Discussion is not being stifled. ONLY extraneous noise that does not contribute is being REMOVED (NOT DELETED). Those irrelevant and unrelated submissions and posts ARE STILL on VOAT. You just have to scroll to the bottom of the page and click the links for Removed content.

Noise is noise, and if you are only producing noise, you will be lumped in with the religious conspiracy noise, and the REDDIT threads noise, and the Censorship Whine noise, and ALL other noise NOT SPECIFICALLY RELATED to #pizzagate. Regardless how interesting or compelling the post. And no, coming here and whining about how the owner of THIS subverse does not pass YOUR "validity" test because of how long he has been on VOAT is duplicitous and naive. VOAT is a platform supposedly 'free' of manipulation and subverse deletion, unlike Reddit. There may be other venues that offer the same freedom, but VOAT was chosen by Kong. Who are YOU to judge that this makes him somehow "unqualified" to make a #pizzagate subverse here?

You say, " I want the investigation to proceed unhindered. That is all I want." Well, WHY are you hindering things by complaining on what YOU perceive to be some sort of lack of validity based upon time here at VOAT? Facts need no age of existence. Bullshit and irrelevant and unrelated posts that have little to nothing to do with #pizzagate beyond being pedo-oriented are hindering the investigation of SPECIFIC information that DIRECTLY can be connected to #pizzagate.

And trying to use uv/dv stats as validation for the noise being submitted is so much hogwash. This subverse does not run by popularity. The smell test here is very, very simple. It is either SPECIFICALLY related to #pizzagate or it isn't. Not 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon related, SPECIFICALLY related. Even submissions that are agreed with wholeheartedly are removed if they do not pass the smell test. Personality has nothing to do with it. Popularity has nothing to do with it. Fucking Reddit has nothing to do with it. THE TOPIC and how the submission can connect to it SPECIFICALLY has everything to do with it.

As one former mod to another, you need to better disassociate yourself from the ability to perform your duties free of bias. Whether you like it or agree with it is irrelevant. Truly. Whether it fits within the Rules of Submission is ALL you should be concerned with. Once you start using your personal values to make judgement calls, you have abandoned all hope of impartiality. And to then come here and complain about "censorship," because posts were removed, but are STILL easily accessible , is unfair, misguided, and wrong.

Please DO go to /v/pizzagateunedited and observe how quickly any valid investigations will be buried by the tons of irrelevant horseshit posted by people who think they have found something SO interesting that everyone needs to stop and focus on THEIR piece of the puzzle. Even if their piece is from another puzzle and really doesn't fit in at all...Perhaps once you do, you will better comprehend why the Rules for Submission are being so strict in enforcement.

And REMEMBER, all posts removed are STILL available to be read. They just no longer exist on this subverse where they do no belong.
