I don't see a direct relevance to pizzagate. I scanned through it, and even tried to go through a second time to find the direct link. The equivalent of "something fucky" doesn't establish a direct relevance to pizzagate as defined in the sidebar.
In this case, you've got a member of the elite -- the mayor of Seattle -- having to resign over multiple underage sexual abuse allegations which were covered up by the justice system at the time -- who pushes back against the Progressive trashing of the city via homeless camps and then suddenly his past becomes relevant and he's out (i.e. as if PG blackmail engaged). I don't know how you could have a better example of directly related to PG! I see three direct connections, any ONE of which makes it legit:
The mayor of a major city is resigning for sexually abusing kids
The kids complained at the time, but the justice system covered it up
Suddenly, that "justice" system has revoked the mayor's Get Out of Jail Free pass for some reason -- potentially a prime example of the major theory of Pizzagate: that pedos are put in positions of power so they can be blackmailed
The OP documented everything he could find related to this situation and presented it to voaters with a "something stinks, but I don't know what" headline, and it gets deleted because he couldn't put all the pieces together himself or figure out how Voat formatting works. Tons of work down the toilet, from his point of view (most users don't realize how easy it is to repost things from Removed Submissions, or where to find it).
Plus, it really feeds the shill narrative that we're just a honeypot here.
It would be one thing if it had a few legit points and then a bunch of swiss-cheese argumentation pushing some retarded narrative with unrelated bits of unsourced information. We get tons of those disinfo posts. But this seemed to me like a serious attempt to round up all the available information on a PG related topic to try to get to the bottom of it with many eyeballs. Isn't that the whole point of this subverse?
It's a nice thought that people should post their works-in-progress on pgwhatever for collaboration, and then post a polished piece on the main board after the work has been done, but that's not how things actually function. No one subscribes to that sub so people don't see what's posted there unless they are pinged in specifically by the OP. Posts don't get more than a few eyeballs in that sub.
Expecting "works in progress" to be posted there first just kills the momentum -- especially when Voat is supposed to be an uncensored venue. It's just not intuitive for people. Instead of expecting v/pizzagate to be the internet's glossy, four-color, hardbound official Pizzagate encyclopedia, we would really be better off with a special, curated, separate sub for best-of-the-best PG research, and let the hashing out happen on the main sub with all the subscribers who want to get involved, IMHO.
I was unfortunately absent for many days recently, and never heard (or maybe i did and it just didn't register) what happened to the most recent sticky. Did we decide that this subverse needed an overhaul?
No decision has been made. The sticky had been up for a week and a user complained in a post that the normal sticky should be put back up, and I agreed so I put it back up.

And in rule 1 for the entire post:
Here's where I am currently, @kevdude @VictorSteinerDavion @Vindicator @Millennial_Falcon -

Did I miss something?
