There has been an increasing number of content that is bordering or crossing the lines concerning making "threats." So much so that we have been formally contacted regarding some content. We are better than this.
I'm not a lawyer, and you're not a lawyer, and it isn't Voat's place to defend illegal content. We don't have a staff to review content and don't have a team of lawyers dedicated to deciding what is and isn't lawful. I'm not also into endlessly debating what is and isn't legal as subjects like this often devolve into when everyone at the party is an "internet expert."
We have to deal with this issue and if content is in the grey area, we are going to remove it upon request. We also have to cooperate with law enforcement, I hope everyone fully understands that we are not attempting to operate outside of the law. Voat's purpose is to provide a collusion and censorship free place for discussion, not taking on a government.
It's easy to avoid this entire area: Word content maturely, avoid implicit and explicit language concerning the involvement of violence and the content won't be in question. Simple, so very simple.
After this post there will most likely be "users" testing this line and hoping we remove their content in order to claim censorship on Voat. This is just how things like this work. Don't fall for this Voat. It would be simply incredible if we just worked together on this instead of the typical shit storm posts like this usually generate.
As a reminder: Voat is for your personal, lawful use. See it here: https://voat.co/help/useragreement
That's all. Thanks for reading. Carry on.
Edit:
ProTip: I decided to post this before anything legal would prevent me from doing so. I have a feeling I know where this is going to lead.
I've also updated the canary to reflect this as well (this may be the last time that little guy gets an update, we will just have to wait and see).

This is literally why you banned me, I saw this shit, too, and tried to squash what I could find with the almighty purple arrow that I thought was supposed to be used in instances of low quality undesirable posts. I honestly want to disassociate myself entirely now because of these posts, getting amplified by these Qoyim ramping up the "them vs us" rhetoric. I got death threats for pointing out lies and inconsistencies in this Q shit. This was the only place I could (somewhat anonymously) put my stupid on display so more intelligent people could set my records straight, the only place where I could be sure to find a group of people who understand the damages caused by these faggots and pedophiles being strung along by Jews, and it hasn't been that place in a long time. I don't even up or downvoat anything anymore because this site's been so fucked already, it doesn't do any good.

Guilt by association is something you shouldn't fear, only cowards fear their opposition that much

Disgust is what is repelling me, not fear. Too many Q niggers applying identical leftist tactics to shit a good place up is what is happening. The new batch of these fucks are 1488HH-style accounts.

Fuck, I looked over that AllLibsAreDemons highest and lowest posts, this is obviously an account controlled by a group that wants this place shut down:
Oops, they let their commie mask slip here!

That's exactly what I thought! I can get a dude being mad, my blood's boiled in ways I didn't know were possible seeing some of the shit I've seen going on in the world, but that behavior is something very intentionally crafted to entice someone to do something they shouldn't while simultaneously dragging the site and its users into the mud.

100%, we've been here long enough to see how things have changed over time. I lost interest at one point when the daily stormer was shutdown and all those fags flooded this site eventually I started coming back more but I haven't posted things in a long time because this has become a bit of a 1488 echo chamber.
If you speak logic when you don't agree with that agenda you're downvoted to oblivion but lately there's been a ramping up for actual calls of violence and any person with some intelligence (like the intelligence that the 1488 gang implies simply because of 'muh genetics') know that calls of violence on in a public internet forum will just get shit shutdown.
