This subverse now has a new rule: No untagged NSFW content
This includes depictions of nudity, violence, and gore. Any untagged posts will be tagged by the moderators and flaired as appropriate, and for both posts and comments a formal warning will be issued to the user. Three warnings in a seven day period will result in a permanent ban from the subverse. Any bans related to this rule will contain a link to the comment detailing the violations in the ban reason, visible in the log of banned users. Enforcement of this rule will begin tomorrow, 2018-12-08.
Example warning:
This [post|comment] violates the rule "No untagged NSFW content". In the future, please [tag your post via the "toggle nsfw" option|designate your comment as NSFW by having a description of the content or "NSFW" somewhere in the comment]. Note that three violations of this rule within a period of seven days will result in a permanent ban.
Your previous violations of this rule:
If you see any untagged NSFW posts or comments, please report and select the new rule or ping the mods.
Thank you to everyone who weighed in on the previous discussion about implementing rules. I believe this is the best course of action to maintain the subverse's integrity while still upholding voat's core principles of freedom and transparency. Please feel free to discuss, and let me know if you have any concerns or possible changes you'd like to see.

This doesn't help in my opinion. What (tagged) NSFW posts are appropriate for /aww?

Here's one that's actually fits the subverse. (NSFW, porn) Looks like the image host it used is down, but it had an album full of naked women posing with bunnies. But the more important point is that it shouldn't be up to me to decide what's appropriate for a system subverse. If it doesn't break a sitewide rule or universal standard, then it shouldn't get removed.

Disagree. I tried that attitude with /theology and gave up on the sub because I couldn't out compete the irrelevant spam on my own and there was like 2 subscribers. From reading the comments the community wanted some moderation, and I saw a fair bit of "no porn and no gore" sentiment.

Can you offer proof of spam problem in /v/theology? Your removal log shows nothing within the past two years.

That's because I didn't remove anything because it wasn't technically spam in the "buydiamonds.com 10%off" way. What I'm saying is this "never remove anything that's technically no spam/dox/illegal" is not the best route.
Actually I did delete a dox post post once, but that's it.

Can you provide a few links to some posts in /v/theology that you personally want buried? That list might give a better idea where you're coming from.

It was so long ago and I don't know how to sort by old post first.
I kinda knew I was asking for trouble but I had seen a lot of civil theological debates so I didn't think it was that much of an outlandish dream. I didn't want nor try to control it (beyond some commenting reminding posters of the point of the sub.).
From what I recall there was a lot of posts that should have been in v/religion , v/internetfightclub and v/news as well as a lot of shit posts (e.g. "so and so is a dick"). And almost nothing discussing theology except "religion is all bullshit" with no effort to try and discuss the theological reasons that supposedly made all religions shit.

You are free to remove yourself as a mod of that sub. You are also of course free to interject in conversation threads there.

I don't know. I guess I'm not ready to go back there yet nor am I ready to remove myself. I gave full power to Conspirologist because he asked but I don't know if I trust him or not. He's not doing a worse job than me but he doesn't have the heat it had when it was a new sub.
I just wanted people to have their theological discussions in /v/theology same way I want cute stuff in /v/aww and gore in /v/gore . I don't know why people consider that censorship. To me it's censorship to put things in the wrong sub because then you can't find it if you're looking for that stuff.
Edit: in your view what are the merits of being a janitor?
