I posted this submission on December 17th after seeing that he was engaging in this type of censorship just because he didn't like the comments that others were placing. I archived the post after seeing his intentions of deleting it: https://archive.is/J2qk9
In his reply to the post he stated the following which is archived as well: https://archive.is/NUljz
Now as far as your post. This is not the type of content that I would normally allow because it doesn't relate to the content for this sub. You have some very good questions but this isn't the place to discuss politics, religion or philosophy. Although I do enjoy discussing those topics. Moving forward, I will allow this post to stay up for a while but at some point I will delete it because like I said it's not related to the content of this sub.
If you read the post you will see that the questions tough rhetorical for me are not for many and are indeed unexplained subjects that fall into the topic of the subverse he has. Yet he claims they are not for they are not the type of content HE would allow.
Though I quoted his rules on my answer I quote again:
Racism and hateful comments: Racist or hateful comments have no place on this sub. This includes the use of the "N" word. If you aren't sure what I mean by the "N" word, then it's safe to say it would be best to not post a comment at all. The owner and moderators of this sub have the right to break this rule when dealing with hateful individuals.
This is a direct violation of freedom of speech as by the SCOTUS hate speech is free speech. If he censors the comments or submissions because he doesn't like what they were about, he is censoring free speech. Voat doesn't stand for that as you yourself claimed.
I also placed the additional description and rules of the verse in imgoat.com: https://imgoat.com/uploads/6da2f590cd/176287.png
He deleted my post: https://imgoat.com/uploads/6da2f590cd/176288.png - under the pretence that it was spam.
My post followed all of his guidelines and respected the rules of the subverse in which I was polite, posted an interesting matter (as per his own admission) that falls into the realm of the unexplained for many of those answers were unexplained.
Instead of allowing the post to stay up to allow a cordial and respectful conversation he decided to take the post after 24 hours of being up without modifying his rules or descriptions to make the deletion justifiable.
The mod of that subverse is not qualified to moderate a subverse following the guidances of Voat and even if the subverse is private, a submission or comment that falls under the normatives of that subverse shouldn't be deleted at his own convenience censoring free speech and dialogue or debate.
He is engaging in authoritarian and irrational moderation at convenience of his own perspectives.

I know for me on GreatAwakening, when it comes to submission posts, I have certain rules set in place. Like it has to be Q related, etc. Quality content. Since it’s his sub, He can do that. However comments are different. I think if you said that in the comment section and it was deleted, then that’s not right.
You crack me up. At least you are very polite. What do you mean by Jews “in the letter”?

Well on his subverse he states the rules that and I quote:
My post as you read has a lot of unexplained questions that serve as a starting point for a thoughtful and rational discussion from anyone. The owner of the subverse did stated that they were "good" questions and also stated that he like talking about topics related to them which one can assume he find them interesting.
In this case then, the post is within the boundaries that the owner specified, I would argue ambiguously, on his subverse. Yet because he did not like the theme of the post he deleted it. And how do I know he doesn't like it? @Ceasarkid posted something regarding the jewish question and the owner of the v/theunexplained deleted it with the comment that it wasn't a Nazi subverse (paraphrasing here).
So if it is not right to delete comments because there are not related to the subverse topic or the owner did not like it, that should also transcend to the post. As long as the post relates and is within the limits of the subverses rules, they should not be deleted. They can be downvoted, yes, but not deleted.
I wasn't always like this. But I have grown to see that the best way to approach these discussions or better said, conversations is with a softer yet not cucked approach.
Romans 2:28-29 (KJV)
By (((jews in the letter))) I refer to those jews that value the circumcision of the flesh more than the spirit. Those that make praises of them being born as a jew or have jewish heritage. Here at Voat, they are commonly known as kikes :)
By Jews in the spirit I refer to those that are circumcised in the spirit. This means that we value not or hold love for the ways of the world. That we know that our bodies are just a vessel of our soul and that we believe in Jesus Christ. That no matter our skin colour, our nationality, language, intelligence, as long as we praise the Lord for what we have and who we are, as well as everything we do, we do it in the Lord's name.
And by (((jew in the letter))) stooges I refer to those that promote the (((jews in the letter))) agenda, whether knowingly or not, as they promote as well a godless society.
In the end I hold no grudge against no one, I hope that they can realize they are in the wrong before the day of the Lord comes, but that will be their choice to take (or not).
