cantsleepawink, I just saw this great post of yours thanks to derram, and want to say that your ability and will to leverage the system are impressive. I agree 1000% with the approach you are taking and will support in any way I can. I admire the creative ways you've come up with to communicate within the Voat Labyrinth. :-) It pains me that moderators may be hindering efforts; that is not our intent at all.

One of the problems we have had with moderating v/pizzagate is that most of the really sharp folks who are the most knowledgeable and the most keen investigators whom we have invited to mod, turn us down. Many others have responded to removals in ways that makes it impossible to tell who can be trusted to invite to mod, especially after the numbcuck fiasco. Several of us modding now have been doing so daily for months, and like cops and EMTs, we don't primarily spend time with the responsible, hardworking, successful members of the community. Our majority exposure is to noobs, shills, trolls and oppositional users who can't be bothered with the submission guidelines. It can be VERY hard to sort out who we are dealing with, all we basically have is the submission guidelines and how folks respond to being asked to uphold them. The unfortunate byproduct is mods who aren't in tune with all the research, the majority of whose interactions are with toxic users, trying to vet scores of posts daily, often amongst a barrage of deliberate forum-sliding shitposts, which lead to dozens of modmail reports and inbox pings that the board is going to shit and we aren't doing our jobs. Serious users posting lesser-known developments of ongoing research who don't spell out the connection to PG are not necessarily going to be distinguishable to mods. And so here we are.

Anyway, all that said, I am very interested in making sure there is a home for the research of citizen investigators, in spreading our most powerful evidence beyond Voat, and helping people collaborate. It's why I said yes to the invitation to mod and why I come back night after night to man the barricades. Please let me know if there is something I can do to improve things or help.

Can I ask if you got notifications in comment mention and submission mentions of the above thread? It was suggested only the first five in a list got the information. @derram @Disgusted-Lurker @twistedmac11 @50hurtz @remedy4reality @TabiCatTwo Please just say yes if you got it. Thanks for humoring my curiosity.

I'm not very tech saavy and a lot of this went over my head (lol), but I would love to help in any way that I can. I have been working on compiling and archiving all Pizzagate links I can find (see my post here https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1653281 although I have more than double now what I had then, just have not posted it yet), so if that could be of any use as well, please let me know.

Yes. Yes yes yes. 100%. I'm in, let me know how I can help. I'm working on a massive collection of Pizzagate links (I posted a "this is what I have so far" text file: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1653281 and I have more than double now what I had then, just haven't posted yet) that may be of assistance as well.

Love the rage. Sad it is needed. You have some lovely turns of phrase.

I would include @derram (@Derram) in your list of poss contributors. He's been diligently archiving the shit out of stuff and believe is making a database.

I'm a strategic thinker @UmmWTF . Now that you've indicated your open source credentials, let me say again, glad to have you onboard. I can advise on how to run rings around trending algorithms. Now, let's do this.

@UmmWTF https://voat.co/v/pizzagatewhatever/ Mods are virtually hands off on this thread.

I wouldn't have the remotest idea what to do or how to use this open source resource. It sounds like you do, so please do it.

By the way, some entity going (even physically) dark with site-wide archives (as many vetted sources as possible so important parts of Reddit, most of Voat, 4chan, 8ch, steemit, etc.) until desperately needed or until this is as over as it can get would be an invaluable asset.

Maybe there's been other parties to suggest and follow through with this, but hell, the more the merrier.

I so agree with everything you have said. We need to band together as one! I am onboard.

Is there a process by which the considered candidates will be vetted?

I'm also concerned about insiders. Voat's gotten a bit of attention lately.

PM me.

@cantsleepawink All your VOAT links have semi-colons which make the links not work. If you would like to check them out and edit the ;s out the links will work.

@UmmWTF

Please add link for "we need to mainstream pizzagate now" if you have it.

Stand your system by, just in case the pizzagate caravan has to move on from voat. There has been some negative posting about Peter(?) Thiel, who I gather owns voat and can presumably identify a poster's computer ip number and location - can they (you) do this to a street number or just a city?

If we all moved to your platform, then you could do this too. You sound like a white hat, but white hats [Syria] are not necessarily the good guys. The whole "fake news" syndrome. Nothing is what it seems any more - perhaps never was!

I don't fancy being targeted for a FEMA camp or worse.

You sound like a good guy, but your equipment sounds like something the alphabet agencies would have - or would love to have if they don't already.

"I could support all of this and wrote aboutit all two weeks ago," Do you have a link to that post, perchance?

Can your system just crawl the pizzagate board and analyse the information here and links to off-board web pages that are cited in threads?

Only today, I was contemplating how an investment bank full of employees, all reading company reports, looking at screens, watercoolering etc. crunches and communicates all that information into a "best investment."

Apparently there are computers that "read" the news wires, company reports, watch all trades made on all the exchanges - real time - and instantly trade. Occasionally they cause a market crash in a sort of feedback loop.

If you can do it, just do! Post your results. Pick up the ball and run with it. We're all cheering you on - at least most of us!

Added. Interesting. Several people have said that they posted similar comments. This post too was originally deleted but because I've added pizzagate suvbverse links within my post, I was able to get round the meta post Rule. I've also posted to pizzagatewhatever, though it has far lower subscription. Anyway, it's obvious that it's time for us to move into another phase. Many people feel the way you do. I agree that compartmentalization is what we want to avoid and that is why I came up with the posting conventions of tagging and a subscription list at the bottom. This allows the post to be available to the entire subverse while targeting interested parties at the same time. I agree that we need a plethora of different skills and already I'm getting input from people across the board in terms of skill range.

I just read your WE NEED TO MAINSTREAM PIZZAGATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE post and I agree with everything you wrote. Even though I'm subscribed to that subverse I didn't see it. Even though I'm on voat for far too many hours every day, I missed it. And today, I decided to find a solution to make your type of posts more efficient. I can't continue to spend the hours on here that I have so, I now want to work smart. Your post highlights the fcat that we need rebranding in a sense..and I agree that's why I wrote about a Taskforce. Seeing it as a node within the pizzagate discourse. I am sure we have many talented desktop designers and other more media oriented people here for public shoots. Hell, I even love to do that stuff myself. But my priority is to help to develop a more cohesive horizontal structure within this crowdsourced environment. Much more to come. We need people like you. As a diverse group we can develop a multi-pronged approach. Many strategies...many levels...more to come. In the meantime, use the subscription list I've started.

I like this, get pro-active. Although you might have to get permission from the Voat owners to use their platform and whatnot, for liability reasons.

Think this is great idea and I'd like to be included please

Don't forget there are probably lots of moles here. Probably will even reply to my comment with a stupid quip

Just posted this proposition earlier was deleted. Some of us also have L. E. Histories & training. Also Degrees such as Masters & PHd in Pyschology. As well as just Patriots, Christians & good moral people.

I would love to be added..happy to give credentials in PM..
