Well, since the site is so new, I wanted to see how the community reacts and handles this type of situation. My site is against censorship and post deletion, and will be run from the perspective of encouraging dialogue instead of deleting and forcing mod/admin opinions down people's throats. Posts that are decided by the community to be bullshit or wrong will be filed away in a tag called "dead leads" or "misinformation" (as opposed to being deleted). If you look, there was another post I'm sure you would consider bullshit, but instead of discouraging the person from posting and doing research and deleting their post, I responded with a reason for why it is not a strong connection. Soon it will be filed away as a "dead lead". (sorry OP if you're ready this, just using you as an example). The exception to this rule is obviously if someone posts CP or anything illegal - in these circumstances posts will be deleted immediately and user will be permanently banned.

edit to avoid confusion since @pizzagateDOTcom misunderstood what I wrote: When I said that, I mean that I am looking to see how the community wants to handle it (when users post weak leads and misinformation). Not that it was a test post done by me. That is someone who was obviously posting and trying to promote his site at the same time.

I agree with your mission. What's the point of deleting posts? Let the community decide what is worthy lead or what's is disinfo. VOAT had been almost choked out of existence. Thanks for your hard work I've signed up and look forward to having a competing platform.
