@Tyranny-News-Network, I hate to pee on the trouble you went to write this post, but as currently written, it is an unsourced discussion post that belongs in v/pizzagatewhatever. I have to remove it per Rule 4 of the submission guidelines in the sidebar. Posts for v/pizzagate (a research-publishing sub) need to clearly state a hypothesis and why it's important to Pizzagate. Then each of your claims needs to be supported by a link to some kind of supporting evidence. You may want to consider linking to something that explains why having a framework is necessary -- mission planning manual from the military, or some software architect's white paper on it, or whatever.
No problem at all. I'm actually going to reframe the content and post to our blog. Then I can keep it tighter by linking to it here at Voat. I'll be sure to source as well.
Sounds good. It's a weird product of the submission guidelines (which we had to make in order to have an objective framework for removing shitposts and disinfo without violating Voat's rabid commitment to anti-censorship) that you can't make a philosophical, unsourced discussion post on v/pizzagate (Rule 4), but if you make the exact same post on another platform and link to it, you're good, so long as there is stuff included that satisfies Rules 1 and 2. It's a workaround I have recommended to people more than once! Moderators aren't allowed to "curate content" by judging the quality of supporting links, so long as they support the claims made in the post.
