So this is going to be a bit of a vent.

This is a an example of recent PV overreaching and interrupting the sub. https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3223393 Keep in mind that a lot happened before and after this post. For all his virtue signaling, @kevdude, behind the scenes, had @srayzie address (counter troll) @zyklon_b at QRV where modlogs weren't an issue for him. That's how he measures success in his mission to free people from tyranny, and justifies harassment of mods (usually reacting to PV/trolling operations) who he charges with future crimes that haven't happened.

The escalation was so predictable even @kevdude should have seen it coming, which begs the question, why does he insist on meddling in the research subs like GA and PG? Read @Vindicator's account of the misinformation @Kevdude has claimed about his role in policing pizzagate and unbanning someone who should never been unbanned. The SBBH and PV and GA drama spans subverses and platforms. imo. Given the number of various parties with an interest in derailing the sub, the issue is far more a colossal shitshow than can easily be addressed in a short time. You'd probably need a year to tease it out. I've been on here long enough to confirm that.

The best action I've seen to date to stop the cancerous effect on GA was after @crensch took over and put an end to it the @kevdude/PV/SBBH angle. Shutting out the avenues for the performance artists to make GA their stage. Reading old history about PV and @kevdude is just more of the history of the same issue, and if it can't be changed now, with a protest by people who know him best, what chance do regular users have to standing up to the manipulation and abuse and division tactics, forum sliding, off topic dissertations, low effort swill flooding, canned 'conversations' and more? Is that how they should be required to spend their time instead of researching?

Now @kevdude has released additional personal info about @crensch and @srayzie (complete with petty, personal insults about @srayzies body ffs) that has nothing to do with GA, only the interpersonal nature and potential circumstances (conflicts) and motives behind his obsession in interfering with GA.

He told untruths about where the pics came from (involved yet another PG troll, anti GA/anti Trumper who @srayzie unfortunately befriended and @kevdude apparently meddled in that PG drama involving his being banned/unbanned. Honestly, who can keep track of this, who wants to keep track of it? Refer again to @Vindicator for info if necessary).

But @srayzie is not the "THE STANDARD BEARER OF PV" as @kevdude called himself. She doesn't make the far reaching decisions for voat as a whole. Her personal foilbles aren't on trial, she was well liked by the subscribers of the sub she built. Her effectiveness as an owner and mod on GA was undermined by PV trying to micro manage the issues into their template. imo.

@kevdude has admitted to @crensch (don't have link handy) that he could care less about the current users of GA (because there's always a hurt party) and expressed disdain that they didn't engage in enough downvoting. He had advised that no more rules be made to help them with shitposters (presumably because he thought they deserve what they get if they don't behave the way he wants).

He is NOT an advocate for users on Voat (other than the trolls perhaps). Meanwhile @zyklon_b had sent people to purposefully troll for downvotes and bans. And my question was to PV, how is this reconcilable? Down votes feeds the trolls in that scenario, bans feed the trolls when that is the reason they are there.

All these accounts and reasons sum up why research sites deserve more independence to function with out the outside dysfunction of performance art, non accountable shitposters and their satire and manufactured rage over being banned as if they ever intended to participate on the research site in good faith. My contention, and I posted it response to @crensch address to the sub users, is this:

GA is a Research subverse with a focus on research, for researchers and Qanon supporters at large. I want to declare that threads infested and co-opted with shitposters are defacto shit posting threads and the comments can be deleted by Mods.

They have no restrictions in their subs, they are protected everywhere they go, and they spread the culture of their subs all over voat, but most perniciously it seems, within research subs. I would want admin @puttitout more formally recognize that research subs have a right to exist as such, having their own culture (not to say that people don't debate research obviously), but with the same protection that PV has given to shitposters and porn subs based on their 'culture' and their respective 'purpose.' https://voat.co/v/GreatAwakening/3270813/19118236/10#19118236
