Since my call-to-arms comment in the previous sticky seemed to be almost 100% ignored, you get to read this first.
We need someone that will update and organize a sticky-worthy post of what is KNOWN. This person does not have to be the best at investigating new leads, they just need to be awesome at taking a lot of information from lots of places and CRUSHING THE LIFE OUT OF THAT INFORMATION to make a sticky-worthy post of nothing but diamonds of VALID information.
This sticky-award is not permanent. As soon as someone comes up with a better sticky-worthy submission, THAT one gets stickied.
USERS:
This is also a general call-to-arms to let you know a few things: (subject to change)
1) Banning shills will both not help, and will harm the mods and subverse here on Voat.
2) Banning shill leads is not something we're likely to ever be able to do - a flair is probably the best you're going to get.
3) Removal of posts is frowned upon and puts mods under the microscope. We WILL remove for removal-tier rules, but if there's even an ounce of uncertainty, the post will likely just get a flair.
4) WE NEED YOUR HELP to call out these shills. Comment where you find their bullshit and call it out, or find a shill you hate and follow that fucker around and 1000-years-of-pain that faggot.
5) WE NEED YOUR HELP with pinging us to rule violations or things to look out for. There are thousands of you guys, and 10? of us. We're not always active and not always able to pick up what you're putting down, which brings me to...
6) BE CLEAR IN YOUR SUBMISSIONS AND (info-heavy)COMMENTS. Links. Archives. Description of WHY THEY ARE RELEVANT.

The comments are a free for all and I don't care about the cut and thrust of a forum like this. Actually I like it. My point is the GOAL is imperative: exposing paedo elite rings.
If a first timer came to this forum, the sticky is in reality, the "public face" and advertisement for the forum and our goals. It should be professional, respectful, mature and inclusive.
People won't judge the forum by the odd comment, shill or arguement. But they will by the "official" sticky.
My only point was to alter the language a bit. If the same point can be made equally well, without language some might find crass, why not.

Very well said.

You are 100% correct.

I agree completely. I think changing that part just increases the percentage of people who will keep looking around/subscribe after reading the sticky. We need numbers right now.
