Link to summary sticky here (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1467064)) - will be reinstated shortly.
Hi Guys.
Just want to say I'm really proud of how far we've come as a group of people. So many quality posts, and great critical thinking, calling out shills and using your downvotes and upvotes.
I'm stepping down as 'main' mod of this sub
So I got a bit burnt out in the transition of this sub. It was a bit of a shitstorm but with the help of /v/protectvoat, @crensch, @kevdude and my new mods we are currently in a relatively stable state.
I am unable to keep modding this sub with the level of effort that it requires from a 'leader' level mod, and this coupled with personal changes means I need to step away.
To this end I have searched for a trustworthy and intelligent mod team. I sourced my choices from within the community - I did not accept anyone who requested a moderator position. So far they have all acted excellently.
Feel free to check out the list of mods below, or our sub that we discuss how to moderate pizzagate on.
As outlined in the below link., I will be staying on as an owner along with 2 other owners as a 3-way redundancy effort.
A listing of all the current mods or advisors with their role and accountabilities
A separate sub for moderators and advisors to discuss meta concerns re moderation of this sub
All pings (@username) to get attention going forward should go to one of the other moderators. Ping at least 2 moderators
On Shills
- There are shills trying to slide and dilute our content here
- They are either buying votes or farming votes so they can downvote/upvote against our interests
- It is very difficult for you guys to combat this other than being very critical of everything, and downvoting any low quality, clickbaity posts to oblivion
- The only things we can do at the moment is hold posts accountable to the rules
- We are trying to figure out how to combat shills in other ways, stand by for some more plans

it's total bullshit about a week or two after you created this sub the rules were changed to where only voaters who've had accounts for 30 days can create a sub.
I wonder how many actual sexual abuse victims are a little annoyed at this shit? I imagine it's a few, you take a systemic problem, one that's been around for generations, real prevalent in the military & government ranks for years, complete with cover-ups, and here on voat you've got to throw this shit in their faces every-day, as if you're saving the world, or somehow going to. When those who've lived through such and some how managed to not have their lives entirely destroyed, know it's bullshit.
Idgaf, erroneously or correctly label anyone you want, pretend your only detractors are shills, pretend simply increasing public awareness, which this isn't really doing, is going to change anything.
What this thread needs though, someone to go through dig through the bullshit, because there is tons of it, and create a subverse, a blog, something with only the most relevant content. Because there's no easy or comprehensive way to present all the relevant factual information, and certainly no order to it. But just to see the same shit posted over and over, to see all these bullshit personal stories or takes on things like it's a group therapy session on here some days......... It's like everyone's got an ulterior motive, or ignorant, couple that with the actual shills and such......, and that's just the truth as plainly as I see it.

In my experience people who have been abused are very concerned about this as they have every reason to be. Until they come out and take responsibility for their cryptic emails, pedophiliac art and disgusting comments on social media regarding children we can only assume they are guilty AF and NEED TO BE STOPPED
