I agree that we should stop a bad precedent, but at least he seems like he's willing to work with the community.

He really should have asked to be a mod first.

From Trigglypuff:

Hey Kev. There are currently no active mods on v/pics. Elnino and SilverBanana have both quit. Since I was made a Janitor, not one mod has communicated with me in anyway.

Whilst I do not always agree with some content, like people posting gifs, I have not removed anything that was not spam. I do feel that certain users have been posting crap to the sub, gifs, videos, memes. Ive left it to the community to downvoat or upvoat content, but I do worry that v/pics is turning into a catch all sub. Any thoughts? Thanks

Oh, and it was never discussed amoungst Janitors to enforce sidebar rules.

If there are no active mods on v/pics then we should appoint one.

Voat Now!

Why do we even need moderators when votes work ?

I'm sure Puttitout will set this guy straight. None of the mods there have been apppointed or even checked by the users though. banana was modded by elNino and doc5 by one of them. That deletion on the nsfw one is dodgy as well. Seems like an excuse to delete a potential doxxing which wasnt against the rules.

Note the deletions state that they are being removed for rule violations.

am i shadowbanned, my profile stats haven't moved in 5 days of voting commenting and posting

Janitors are to delete obvious spam only. If it isn’t obviously spam, let it be.

.

Do not delete anything that violates the rules of a subverse. Removing rule violations is the moderator’s job to determine, not the janitor’s. (Many of these defaults have good moderators that have been there a long time and this is their job to determine such things ).

Guidelines are pretty clear here.
