CP in PG. It's almost like this was predicted...

oftotc: No CP or links to CP were posted here on Voat. Are you trying to prevent people from reporting child trafficking websites?

Howdy V. I hit the thread after others had posted information about what they discovered on the other end of that click. I think that one of the most important tasks that the online community has to perform is providing any information that can be used to destroy any form of human trafficking to the proper authorities for action. However, pizzagate has a specific focus that keeps getting redirected by posts of this nature, regardless of whether there is actual CP involved in the post.

It appears that I am the anomaly here to think that it is an orchestrated sliding effort on the part of folk what don't want us looking too hard in their direction. The other end of that link could be sniffing IP info to get a grasp of who's investigating PG on voat. It could be a honeypot to trap unwary investigators and get them in trouble with law enforcement. There are a hundred things wrong with allowing posts of this nature onto voat at all, much-less PG. But out of respect for the mod team and supposed consensus among the user community, you'll notice I kept my criticisms fairly low-key.

BTW, love OP's accusation against Crensch. Kinda shows his colors, doncha think?

@oftotc, I agree with most of what you've said here. I wholeheartedly support warning users about the risks. Howevr, Voat only allows us to remove actual illegal content. Plus, there are researchers here who are very active in documenting and reporting this stuff. I doubt changing our subverse submission rules to ban investigation into pedos would fly. By demanding mods take a post down -- especially new mods who are frazzled by this type of post -- when it isn't in violation of the rules, you magnify the disruption, not help minimize it.

Yes, I addressed that here.
