and you should form your own about what PV does.

Ina_Pickle ago

Eh. They're a mixed bag. Some of them are good people. Others... vengeful downvoat brigaders with an agenda that is definitely not to protect this site.

Estalia ago

Fuck off, tia

everlastingphelps ago

Imgur link and you aren't using night mode.

Faggot confirmed, fuck off.

fuckthejews ago

I do use night mode. I wasn't logged in when itook that pic.

And if you read the comment, you would know that slimg wasn't uploading for me. Kept saying failed. I'm not worries that imgur is going to censor this IMG.

brandon816 ago

Atko ran off and made imgjar.co . You could try that one.

MrPim ago

Slimg has been broken for a few weeks(not ages). And it appears abandoned by its creators. So, while Slimg was for a minute the defacto IMG host at voat, it is no longer. We use all decent IMG hosts, including imgur(although some will tell you not to because of their past association w R). Both of these other niggers need to fuck off. Your post is fine w actual goats.

addie89 ago

I'm using night mode but what is the significance of using it on voat?

Laurentius_the_pyro ago

Day mode is for faggots

addie89 ago

That's good to know. I will be sure to keep it on night mode then. ;p

VoatForFreeSpeech ago

That's my bad. Not a good comment to delete. But we WILL be deleting comments that try to derail conversation.

Boyakasha ago

Let downvoats do their job. There's no vote "fuzzing" here. What you see is what you get and people will downvoat silly bullshit that doesn't add to the discussion.

Rainy-Day-Dream ago

this isn't reddit, you're going to have a bad time here if you act like it is. There isn't even a rule against derailing conversation on this subverse in the first place and why would there be? let the users voat on the comments unless they're blatant spam.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

WHAT IN THE NIGGER IS THIS BULLSHIT? YOU CENSORING MOTHERFUCKERS ALREADY? BOY AFTER ALL THE BULLSHIT VOAT'S BEEN THROUGH I GOT HALF A MIND TO JUST YELL AT YOUR FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS UNTIL YOU FUCKING BEG THE SHILLS TO MAKE PUTT BAN ME. FUCKING HELL. YOU BETTER FUCKING MAKE THIS FUCKING RIGHT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. I AM THE BIGGEST ANTI-SHILL MOTHER FUCKER HERE. BUT SHILLING IS BEHAVIOR. YOU DON'T START CENSORING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF SHIT TEIR SHILLY SPEECH, DERAILING SPEECH. NO YOU USE THE LIGHT, THE TRUTH, AND SHINE IT ON SHILLY SPEECH AND IT DRIES UP LIKE A BITCH'S PUSSY LOOKIN AT A FATTY. YOU DO NOT FUCKING CENSOR SPEECH HERE. YOU HAVE THE REST OF THE FUCKING INTERNET FOR THAT. I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MINUTES TO CHOOSE WISELY HOW YOU MOTHERFUCKING RESPOND TO THIS. I WILL WITHHOLD THE PURPLETEXT UNTIL CONFIRMED @pUTTITOUT POSSIBLE AHEM NOT SAYING IT YET.

Laurentius_the_pyro ago

Amen

Rainy-Day-Dream ago

look at how few downvoats you got this time, do you think it means anything?

LostandFound ago

Yeah look at the parent comment from the mod it got all the downvoats this entire chain is collapsed I had to rummage to even find it here

Rotteuxx ago

I pinged him in a non-troll like manner and upvoated him, what a thread this is !

SaneGoatiSwear ago

shills know how to spread the brigade, nice shill attempt. lol jk. weak shill is weak.

Rainy-Day-Dream ago

I'm just saying, maybe there's a time and a place for things?

MrPim ago

Amalek never learns. His rant just happens to fit right here. The broken clock being right twice a day and all that. Tomorrow, he'll do it in a totally inappropriate place or time. And we start it all over again.

He NEVER learns, or even listens. I've seen dozens and dozens of people all say the same thing to him.

And we always end up back at tomorrow where he'll trip out again. Which is all why he DIDNT get my upvoat. I've done this too many times.

mudcatca ago

Holy shit, I just gave sanegoat an upvoat!

RumpRangerRick ago

Is this real life ?!???

Boyakasha ago

I didn't. Fuck him.

SaveTheChildren ago

are you on any kind of medication?

I think he's just really passionate about voat.

Oh, most definitely.

Stay on fucking reddit then.

What the fuck kind of backwards mentality is this ?

@Sanegoatiswear, git'em boy ! :)

shill did you just.. oh.

oh my... yeah hold my shit, two seconds mate...

Rotteuxx ago

See how well we can get along when we don't shit talk.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

you fucking shilled against me promoting a culture of silence on voat.

fuck you, shill.

Rotteuxx ago

Delusions again

I first shilled against you for being a dick in a thread in /v/TIL.

Then got annoyed by your spamming & thought to myself "fuck this guy, troll the shit out of him, he's annoying and fun".

But the fact remains, like I've always said, that what you say is not my issue, simply the demeanour you chose to adopt in various threads. Civility is not anti free speech.

Drain0 ago

But we WILL be deleting comments that try to derail conversation.

Do you not see the irony behind this statement and your username? Seriously faggot?

Dalai_Llama ago

"deleting comments that try to derail conversation"

What the fuck is downvoting for then? Just let the users decide. A small caste of mods picking and choosing the "correct" comments is what made reddit reddit.

You didn't like reddit very much, did you?

Estalia ago

What the fuck is downvoting for then?

Anyone that just migrated over can't downvote.

Dalai_Llama ago

Well, VoatForFreeSpeech has been a member for 1.6 years and the sub he mods is 1.4 years old, so I'm not sure a couple new users not being able to downvote for half a day is worth compromising the entire philosophy of "spam janitors."

edit: not sure why this comment double posted. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Estalia ago

so I'm not sure a couple new users not being able to downvote for half a day is worth compromising the entire philosophy of "spam janitors."

This sub was only ever a backup for when we got shoah'd from Reddit and has grown exponentially today. It's certainly not a "couple users." "Why didn't you downvote" is a non-argument considering a vast majority of this sub is under a day old.

That said I agree with your general argument (perhaps not the autistic rage of some other posters) and once we get to the downvote threshold in general hopefully we wont see mods deleting comments because the sub will self-curate.

Dalai_Llama ago

Seems like if there was anything worth saying, one wouldn't need to rely on a "padded period" until the base was "up and running." Sounds like an excuse to hide the fragility of the content. That being said, I think the content over there would do just fine without a period of elevated moderation. I think this is just a confidence problem.

yeah ex-friend you got that right, batcunt!

this has been your freeze peach of the day.

Looks like the mod team are true faggots they cry about censorship and then come to voat and censor comments that they don't agree with. True sign of a faggot

That's so funny. There was a lot of "irony" pics on yesterday but this one takes the biscuit.

Why are they given any power? Any mod on reddit shouldnt be allowed to fuck Voat up. Reddit was/is herpes/cancer/aids BECAUSE OF THE MODS THERE

Ugh, yeah. Sad thing is the comment is totally NOT detailing conversation. I THOUGHT I LEFT THIS FAGGY SHIT BEHIND IN THE GREAT REDDIT MIGRATION OF 2017
