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!

you mods are doing a great and often thankless job
My 2cents is the focus. Its been nearly 18 months since Podesta's emails dropped, and in terms of the 'Investigation' - well, its been a long time since we've been at the point where its conclusive that there is a systemic, endemic issue long overdue for justice
I personally see this forum, therefore, as only partially an ongoing Investigation, and more saliently as a REPOSITORY for pizzagate - and that INCLUDES the Fake News about Pizzagate
What i mean is, if i see something pizzagate related on twitter with 700 retweets, I'm gonna put it up here for discussion - regarless of whether its fake news or not. And i dont want someone up my ass for 'peddaling' fake news when what I'm doing is REPORTING on salient info doing the rounds, whether its fake or not
if there is fake news going around out there, we should be the best at detecting it and diffusing it, right? how do we do that effectively if we dont bring fake news in here, put it on the table for dissection - coz often there's a kernel of truth in the entrails of a dissected fake news rat, right?

I don't think "peddling fake news" is one of the rules. Was something removed for that?
Mods should be removing poorly formatted and explained posts - and spam.

Guess we need a new rule warning people that this is also a beauty contest. "if your post is ugly it will be deleted."

Pretend you want to fuck with the mods and users of this place, and take your position to its logical conclusion.

The reason people don't take you seriously is because it takes a serious case of narcissistic vanity to be as wrong as you are, as often as you are, so blatantly, and then just blow through it with the amount of projection you use. You really do have a mental illness and its serious. Not even kidding a little bit. I am not surprised that a narcissistic sociopath such as yourself jumped on the chance to grab the v/pizzagate sub name because it gives you a group of people to feed on. It is an especially sad state of affairs because this sub "tries" to specialize on helping desperate children but instead is serves as a siphon point for your power trip needs. Its weird to watch people like you feed on things like that because it seems like it would be a miserable life but for you it is enjoyable for some sad reason. You will suck the last drop of blood from this place like you are doing, blame it on everybody else, forever or until you somehow lose access to the internet because you need this fix. We don't expect you do shit except what you have proven over the last year that you will continue to do.
