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

What about the fact that pizzathrowaway was caught upvoting his own, and downvoting others posts from multiple accounts?

I will let him make a statement on that, it's his personal information and his actions.

So you're basically saying that you won't take action against what he did?
Odd.
I mean what he did warrants a fucking ban from the sub, or at the very least stripped of all privilege. This sure makes you all look like fucking shills.

pizzathrowaway is allowed the same voting rights as the rest of us. How stupid he chooses to use his privilege is his business. Is it bad? Not particularly. Stupid? Definitely. Should he be subject to CENSORSHIP because he is stupid? NO. This is VOAT, where "nigger faggot" is like saying "Hi! How are ya!" So as much as we don't agree with his stupid, we have no right to suggest or demand it be censored. Just my take on the flavor of this place...

He didn't say "nigger faggot", he used various alt accounts and was sliding discussion.

Did you not read the "noob welcome," when you joined? I guess not. I did. "nigger faggot" is not a jaw dropping thing here. Re-read what I wrote. I was not accusing anyone of saying it.
