Greetings Pizzagoats!
As you may or may not have noticed, we are down to just a couple of active mods here. We have invited many well-known community members to join the mod team in recent weeks but have consistently been turned down. We could use a few more mods to help remove off-topic, PGisStupid, and other non-research posts and help users navigate the submission rules.
Please suggest users you think would be a good addition to the mod team. We specifically look for:
- A robust comment history that demonstrates...
- Logic and critical thinking
- Open-mindedness
- Commitment to free speech/anti-censorship and willing to adhere to the Moderation Rules
- An understanding of the subverse submission rules and willingness to follow them
- Emotional poise/thick skin
There is no specific time commitment; we clean up the board as we can. However, the willingness and ability to take responsibility for a certain window of time or day of the week to give other mods a break would be a big plus.
Please nominate and/or upvoat anyone you feel would make a good mod in Comments below, with a brief explanation of why.
Thank you

I want to thank the MODS one and all, past and present, for making this discussion possible.
The abused have learned to hide everywhere in plain sight. It's difficult to speak even anonymously. It's something you never get over, self doubt and depression are the natural reactions unfortunately. Abusers on the other hand, certainly verbal abusers here on pizzagate, post constantly like machine guns. We need you MODS. Your the Lions at the Gate making this a safer space, keeping it as civil as possible, where everyone yells at once.
Platoons in hostile territory, always have a point man. It's the most dangerous position, it rotates among the most able bodied and mentally capable within the group. We need you, you with your thick skin and fortitude. Mods are necessary. If you don't have a thick skin, please fake it til you make it. Do it for the children.
If we are correct, that organized sexual abuse of infants and children is a world wide reality, then your time spent doing dangerous duty without any reward or acclaim, will not go unnoticed. It will be noted, your fearlessness and sense of duty, on a plane that matters more than this one. We older people can feel that. You don't need youth, beauty, or a strong back for this, just a strong mind. Again Thank You in advance for stepping up, taking a turn. You can do it!

The mods are compromised completely. They decided to go against Voat's well thought out voting system (for which moderation is not really needed unless the content-to-be-removed is illegal). From the beginning, I think that this forum was a "catch all" for the new people coming from reddit. They've controlled the flow of information very effectively, mitigating any real increase in publicity and membership, or expansion from the main findings of r/pizzagate.

I don't see compromised mods, just folk doing important, thankless, work with harsh criticism par for the course.
Not even saying "The sun always rises in the east." is accurate most days. It varies from NE to SE daily, more towards the poles and less at the equator. It rises in the E about twice a year. Reality has shades of grey. We all want it to be simple, but it isn't. Grabbing at absolutes is a waste of your minds valuable attention. Attention to reality is powerful. Use it carefully, hone your skill.
Look, wake up to the new day and notice, you will never know it all. And that is a beautiful thing.
