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.

so if voats culture is to not moderate and let the users decide via up votes, than why do we need a moderator for this? wouldn't it be more logical to have no moderator, or at least less moderators?
EDIT: with the exception of spam of course.... i guess we need someone for that.

That doesn't work, and here's why: There are so many troll, disinformation, and pointless posts getting submitted that the good posts aren't getting much attention. Everyone can review deleted posts. If you have a real problem with a deletion, we have a dedicated thread for these concerns. I'm going to start deleting these complaint posts. They are part of the same problem. Too much distraction clogging up the sub and keeping us from focusing on important leads and evidence.

So? That's a forum for you. Who cares? Who the fuck are you to say what is and isn't useful? 99.9% of pizzagate is disinformation. This is voat. Read the FAQ. "good posts aren't getting much attention" They will if they are good. LIKE THE REST OF THE SUBS ON VOAT.
@kingkongwaswrong and @adhdferret This dude literally just said "I'm going to start deleting these complaint posts." Nice job ignoring what EVERYONE is complaining about. Stop doing stupid shit, people will stop complaining.

you said set the rules clearly, I did. Have you read them? Complaints go into a dedicated thread for complaints which we review and respond to.

Again, just going off and deleting posts is not the answer. Also, voat is very clear on deleting posts. And these rules are not CLEAR, they are purposefully ambiguous so you can decide what you want:
Unfounded, outlandish connections will be removed. (this is literally ALL connections, this is SUPER ambiguous).
EVERY new claim needs a valid, clear source and an explanation as to how it's relevant or furthers the investigation (not possible, its an investigaton into a shadow pedo ring)
EDIT: also this isn't a complaint thread. I am responding to you and your shit mod.
