On the whole, it looks like most Voaters are welcoming of the Stonetoss subverse, and for that I am very appreciative. However, a small but loud minority's has taken exception to my transition here, so in the interest of clarity I'll explain my intentions for the sub:
I want a fun, easy going sub. So, I don't actually care if you get banned if you bring down the mood of the sub. I really 100% don't. Negative people are never fun to be around - this place isn't a good match for you.
With that being said, mods have free reign to enforce that. I will let them use their best judgement. To the rest of you, enjoy!

Voat is a free speech website. If you are willing to ban people because they bring your mood down then go somewhere else. The only people who are welcoming of a censoring /stonetoss/ subverse are the the faggots that you brought with you from reddit. Please take them with you if/when you go somewhere else.
Alternatively, abandon your censorship plans, delete all the non-default rules, and enjoy your time on voat.

Voat's faq explicitly states certain subs can enforce their own rules with bans in addition to the global rules, not that I'd expect you to care.

That does not mean that it is encouraged or embraced by the community. Once upon a time voat was like "yeah we're ok with just being a reddit clone, we don't mind" but then people started coming here and enjoying freedom, and the culture is much more like the chans than it is like reddit. That's part of why you might notice some of the older subs have a laundry list of rules, but when you actually look at the mod logs and the user history of the mods you realize that the sub has actually been unmoderated for years.
