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.

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.
