Due to recent so called "incidents" or whatever you shall call it. We want to put in writing, that unwritten rule.
Pizzagate and it's civilian investigators will not condone threats/actions of any kind to individuals, or businesses, named or otherwise in any evidence accumulated over the course of this investigation.
Doing so may net you a ban. We don't want to censor anyone, but we also don't want any reason for this forum to be shut down.
Questions, feel free to ask. I may not be able to respond tonight, but we shall respond when we have the time. You may also ping individuals directly.
Keep digging, we all want to bring down this putrid ring.

This is voat. This sub will not get shut down for users threatening other users. Talk to the PV mods; they'll tell you how it works around here. Do not spread false information, especially as a moderator of one of the largest subs on this forum. Thanks.

None of us want the forum being targeted legally for takedown due to any persons threats (even false flag "attempts")

We have hate subs on this forum-people say fat people should be burned with fire in almost every post on v/fph. Personal information of the people in the pictures that are posted is not always censored. Mods definitely don't censor it. The users can and sometimes do. No one gets shut down for words here. Take a look around.

I want to emphasis that /v/pizzagate is on a much more public level than /v/fatpeoplehate at this present moment and while words may not fully predict action, it could be used in the future as a way to justify a search warrant and shut down by the FBI if it were to get to that point.
I mentioned in my comment below that we understand not everyone means it and it plays out in context. But if we start getting threads calling for attacks on X Y or Z, or comments attempting to gather people for an attack or possibly suggesting someone go out and do something. We may have to step in.
Edit: We won't stop people from protesting. We won't stop you from getting a physical group together to discuss or investigate. Just don't break the law and everything should be fine and dandy.

Okay, but again, words here will not get this sub shutdown, and to say otherwise is misleading the userbase. You're right, it is on a public level, and those warrants would be specific to users that made the threat. My point is, none of the hate subs have gotten shut down for words. If you want another rule, fair enough, but maybe at some point in the near future, when this community has downvoating capabilities, you can get community input on all of these rules you have on the sidebar. Many of which are vague, sporadically enforced, and limit content. Thanks.

We are open for discussion at anytime. Please refer to /v/pizzagatemods for specifics. All suggestions and opinions appreciated. I will bring this up with them tomorrow. In fact, why not ping them about it now for further discussion @kingkongwaswrong @Crensch

It's too late for me now, and the majority of users that comment and submit here still do not have downvoating capabilities. You need their views, whether they choose to voice them with a vote or a comment.
