There has been a lot of discussion and drama re modding lately. We have multiple camps of opinions.
I want whats best for this sub. I'm not an experienced mod but I can see that leaving everything to its own devices has led to a lot of circlejerk, concern trolling, waste of space submissions.
This subverse is for the investigation of pizzagate connections, to further our understanding of the situation and find more relationships and potentially some evidence.
We are all concerned about shills and the subverse being compromised. Make no mistake, shills are here and in great force. They are trying to create drama, they are trying to frame us as racists, they are trying to mislead us and they are trying to distract us.
To that end, I am going to put the following rules in place and as mods we will start to enforce them. The purpose of these rules is to concentrate the efforts here and facilitate meaningful dialogue, as well as remove all the noise. This is going to be hard. Sorting things is hard. We will make mistakes. We will ask you guys for input. Please feel free to check the mod logs at all times and call us out if you have any objections.
These rules are open for discussion, below. Please let me know your thoughts.
1. Concern trolling posts will be deleted unless substantiated or adding significant value
There are currently a number of concern troll posts - such as concerns about antisemitism (that have zero examples or proof), concerns about the fact that we're doing it wrong etc. Concern trolling adds no value to the sub, it clutters it. We want to hear your concerns, you can IM us or use the @ handle.
2. Zero tolerance for spam
Spam posts will be deleted and users banned.
3. Title/picture only posts with no explanation
This is an investigation, explain how your submission is linked in. Dont be lazy.
Like I mentioned, I'm new to modding. We may add more rules as you guys comment below, and we may change the above. But for now I'm going to do a bit of a cleanup, feel free to provide feedback. I'm sick of the state of things as much as you guys.
If you want to be helpful, here's a link to the previous sticky which we will reinstate soon. It contains direction and where to focus - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1434672

thanks for input but I want to see what the sub looks like without all the trash. Its really demoralising to moderate this sub and feel like no one is contributing anything useful besides concern trolls. Lets see what we've got.

I agree. Purely from a user experience perspective, scrolling through a bunch of "the Jews..." and "hey don't talk about the Jews..." is annoying when you're just trying to stay on top of productive leads... I say be ultra liberal with your delete / ban hammer...

I am still too wet behind the ears to be familiar with all the subverses. Might I suggest that any overly religious biased posts be tossed into a "ItsTheJoos" subverse? (or some such pit for such idiocy). If they cannot stick to the subject (#pizzagate) without throwing in biased hate speech (just because they can), then they have NOTHING of value to contribute to the discussion. But instead of CENSORING them, just move THEIR biased comments over to the subverse dedicated to biased comments. Let them rail against the joos, the catolics, the whites, the blacks, whoever, away from the main discussion HERE, which is:
This subverse is for the investigation of pizzagate connections, to further our understanding of the situation and find more relationships and potentially some evidence.

users need a thread to vent both sides of the "religion as a culprit" issue. No one topic needs multiple threads
New threads starters should be directed to the old ones... but the community should be helping with that.
Let's get organized a bit better people. Try to find a place for your submission, don't just make a new thread plz
