Mods not showing up in /v/news to enforce rules (news)

submitted ago by thrus

I notice over and over articles coming up that you can look at the title an guess that the user is altering them. The recent one today spawning this was "Religion of Peace strikes again as 16 year old girl is burned to death in Pakistan" the actual title of the article is "16-yo girl burnt alive in Pakistan for helping couple elope". This item was 8 hours old when I saw it. I never see a note from the mods on these I have even made a point to alert the mods then check back later and nothing, so I decided to do some looking at the mods comment history for the last week in /v/news

amyacker - 0

forksandgusy - 0

system - 0

Typo - 20

So among them they spend enough time in the sub they mod for one of them to make 20 comments. In 7 days

This was even brought up 6 days ago in /v/newsmods by @unruly https://voat.co/v/newsmods/comments/1013254 and only typo responded.So I have to ask why have the rule about "User-editorialized titles are subject to deletion. State only the facts, not opinions or speculation." if it is never enforced?

Edit: I think I will partly take Typo's advice and just un sub /v/news Do I want heavy modding I'm not sure but I do want the ones that are written to be enforced especially when the mods know the rule is wanted.

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).

Actually I stopped flagging them my latest comments are along the lines of "Rule 2 User-editorialized titles are subject to deletion. but don't worry the mods never enforce it." to many times of just getting nothing leading to me being disillusioned that they will respond, explaining why the post is fine would be ok but we don't even get that when we call them out just nothing. and as far as I can tell from looking today only Typo is even active on Voat.

Edit: I will add that Typo is even aware that the rule in question is wanted by the community as it has been discussed before, they said so in response to unruly.
