I know it's not been the whole 6 months we discussed last time, but it is indeed time to talk about the RULES.
As you all know, we have a place for meta talk about the rules and the mods, /v/pizzagatemods. It's not overly public, and it's not the most elegant solution to cluttering the front page here, but that's what we have.
This sticky is here because the usual monthly concern-trolling, and @Millenium_Falcon attacking by @ESOTERICshade gathered enough notice to warrant one.
This was the deleted post. This is the post I made with my findings on the issue.
As always, mods serve at the pleasure of the users of the subverse. Please make your voices heard.
This sticky is both a polling and a discussion. Discuss whatever, wherever, but the polling will function like this:
POLLING
On a base-level comment, type any of these numbers you agree with, in any order.
1 - Rules are fine, don't change them
2 - Mods are doing a good job, don't remove them
3 - Mods aren't doing enough, and need to recruit more mods, and remove more submissions.
4 - Mods are not doing a good job, we need to talk about removing them
5 - Rules are not fine, we need to change them
6 - Mods need to lighten up and let more things slide, let's talk about that.
7 - Try no rules and no moderation for a couple of weeks
8 - No rules and no moderation in perpetuity.
Millennial_Falcon
Millennial_Falcon seems to be a popular whipping boy here. Those that show up in /v/pizzagatemods with complaints tend to target him almost exclusively. The people attacking him seem to think they're not alone, but fail to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.
Keep in mind, your accusations and support for them will not just be taken at face value, like every accuser so far seems to have expected. They will be researched thoroughly, and if there is merit to them, something WILL be done. Please feel free to be the first to provide evidence of wrongdoing on his part.
And by all means, comment on any other mod you have an issue with. Hell, if you guys want ME gone, I'll hand over the reigns to whomever you think is worthy.
Poll will end on the 18th.
Oh,
9 - Stop asking us this crap for 6 months FOR REAL this time!

2 & 6
I've taken different stances on this in the past, but overall I feel like the mods are doing a decent job. The real issue IMO, is that voat isn't the right platform for pg research.
There are users who wish to read and keep current with new leads and updates, and there are users who wish to contribute and publish their own findings. Researchers don't always immediately know if a potential lead is worth looking into, if it is ultimately pg related, if it is irrelevant/unimportant; and except for the poster, nobody knows if a thread is misinformation or meant to be a distraction.
Voat serves a good purpose and has allowed us all the get this far and uncover as much as we have, but in the end it falls short of being what we need to collaborate and investigate potential leads.

I'll add your votes to the OP.
I agree with your words. Voat was never Ideal, it was simply the best of the available options.
I just wrote this, and while you may not agree with the subject-matter of my example, the methodology seems sound. Are there any flaws to people adopting that here?

Hay!
"12" was a vote for 1 & 2
That's why I laughed at the opportunity to say 12 xD
