It is about precedent. Comment deletion starts a slippery slope.
No, it's that I can't either make the subverse private or turn comments off, and it exists for a specific purpose so the only recourse I have when people don't use it for that purpose is to remove the comment. This is a case where reality trumps your optics argument, and that's in a world where I care about optics in the first place.
Who is anyone to tell me I can't have a private archive subverse? Just block it, that's what it exists for. This cannot possibly be worth this much mental energy for anyone involved.
Your submissions show up in v/all which makes them visible to Voat at large. Therefore the discussion is public domain. If you wish to censor comments take your subverse out of the public domain by raising the minimum CCP needed to downvote.
So? They're linking to posts hours old with usually less than 10 total views. The entire reason I am doing this is to revitalize conversation in those threads, and I hold no authority there so there is nothing stopping someone from clicking the blue text and then commenting in the public area. My subverse is my own private archive. If someone wants to comment in there they are more than welcome to do so, as is evident by the comments that exist already. It's only when someone posts something "on-topic" in the wrong place that I will remove it. Period.
