Update on the State of Voat from PuttItOut (please donate to Voat)

Hi all! We suggest several clarifications, amendments and changes to the submission rules. These changes would include:

  • A: Language from the community-developed definition of Pizzagate will be included directly in the wording of Rule 1.

  • B: A link with examples of posts that do or do not pass Rule 1 is already available.

  • C: Rule 2 will include what was formerly a part of Rule 4 (all posts need at least one link)

  • D: We suggest disabling of "share a link" posts (you would still be able to post a link as a discussion post). The reason for suggesting to delete this option is to encourage good descriptions (i.e. attention to Rule 3), which often are not possible with the character limit for titles. (We asked our developer to re-install the 'share a link' buttons until the community has decided)

  • E: Clarification of Rule 3 to state that a good title must establish direct relevance to Pizzagate.

  • F: Amendment of Rule 3 to require descriptions of unembedded links in posts. (It is much easier for users to make sense of a post if you tell us the significance of your links.)

  • G: Rule 4 will be much more clear. (It isn't really a rule, so much as it is directing where to post certain posts that don't pass Rule 1). It will also specify that memes and sourced activism/publicity posts are now allowed.

  • H: Rule 5 (no standalone memes) will be axed, and rule 6 (NSFW posts must be labeled) will take its place. Standalone memes will be allowed, so long as they support the investigation.

For Submitters Submission Rules
Below are the Submission Requirements. Please review before you submit content. Submissions not meeting these requirements will be removed. See also "subverse best practices"
1 ALL submissions should be directly related to Pizzagate, and this is how we define Pizzagate. It is the responsibility of the poster to demonstrate relevance. In most cases this will require a Discussion post where you provide a brief explanation of how your content relates to the investigation. Sometimes there will be content (like an article on Pizzagate) where a link post with an accurate, descriptive title will be enough to satisfy this requirement. 1: Relevance: Posts must be directly relevant to investigation of Pizzagate: the sexual/physical abuse and/or murder of children by elites, child trafficking organized by elites, and/or cover-up of these activities and/or the protection/assistance provided to the people who engage in said activities. See definition of Pizzagate and examples of relevant posts.
2 EVERY claim that is made as part of your post needs to be sourced. If you are asking a question, give a brief summary of what led to your question, and provide sources for those elements. If you are giving an explanation of how your content relates to Pizzagate (satisfying Rule 1), and you need to connect a few dots to do so, please provide sources for your "dots". If you wish to ask general questions about Pizzagate, please do so here. 2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.
3 LINK posts (VIDEO, IMAGE, ARTICLE, etc.) all need to include an accurate description of the actual content. If you can't provide an accurate summary in the title of a Link post then you must submit it as a Discussion post where you provide the link with a brief description of the content. 3: Clarity: All titles must adequately describe post content and must establish direct relevance to Pizzagate. EACH link in your post must include a description of content and how the link relates to the post (except when markup is used to embed links in the specific text they support). To help ensure adequate descriptions, "share a link" posts are not allowed.
4 META submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. To avoid diluting the front page, please make those sorts of submissions here. Please bring any meta concerns you have here (this is also where the mods will discuss moderating the sub, so you are welcome to participate in those conversations as well). 4: Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. Sourced activism / publicity posts and memes are allowed. Posts about the subverse itself go to /v/pizzagatemods.
5 Standalone MEMES will be removed. Please post standalone memes here. If you feel that a given meme can be used to raise awareness, please link it as part of a Discussion post where you source the elements that it is related to and discuss the best ways to use it. If you want to discuss the accuracy of a meme, again, link it in a Discussion post that sources the relevant elements from the investigation. (N.A.)
6 NSFW submissions (gore, nudity, etc.) must be labeled as such. This is not an adult subverse. 5: You must label NSFW posts (“Not safe for work”; for example gore, nudity etc.) as such when submitting.
Adspam, illegal content, and personal info about Voat subscribers will be removed, and the offender will be banned. Adspam, illegal content, and personal info about Voat subscribers will be removed, and the offender will be banned.

I liked when we found shit about Alefantis and his connections w/ Rothschilds and the podestas and royal elites. These researchers had links and sources for everything. Most of them were banned or randomly deleted their accounts and bots and ctr now voat brigade the shit out of these posts.
