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.
