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!

Why talk about it? Just get rid of Falcon. I want him replaced. Problem solved. You really expect people to vote in public on this comfortably? That is why voting systems are private. So that people cannot see who they vote for. This is not a legitimate voting session. This is more like extortion because people will not speak their mind publicly on this.

I'll add your vote to the submission.
Why would voting here make anyone uncomfortable? Does any mod target users for retribution?
rarepeeks ago
The more I think about it, this is downright shameful of you. No wonder shit is so fucked up here.
rarepeeks ago
How many people did you expect to line up and have their name put on this public list? This is a damn joke.
Crensch ago
They can have their name attached to PG, just not a submission where the mods are asking the opinions of the users. Got it.
rarepeeks ago
What is wrong with posing it as a question and letting people vote on it? Most votes wins.
Crensch ago
Oh? And how long will the VPN/TOR sock-puppet votes be counted before putt can ban the offending "users"?
You force COMMENTS so the users can have their account history available to look at - like the guy that has zero submissions and 3 comments in the last 29 days. If I were a user of this sub I wouldn't want that vote to count, would you?
I'm just a mod, so I put the vote in the submission.
Go ahead, check those accounts out; see if you'd put any money on some of them being sock puppet accounts.

@PuttItOut (site admin) is going to implement a voting system, if you feel like this sub would qualify then speak up here: https://voat.co/v/voatdev/2362183

Self explanatory. Voting systems are anonymous for privacy reasons. People do not like for everybody to see who they vote for for various reasons and of course retribution is a primary reason. This is fundamental. Needs no explanation.
Yes. Nuff said. Not saying any more about it. If I felt comfortable about doing it I would not have brought it up.
