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.

/aww is getting worse. You're not dealing with censors, you're dealing with one crazy person named Jeff who will keep doing his shit so long as you continue to make it easy and fun for him. There are specific accounts he's repeatedly used to post gore because he can. Ban those accounts and he'll go into a rage, mostly offline. Make Jeff his parole officer's problem. For now it's a game for him to see how long it takes to drive you crazy like him.
If you ban him, sure he'll go into a rage and suddenly a bunch of sleeper accounts will suddenly wake up and start complaining about "censorship'. Then a bunch of other users will point out its just Crazy Jeff the gorefag. And life will go on.

@absurdlyobfuscated this makes it sound as if gore is allowed.

He can't ban it due to his own interests, and perhaps someone finds that Gore shit appealing? Being this is a system sub he can't just ban shit as it would go over like a lead balloon.
What he is doing is right and giving the people doing it just enough rope to hang themselves with.
You know about the searchvoat function? Well you can limit this to a sub and just search NSFW and then build a list to compare to something later and start to build a profile.

Yeah I use the search function. He can’t ban it? Has someone asked?
AR47 ago
He can’t because he is a good guy.
I know him personally and can vouch for his integrity. It goes against the principles of voat to just ban shit and more so within a system sub. This way he can make it somewhat better and stop the spam or at least report the accounts that do it.

Oh ok. Yeah I think Putt seems like a great guy.

If they're gonna mod a system sub, they have work to do.
