TThen fucking earn it like all the old goats had to, giving 100 ccp to any newfag that asks for it completely defeats the purpose of the 100 ccp lock, how many CTR shills and downvoat sellers have had their accounts fed off of you pizzagate fucktards helping them shill against your own cause.

Edit: goddamn I hate typing on a touch screen.

I feel bad for replying to you instead of the parent, but I already deleted his comment.

I'm a new mod here, and I want to point out that I deleted the comments, because they were just asking for up votes without contributing content.

Just be warned that comment deletions for anything other than site wide rule violations are a really controversial topic on voat, it's not a system sub or anything so hopefully you don't get too much flak for it as you seem to have good intentions.

I'm generally of the opinion that comments that are not illegal or blatant spam should stay even if stupid, but then again there was absolutely no way to argue for upvoat begging comments being in any way on-topic, and at least some of them were arguably spam.

Just posting this comment goes a long way towards keeping up moderator transparency.

Thanks for the feedback. I felt bad about deleting it, and bad about leaving it up.

I just wish that there were a way to undelete them.

You shouldn't have deleted their post. It's censorship, you can't fight CTR censorship with your own. You have to force them into the light and dispute their arguments, not just delete someone because you disagree with them. Your job is to remove spam, not decide what I can and cannot view.

Investigate1999 ago

It doesn't really force them into the light, and disputing them doesn't help, too. You only have so much time in each day. You'd be wasting it, if you argued with them.

I didn't delete the comment just because I disagreed with them. Calling for up votes is kind of spammy.

Dalmo ago

No it isn't. You don't have the right to make that decision. Plenty of people do the same thing without being banned. Learn your place and your responsibilities as a moderator or give up the power. You don't get to decide what I can and cannot voat on. Calling for upvoats isn't against the rules, so you are now just deleting a post because you personally don't agree with it. It's not about what you personally agree with.

Investigate1999 ago

It had nothing to do with me personally disagreeing with it. At the time, it appeared to be against the rules.

Dalmo ago

But it wasn't. So maybe before you act, you should think and make sure it's against the rules. Instead of just doing whatever you feel like.

Investigate1999 ago

I didn't do whatever I felt like. I didn't feel like doing it.

Dalmo ago

You shouldn't have. So if it wasn't against the rules, and you didn't want to do it, then why did you delete it? You are not an acceptable moderator, you should demodd yourself considering you have no idea how to fulfill the requirements of your position.

Investigate1999 ago

I did it, because at the time I thought that it was against the rules. I said that already.

Dalmo ago

Exactly. As a moderator it's your job to know what the rules are before you take action. So because of your gross incompetence and your pro-censorship attitude from your recent migration from Reddit, you have proven yourself to be an incompetent mod. You should step down, shitty people like you are the reason this site is failing. Dumb mods with no idea of how to do their job.

Investigate1999 ago

It was 1 simple mistake, I did read up on things before I acted on things.

Dalmo ago

If you read up then you should have been able to determine if it's an allowed post or not. Censorship is unacceptable in all forms.

Investigate1999 ago

I didn't read the part about deleting comments. I read the welcome message about how they hated posts asking for up votes, and the other stuff.
