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

I would like to make a suggestion for daily or weekly sticky threads. Things like: "New leads discovered from 11/26 to 12/3" "Daily investigation thread 11/26", etc.
In these sticky threads, and ONLY these sticky threads, there could be rules to keep the investigation on track. I imagine something like "top comments must be a link to a new piece of evidence and why it might mean something", "replies to top comments must make an argument to support or debunk the evidence presented", etc.
Pros:
-Keeps investigation on track
-A structured pattern of discussion would help to prevent shilling and sliding
-Minimizes mod power as users will still be the ones submitting and deciding on evidence
Cons:
-Would introduce extra maintenance to make sure mods are not enforcing the sticky thread rules with bias
-People will rightfully say this feels reddit-y
Your thoughts?

dude i would love for that, but I don't have the brain power,time or autism to keep on top of leads, connections and then make new stickies. Whenever someone DOES write up a good thread with that info, I always add it to the sticky. The FBI leads got added to the sticky as a key focus area - I will bring that back once the mod rules are sorted out.
If you compile a list of those things and send them through I'll be sure to add them.
