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!

How about #10?
Enforce the rules on the books logically and consistently across the sub? Personally, I'd like to see an end to the hit and run link posts with no written narrative. Somehow these manage to stay up...

THIS! So fucking much of this it's not funny! I asked this before a long time ago and admit, it's a bit draconian, but, thoughts on disabling the "Share a link" button(if possible)?
Reason:
Often see directly linked(no main body for submission) articles with ambiguous titles, I've adopted the habit of clicking "x comments" to see the comments instead - on the hopes that the poster has provided a bit of an explanation as to why they're sharing the link, or, failing that, to see if @derram has archived it :P
Why does it matter? Because I like to see that the person sharing the article, has actually read it and they found something they think we all need to look at - would it not behoove any genuine contributor here, to really 'sell the pitch' when it comes to something that warrants pizzagate exposure? It makes sense that if you are invested in what you're sharing, that you would want to tell us about it yourself; a bit of effort can go a long way.
Another point, although a personal peeve also, is that I really much prefer being able to stay right here on voat to read about this that and the other, where possible and reasonable - which is to say that, I really don't like when there's no explanation as to why I should be interested in the linked article/whatever, when even a few minutes spent parsing the article into a discussion post, would make all the difference.
This is why I've also adopted the habit of doing exactly that; parse the article contents or the most relevant parts, along with my thoughts/reasoning for sharing - there's some exceptions, but, I try to consider anyone else who might be sick of the "hit and run link posts", like me.

Thought about this, and think it's actually a good idea. Might also prevent people from involuntarily click on cp, when linked in headline (there was a submission like this a couple of days ago.)
Also, shills would need to put in a bit more effort. ;-)

Shills can't/won't take the time to post.
