However (and take this as constructive criticism MF) he does at times seem to exceed his mandate a bit where Rule 1 is concerned.

Well, it would certainly deepen my understanding of Rule 1 if anyone could explain why this post was deleted per Rule 1:

Thanks.

That was deleted because it was a bot reposting a thread that doesn't meet the submission rules. Post didn't even have content. Just a title.

It wasn't an empty submission.

When you click on the headline, the full thread of the original post shows.

This is how it always works when the searchvoat.bot does a "A year ago" post.

It was the anniversary post of pizzagate moving from Reddit to Voat.

There was no reason to delete it. You should have made a sticky instead to remember the beginning of the pizzagate investigation on Voat.

Look at @Vindicator 's comments. Even he couldn`t understand why you deleted it.

It was deleted per Rule 1. Rule 1 says posts must refer to pizzagate. It did.

There were no submission rules when that post was made, so unsurprisingly it doesn't adhere to them. However, @Millennial_Falcon should have cited Rule 4 for removing that because it's not a research post, it's a housekeeping post.

This brings up a great question, though, which perhaps our O's (@Crensch @VictorSteinerDavion) and rule advisor @kevdude would like to chime in on:

If a new post meets Rules 1, 2 and 3 like this Searchvote historical repost, but the original post linked doesn't because it predates the ruleset, do we delete? And if no, what's to keep forum sliders from digging up the shitposts of yore (that led to the ruleset in the first place) and reposting with a title that mentions pizzagate and a link to the original?

C'mon, @Vindicator...

Look at your own comment cited below. There is nothing more to say.

😕 TFW @Millennial_Falcon deletes the Voat history bot anniversary reminder of the first major v/pizzagate post for having no direct relevance to Pizzagate.
