How so? We're just getting a lot of submissions lately that violate our submission-quality rules. The sub is still relatively new, so there are a lot of users who are submitting posts without reading the rules carefully. Also, we're getting attacked by shills (such as with the porn flood attack yesterday) who spam irrelevant stuff.
Honestly, the submission-quality rules are too strict. Things like "titles have to clearly indicate connection to pizzagate" are just onerous. The result is a lot of reasonable stuff is getting deleted for technicalities like that.
The user can always repost with a better title, and can you give an example of a good post that was removed? If you find an example of such, please us know. We don't want good leads or evidence to slip through the cracks anymore than you do. I really don't think that's happening, though. Some users just need time to adjust to the rules. It's really not that hard to make a post that follows the rules:
Establish that there's a good possibility it's directly relevant to pizzagate investigation (avoid cheerleading and unsourced meta discussion), source any factual claims (if it's genuinely a fact, you can find a source, otherwise just acknowledge it's an opinion/claim), and make a title that demonstrates relevance and accurately describes the content of the post (and post as a discussion post to explain relevance if necessary). That's basically it.
t. Things like "titles have to clearly indicate connection to pizzagate" are just onerous.
Really? Making sure each post explains its connection is too much? Sounds like whining to me.
The result is a lot of reasonable stuff is getting deleted for technicalities like that.
"Technicalities" like "Connect the dots in your mind for us, and don't just push shit out there so hundreds of others can waste time trying to figure out your intent"?
Awful, awful argument.
The rules are there to make the parsing of useful vs. non-useful easier. It's there to help those that are just picking up the baton for that particular branch of investigation to be able to make the connections, instead of just random shit being posted with no explanation.
and what the hell is with this '10 upvotes per 24 hours'?
Why all the rules? Is this a 'libertarian' group? (LOL - okay, that's a joke.)
And this reply may be one too many too, so --- I'll see you tomorrow.
V.S.
