Hi there LGH. Thanks for posting your findings. I have a couple of questions. Your headline says you were investigating Voat accounts. Your submission says you were investigating suspicious Voat accounts you think are Reddit mods, which you connected to a pedophile ring on Instagram. These grave assertions are made in a very vague way, and you provide no links whatsoever to support them. My concern is this is a common smear technique that relies on innuendo and confirmation bias which we have seen deployed here thousands of times, which is why our #2 submission rule is:

2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.

You need to edit this thread to provide the support for these claims, or repost it with a headline and text that does not make unsupported assertions (since headlines cannot be edited after the first 10 minutes). I will give you the 24 Hour Grace flair so you can add the missing information. Otherwise, please self-delete and repost sans the unsupported claims. Thanks!

I deleted it for you. Censorship is cancer

Thank you. No one wants to censor this. It just needs to fit within our submission rules. I can't arbitrarily leave up a post that ignores the submission rules. @Crensch will demod me for playing favorites.

That's right, and props to @lets_get_hyyerr for self-deleting. Cheers to both of you.

These grave assertions are made in a very vague way, and you provide no links whatsoever to support them.

Because it's not time to publish my findings yet. I'm not finished and if I were to publish everything now it would only hinder the rest of what I'm doing. It's like a detective trying to solve a murder case. They have to build up as much possible proof so the criminal can be punished without a reasonable doubt. Same concept applies for what I am doing.

This just happened to be some tangent discovery I made while conducting my main one. I simply mentioned that while I was researching into some Reddit mods who have accounts here, I stumbled upon this rabbit hole.

Feel free to remove the post at your will. This has nothing to do with my main research so removing this doesn't affect me whatsoever but does a disservice to the community here who should know about these obvious pedos I found. Whether you remove this or not, my main investigation will continue.

I understand completely. So, why even bring up the stuff that isn't ready for the public? Why not just make a post on the fact that Instagram is allowing a pedo ring to flourish? That is certainly relevant to pizzagate and worthy of a submission. We've had many like that about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

I agree completely. So why not make a post that we can leave up? Just cut the unsourced stuff out.
