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

Mod - Hi - there is a new really well organized post that lays out all the pizzagate stuff with links, fully supported etc....Many people are calling for it to be sticky so that when newcomers get here (there is a lot more traffic today and prob more with Milo talk tonight) there is something for them to really grab onto instead of just the "new" or "hot" stuff.
Also we need a definition of what constitutes SPAM - i posted a link trying to get this article upvoted and I was reported as spamming. As I have no personal gain but am feebly trying to add some editorial organization to this mad teeming place, I think this was wrongly reported. I don't see a definition to the right so please provide one so that good posts aren't deleted as spam by shills.
Here is the link Explainer COULD YOU PLEASE STICKY RIGHT AWAY? (I have no affiliation with it at all, just want to help get some organization going)

What demonic being made up the rule we only get one sticky? Anyway it looks like it was made sticky so YAY. Also can the powers that be write a specific definition of spam? Thanks sorry to keep you working but when all the power is invested in the mods, you have to do all the work. : ( If you want to delegate some of it sometime I'm game. thx.
