It has been suggested that I moderate and I have a invite from the owner @kingkongwaswrong. The reason for this is not to step on toes but to advise on this deleted fiasco. Many don't understand the way voat works in that we don't delete things. We let it be up to the community and voat that shit out.
Now one exception is ckear spam. We no like the spam. You want to advertise buy a slot. You want to be a troll then get some negative ccp and have restrictions. Simple as that. Now this clearing out the new list like a Hillary Clinton server isn't cool.
Before I accept this I want to ask you if this is acceptable because this is your community and your subverse. I don't want to make anyone here pissed off.
So please discuss and leave comments I will answer as I can.
Forgot to add.
I am at work so all comments will be answered at around 6am est.

You've left out shills, cointel and jtrig efforts consistently in your moderation discussions. These things are real. Dont confuse them with 'free speech', their tactics are underhand and designed to confuse real interested members. What do you suggest we do about that? Just let them be?

Shills = "someone I don't agree with". YOU LET THEM BE, the community isn't retarded, they can DV them to hell. As we have done for YEARS here before you got here. DV here LIMIT their voting and posting, let them post, let people vote them, and then it's easy to tell who are actual shills. If someone is so stupid they can't figure out shilling, they should probably find a more safe space site. I am toning down being an asshole to you, this is an honest response. There is a clear distinction between shill and spam. If people are "investigating" this, they need to be smart enough to know when not to waste time on a shill.

well honestly If I were a shill I would be angling to try to get us to leave them alone as well. I did leave the sub alone for a few days and then I had people suspecting my motives because the sub was a shitpile. Can't win can I.

You can, make the rules clear (within the scope of voat). Be consistent. And ignore people from reddit complaining about those rules until they get used to a site like this. Then in 6 months you can address real concerns.

The rules are clear. The community isn't complaining. It's just you and your gang.

LOL I don't have a gang. The community IS complaining. Try to actually contribute to the site and you will see. Your rules are ambiguous. You know what, I think I might not actually start being nice, I thought you were actually looking at taking on the advice given to you, seems you aren't.
