Welcome to Voat. I gaurantee it's not like any place you've been before. This is the wild west of free speech, and many folks here completely despise Reddit because of it's censorship. There is a grand tradition of offensive speech here, and Voat goats have been known to deliberately troll noobs to cull the weak and purge those who want it "toned down" to protect people's feelings. You can find out more about that by perusing the comments in threads at v/MuseumOfVoat.

Two important things about Voat free speech:

• Comments are sacred. You can say anything you want, so long as it isn't actually illegal speech in the USA, copypasta spam, adspam, or doxing of another Voat user.
• Submissions are subject to each subverse's submission rules, found in the sidebar, which is viewable on mobile if you choose "view desktop site" in your mobile browser. As the Voat User Agreement FAQ states:

Can I submit links to any subverse I want?

Each subverse has its own rules which are usually stated in the respective subverse's sidebar. If you ignore said rules, your account may be banned from submitting further content to the subverse or in some cases, globally.

v/Pizzagate is a research only subverse that has more stringent rules than most Voat subs

We don't allow "Share a Link" direct link posts, for example. You have to use the "Discuss" button and paste the link in along with the other information our submission rules require. You can read about why, here. We also do not allow unsourced "meta" discussion threads about what you think or feel about a topic (though that is welcome in Comments of any research post).

As one of the most shilled spots on the Internet, we are constantly fighting forum-sliding shitposts meant to confuse and distract and muddy the waters. Our community over the past almost two years of trial and error, has repeatedly voted to restrict submissions such that they:

1.) Clearly state a thesis that directly connects to the sexual abuse of kids by the global elite and

2.) Provide supporting links for every major claim.

The sidebar is LOADED with great info.

I and the other mods, @think- @Ben_Matlock and @EricKaliberhall, are ready and willing to help you figure out how to post within the submission rules, and we have a 24 Hour Grace flair we give most rule-breaking posts so the community can help you edit to meet the requirements as well. We do occasionally ban accounts that abuse the 24 Hour Grace flair. We LOVE crowdsourced collaboration strengthening posts with related links and leads.

In the event we do remove a thread, it can always be found in Removed Submissions, which is linked at the very bottom of the sidebar (Voat mods and subverse owners have no ability to permanently remove posts). If it is a post with complex formatting, we try to remember to PM the submitter a copy of the source markdown text in case you want to submit it to our anything-goes sister subverse, v/pizzagatewhatever.

We welcome Q-related threads that are plausibly connected to child sex trafficking by the elite, including Satanism, child sacrifice, Spirit Cooking and anything else covered under the definition of Pizzagate found in our sidebar. It's up to you to explain the connection and fully explain the Q references, providing all necessary links for users to vet claims. Don't assume everyone here is up to speed with Q (though many of us are).

If you would like to keep an eye on all new submissions to v/GreatAwakening, v/CBTS and v/pizzagate it's very easy to by adding them to your front page "Set" (See "SETS" under your user profile). Just remember these subverses each have different submission rules.

Welcome!
