Ah, ok. I voice the same 'concern' as @Vindicator - see below - but I am a concern troll. Great.

My original comment, think-, mainly referred to the shitstorm that erupts whenever @Millennial_Falcon shows even the merest sign of fallibility. As I already said, MF did have grounds to remove it, though he didn't cite the correct rule. You are projecting your own interpretation onto my words.

I wasn't aware that your comment referred to the context of 'the shitstorm that erupts...'

I read the submission at the time, then it was suddenly taken down and I looked at your discussion with MF in order to find out why it was deleted. I had no idea there was a wider context.

Anyway, thanks for clarifying.

Fair enough. In my opinion, this sub would work a lot better if we had more people actively modding than MF and I, and we split the time responsibility up to limit the burden (and fuck up potential) of post removal and spread it around. As it stands now, neither MF or I ever have a day off. That tends to lead to snafus and suboptimal decisions.

Agree. Putting the burden on more shoulders would be a lot better imo.

I know how much time and effort you dedicate to this place, @Vindicator, and I know this takes time away from being with your family. We are all really grateful for this.

This sub really means a lot to me. I was a lurker nearly from the beginning, and signed up three months ago.

I have seen many dedicated researchers leave, because they were frustrated that good posts were deleted by MF. They regarded it as censorship (on Voat, of all places!). This also has invoked a slight feeling of paranoia that Voat, after all, could be compromised.

I am very grateful for @kevdude 's input (well, apart from calling me a 'concern troll', of course).

I can only hope @Millienial_Falcon will take all of this to this heart. I don't want to see more good people leaving.

Have a Happy New Year, @Vindicator, may it be a good and successful one for all pizzagaters! :-)
