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!

/v/pizzagate has become diluted by mindless bullshit, loose connections, anti-Jew circlejerks, and is hard to take seriously. The mods need to start moving a good percentage of not good quality posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever.
The Achilles' Heel of the sub and Voat overall is that they're too afraid to actually moderate in fear of being accused of censorship. But moving shitty threads to a different but related sub isn't really censorship, the message is still there for the world to find and the /v/pizzagatewhatever link is right there in the sidebar. If the author feels that they deserve to be in /v/pizzagate then they can improve their post and resubmit until it meets quality standards.
That way, when a person comes here with an actually good thread that goes deep and explores something important, the visibility and stickability (how long it stays near the top) will be at its maximum. Thus, when newcomers come here to figure out "What's Pizzagate all about" they'll be bombarded with high quality evidence and discussion rather than weak threads they can easily shrug off as just random noise.
