Hi there @AlanAB. Welcome to Voat and v/pizzagate. Thanks for sharing some of your story. We are a research subverse and require linked support for all major claims -- which gets a bit dicey for people who are victims and are giving personal testimony that they can't support with corroborating links people can look up themselves. The way we handle that is to give these types of posts an "Unverified" flair so that folks know they need to be aware they could be reading a LARP. Readers can decide for themselves if your material is worth investigating. The flair is not a judgement call by the mods. :-)
I do have a small criticism of your policy in that most sources one could link to on the internet would be bad guy run so there's a lot of irony in linking to such things to provide credentials when they are in the opposite business.
You can check my feed and the post for various proofs (and I have more) including the presidential tweet that was aimed at me, but if those aren't good enough then it won't be long before the DECLAS hits and the videos become public - I was given a code a few days ago that implied my videos were going to be the first to be made public so it won't be that long.
In theory it is good practice as many "victims" are indeed larps, and as a result the real victims can't bust through the noise as the larps are the ones the cult promotes - hence further irony as they, unlike me, would be more likely to have links they can be bound to from plants in the cult controlled internet.... so well I guess I'm just saying you might want to rethink a policy that has a glaring logical flaw.
I hear you. The reason we require links, is because we had a lot of early-on forum sliding with incredibly low-quality posts that were just people venting, giving their opinions, etc. and we're about gathering evidence, here. The flair is about reader awareness -- and to prevent folks outside of this sub, such as the MSM for example -- from using a LARP post as evidence we are a crazy, obsessed cult who will believe anything.
Originally, we did not accept personal testimony at all on this board, and required it be posted in v/pizzagatewhatever. But we came up with this compromise.

that makes sense, and you'll get your linked articles in a quantity that'll boggle the mind soon anyway ;)

Looking forward to it!
