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!

I know 🙄 I don’t even know what your role is

They only use the kevdude account for mod removals, if you're genuinely curious.

Thank you. So what made him have that power? Why does he a.ways come around during complaints? On every sub?
Womb_Raider ago
I don't know, exactly. It happened gradually I guess, starting with @she if you were here for all that nonsense. Basically a big controversy with a bad mad, and he helped farm public outcry until she was removed.
Since then, he used his gain in influence from that event to dethrone other mods, except many of those instances the mod in question didn't do anything wrong and instead punished one of his SBBH gang for somehow bullying or manipulating a sub's content. They've evolved into what I feel is a pretty nasty force... while claiming to be good guys looking out for us. It's just a shame to see the way voat has gone.

Wow you’ve been here a long time. I didn’t know of @she. I was just curious. So now ai know what an O and an M is. Do you know what a D and a J means? In the moderator box?
Womb_Raider ago
J stands for Janitor. They can remove comments and maybe posts, I don't think they can alter anything else about the sub.
D is Designer. I don't know what it does, probably CSS-related stuff.
This sub is a joke, because kingkongwaswrong invited Crensch and heygeorge to mod, and Crensch invited kevdude. This means kingkongwaswrong was friends with Crensch (SBBH) before pizzagate even began. This sub has been a joke and was controlled from the beginning.
It's sad what happens to this website, when long ago it had immense potential to bring change to not only the United States but more likely the whole of Europe also.
srayzie ago
Well hopefully it will get better. There are some good mods now!
Womb_Raider ago
All the mods were invited by kevdude/Crensch or by somebody who kevdude/Crensch invited, and seeing as kevdude/Crensch both engage in nasty activity (removing mods from subs with no decent reason, telling voaters to avoid chat platforms with lies, etc)...
I think you should take a hard look at kevdude and Crensch in the future (and me, also! Don't trust anyone and you'll probably do well.)
srayzie ago
And you too lol. Ok thank you
