In a sub called "pizzagate" about discovering things about the pedophile ring, submissions not about the pedophile ring are being removed.
Thanks to the many parties wanting to COINTEL this shit under the rug, leaving it to votes really won't work like it does here in PV or other places where $people$ have no interest. (see the recent posts here about the bot-voted content)
Consider this sub to be more like /v/fatpeoplehate or /v/niggers. As long as the issue isn't "ad hominem" because a mod is butthurt, we don't have a problem.
I'd recommend, if it hasn't happened, discussing removal rules with your sub, and putting them on the sidebar. That's the ONLY issue Voaters should have now with what's going on. It's obvious your sub is meant as an investigative forum, not a race-illuminati-ancient connecting shitfest.
Edit:
"Posts not about PIZZAGATE specifically will be removed. Unfounded, outlandish connections will be removed. EVERY new claim needs a valid, clear source. While some hypothesis and guesses are good to have, things about races, religions, (besides possibly satanic stuff,) and other unfounded or non-useful generalizations are not relevant to this investigation."
And maybe make a sub FOR that kind of crap. "pizzagatehangout" or something where people that came over because of pizzagate but don't want to investigate can shitpost or whatever.
Let me know if I'm wrong here. Actually that goes for anyone - by all means give me a good reason that things shouldn't happen this way in an investigation subreddit.
Edit:
To the people downvoating here, thanks for the confirmation that I'm right. I ask specifically for good reasons why I'm wrong and all you have is your downvoats.
It's a niche subverse, so while I may not care for their deletion policy, they aren't a Default and are free to set their own rules. Seems to me that the sub's owner is working very hard to assimilate the Voat ways of doing things while still keeping the sub neat and on-topic.
Yeah, it's a pretty big catch-22 situation. The guy seems to legitimately want to assimilate and keep everyone happy, but spinning plates and all that.
He already cracked down on a mod removing something for "ad hominem" which is a patently absurd criteria, but IMO if the criteria is "not relevant to investigation" I can get behind that.

Deletions in order:
Given this, I'm more than happy to have the pizzagate mods to remove posts as long as they really are this level of shit-tier.
Let's be honest, if it's not about the investigation into pizzagate, it doesn't belong there.
