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.

The reddit way.
So easy to get you people to show your true colors.
LMAO.

What do you think my true colors are? Those of a censorious reddit mod? The standard of asking people to tag NSFW on a public forum is the absolute bare minimum. It doesn't affect anyone's ability to post or say anything - you simply have to tag it if it's NSFW. People who spam get banned, people who post dox and illegal content get banned, and now people who post content that can get you fired at work without any kind of warning will also get banned if they do it over and over repeatedly. No one will get banned if they simply tag their posts/comments. No additional rules will be implemented.
No, this is the voat way.

Yes.
Which hides the content (thumbnail). That is censorship and you are a lying censorship loving faggot.
You tell more lies, you've got users doxing in your sub you lying piece of shit. @puttitout is an unprincipled piece of shit too, telling the same lie and turning his head the other way when it happens.
Of course you are in bed with those reddit faggots. One of their mods is one of the biggest offenders of doxxing on voat.
Self censorship training. Exactly like reddit.
Heard that many times on voat.

It seems like you'd find a way to claim censorship even if I do absolutely nothing at all. If I actually wanted to push censorship in any form here, you'd think you'd have seen anything from me working towards it, at all, in the slightest, in the four years I've moderated this subverse up until now.
A NSFW tag is a method of categorizing content. It also filters out posts for people who have disabled adult content in their preferences. Is that censorship? Is it censorship if I unsubscribe from a default subverse, or if I block a subverse from appearing in /v/all? It only affects me if I do. Do you think that porn posts in the various porn subverses should not need NSFW tags? Aren't they appropriate in that kind of context?
I've removed one post containing personal information so far. If you see anything else that breaks the rules of voat, or the rules of this subverse, please report the offending content and I'll take action as necessary. Frankly, I don't care what the ProtectVoat people do or what else they're guilty of or who they're associated with, I'll support their ideas if I think they have merit and I'll condemn any individuals if they do unacceptable things like doxxing.

No. I'm calling out your actual censorship. Deny it all you want, safe space faggot.
Like you.
One of the many. You want a brownie button?
Ya, we see that. Safe space faggot.

Here are all the things I've censored on this subverse: Posts Comments
Take a look. You'll only find things that break the site-wide rules about spam and personal information. If you want to criticize me for that, go right ahead. All the evidence is right there in the open, so if any actual censorship of something that doesn't break the rules took place then you can cite that specific case and you'll have a legitimate grievance.
You can call people who want to filter the content they see whatever you want, ultimately it's their freedom to do so. They don't directly affect you or anyone else by choosing how they view stuff on the internet.

That is not all you are censoring. You have multiple posts censored on /v/aww/new right now.
Because you are a reddit tier safe space faggot.
absurdlyobfuscated ago
How are posts censored right now? Because they have a NSFW tag? Because people downvoat them?
We've discussed the NSFW tag, and I can't control how people up or down vote here. What do you expect me to do?

Stop being and catering to reddit tier safe faggots.
Stop breathing.
absurdlyobfuscated ago
That doesn't answer my question. I don't see how I'm catering to anyone.
No.
