Last night, a user posted a highly-upvoted post on /v/pizzagate attacking David Seaman. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1650713
Seaman posted this response about two hours ago: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1651763
I removed it because there was no verification it was him (so the post violated rule 4). I asked him to repost with some kind of verification it's him. He reposted, but it looked like the same post with no verification (he mentioned a tweet at the beginning this time, but no link, so in my impatience, I didn't notice the mention). So I removed and again asked for verification.
Seaman then tweeted this: https://twitter.com/d_seaman/status/832293244532830208
He included an image of a Voat message (which seems to have never been sent, because presumably he was implying he sent this message to me, since I was the one who removed his post, yet I never received such a message). The only way I was alerted to his tweets about the Voat post was through another Voat user's comment.
In the "message" he imaged in this tweet, he complains that I'm asking for "personally identifying info." LOL. You're a public figure; all we needed was typical AMA-type verification (a photo of yourself holding something with today's date, "Voat", etc). Anyway, the tweet was sufficient verification, so I pinged him and told him he can repost and I won't delete. Yet he still has not reposted (?). Is he trying to set us up as looking unfair to him?
He also complained about us allowing the post that had attacked him. That post satisfied our posting rules. This community is anti-censorship. Again, feel free to repost your post with the same account (@David_Seaman). Please link one of your tweets about the post in the post itself, so other mods will not mistakenly remove it.

David is an unhinged, useful idiot (As you can see from the "hit piece" voat post on him from yesterday.)
David did not post proof on the post. In the first post, he may have tweeted about it, but he never included it in the post. You asked him to provide proof next time, and deleted his post. Fair. Its the rules.
What sucks is that David will use this to further his crying agenda. He knows that claiming "censorship" or crying wolf about getting killed soon gets more buzz than just posting research with facts to educate his folllowers.
He made the video to smear voat, when in reality, you were doing your job and following the rules. David didn't link his tweet in either of the posts.
FOR THOSE WHO SAY THE MOD SHOULD HAVE CHECKED HIS TWTTR HIMSELF: wrong. David needs to link verification so casual readers know it is him too! It's not just so the mods know, its so the readers know its him too. Not everyone follows david, or knows his twitter. Verification links is crucial and a part of the rules.
David, quit your fuckin bitching. Quit crying wolf, you arent gonna get killed from podesta's goons when all you do is pout.
If you would educate your followers with facts, instead of sensational tweets, you would do better for the movement.
