Here's a list of our mods atm and their background involvement and accountability/roles
@kingkongwaswrong - creator of sub, first owner, current go-to-mod for users to ping
@crensch - redundancy owner, mod of /v/protectvoat. Trying to fill the gaps and enforce the rules while we build up our mod team
@VictorSteinerDavion - mostly hands off redundancy owner.
@knowthyself - flair organiser, rule enforcer
@millenial_falcon - shill watch, rule enforcer. General @kevdude aggravator.
@numbchuck, @phobos_mothership - shill watch, rule enforcers
@melitica - investigative organization, flairs, potential megathread creation
@justiceforever - morale officer. Not a mod per se, but posts morale boosting stuff on Morale Monday. Important.
@heygeorge - css and design guy
@kevdude - not a mod per se, but is an objective third party making sure we avoid censorship and narrative hijacking. important. lead mod at /v/protectvoat
These will change, who knows. The more redundancy & extra hands we have, the more people can start to think of creative ways to help the community and organise intelligent things eg. maybe an effort to evaluate and set up voat alternatives in the case of a shut down, or writing weekly digests of info or something. who knows.
So far everyone's been great and I want to thank you all. Some of you already know I'm going to be phasing out my efforts soon, and I think we have a really nice team to take over. So be kind to each other & keep up the amazing work.
I'll be posting a sticky in the main sub soon letting everyone know about me leaving, about you guys & to ping you instead, and a link to this sub so people can see our moderation discussions + leave comments
#on owners & redundancy
We now have 3 owners from very different backgrounds. @kingkongwaswrong is a new account, @crensch is a known figure, mod of /v/protectvoat and fierce anti-censorship person, and @victorsteinerdavion is a long term member of the voat community with lots of lucid comments.
Three points of contact should mean the canary is any kind of moderator purging, esp mod purging. If there is any strange, unaccounted for behaviour, the rest of the group can do something about it, or say something.
Nothing is totally safe or secure, but hopefully this structure means there's no single point of failure.

Thx for keeping this running! Hopefully we see these children set free sooner rather than later and these demons abusing them behind bars.
