You know yesterday I would have argued with you, but today I have been told go back to Reddit if I don't like their methods. Called out for not answering them in 30 minutes (I was actually in the middle of answering them when they posted it) when I have flat out stated that I am intermittent on my use of voat and it is a reason I would be a poor mod, of course this was after it took them 4 hours to comment and even then it was the one mod that I was claiming was active. Finally got a response to past callouts in this thread. Told I don't understand the rules, probably true but then again it is nice that there is a link in the rules for me to follow for more details like the gaming sub... oh wait there isn't. and had something pointed out to me as a rule for the mods posted by Atko that is from a post almost the same age as my account.

Since you won't reply, I took the time to look through your history. You've only mentioned rule breaking posts 4 times. So I'm not really sure why you chose to post now unless there is something else going on here.

state only facts, not opinions or speculations.

OP quoted directly from the article. "“I don’t believe them, and neither should the American people … Personnel policy, however, is driven by the ‘diversity metrics’ outlined in the 2011 Report of the Military Leadership Diversity Commission. Diversity, not military readiness, is the highest priority.”".

His post fell within the rule.

Looks like someone wasnt on before this post reached a significant amount of upvoats and there for, accoding to Atko, shouldn't be removed.

It was an uncoming event offered by a university. Seems open to all so I guess it could be considered advertising. You marked it for Rule 2 though. I feel like that points to your lack of understanding of Rule 2 first showcased in the first one I posted.

and only typo responded

I followed the link and it appears Amy replied as well. You come across as someone who has a motive OP. Especially when a lot of these comments are in favor of removing the rule (because censorship) when you clearly like the rule, but posted because you want it enforced more. You failed to correct those people.

What's even worse is satire articles published here, then people defending them.

What is the issue with the rule? It's been the same one in place for months that the users agreed to and hasn't been changed. OP wants titles to be directly copied from the article. The rule says titles don't have to be copied directly from the article. They just need to be accurate.

My only concern about your possible nomination is your lack of post and comment contributions to /v/news.

Mods should be concerned about approving new mods who may have nefarious agendas.

I know that Reddit's /r/DebateReligion has been overrun by Muslim moderators who claim they are atheists and Christians... for example.

Were you ever given a reason for it to be removed? or they just removed it with no explanation?

Let's go to the scoreboard, why don't we? Currently it stands like this:

The post whose title bothers you so much: 140 points

Your outstanding effort to be an amateur moderator: 7 points

At this point it looks like goat population at large disagrees with you by a 20:1 ratio . . .

Ok, thank you for informing us that you are blind then and we don't have to take anything you say seriously anymore.

I created an "ideas for Voat" post about your concerns that /v/news moderators aren't "pulling their weight" and suggested a solution.

I like entertaining titles. Change the rule.

So the real problem here is that we need to remove that rule. I thought it was not just stupid, but plain wrong from the start. I adamantly disagree that a post should be removed because it doesn't religiously copy the title of the article. That rule doesn't make the subverse better, it just prevents (potentially useful) summarization. Because let's face it, in addition to often being grammatically offensive a lot of titles are intentionally misleading - aka clickbait.

You want to preserve cancer mods? Let them flourish on voat. Have them make subs about fucking children? That would make you happy?

I didn't say I want to see things get deleted now did I.

Normally voat grabs the pitch forks when they think the moderators are doing to much, I think it is going to take a long time for voat to find a happy medium.

No, delete cancer mods. Not sing koombaye. Are you retarded?

The regulars of voat have hated these people for a while now. Atko and Putitout don't do anything about it.

While I agree with you, this should be a fairly easy rule to enforce.

Especially since OP is flagging things for them.

They should get more mods, or change the rule (which I don't support).

Mods is a thankless, time consuming job.

If you are able to help, shoot them a note volunteering to become a Mod. If you can't Mod then help by messaging the offending poster or by down voating the post. Lastly, help make Voat what we all value by posting more.

Really most of the titles are fine, 95%+ of the time the poster simply copy and pastes the title that is great and easy to do.

Cops rarely punished when judges find testimony false, questionable - perfectly fine it is the exact title of the article

It is the ones that they ignore the title and twist it that annoy me especially when they are doing it to draw people in by sensationalizing them.

Would you @thrus be willing to help as a /v/news mod?

Is there anyone else here that wants to volunteer as a /v/mod?

That's a sincere question: perhaps the four current mods are insufficient because they all have other demands on their time?

That said, I do agree with you: I believe the recent spate of abortion pill advertisement posts is an indication that the current mods are failing to maintain a minimum quality for this sub... which is important to Voat because /v/news is one of the most popular subs!
