I have to remove this per Rule 2. All posts require at least one relevant weblink. As for the content of your post, as others in the thread have noted, it could be a hot tip that can't be found anywhere else, but it could also be an attack on an innocent person designed to undermine this board's credibility (similar to the Welch's false-flag assault at Comet Pizza). Any ideas on how to deal with this, fellow mods/advisors? @Vindicator @Crensch @ kevdude @Honeybee_

You've got an extra space in @kevdude, MF.

Honestly, I am not clear on what the policy is on this. I'm glad you were able to remove it for a rule violation. I'm also glad folks saw it and can research. I don't think anyone wants to harm an innocent bystander someone tried to manipulate us into investigating. But we definitely need to be able to follow up on legit tips.

I do know that Putt removed a bunch of doxxed pedo posts that one of our investigators put up a few months ago. But the policy as I've heard it from kev is to leave it up if it is not a Voat user and no rules were broken. We don't have submission rule against doxing. On the other hand, the Voat User Agreement says "keep personal info off of Voat." This is a very gray area.
