You may have wondered why mod sensitive hasn’t been active for some time. Well, two things happened: chaos in my personal life, plus I lost my password for Voat. My own chaos is now under control, and I re-registered as sensitive2, this time jotting down the password in a safe place ;-) (BTW: many thanks for the CCP and SCP to help me get active here again!)

I would like to use this moment to explain how and why I became a mod:

I came here in early December 2016 as a new user (not from Reddit, by the way) and didn’t intend to stay long because I only wanted to share a small finding to the then young Pizzagate investigation. But since I am German, and English is not my native tongue, over time, I found it increasingly difficult to do deep digging to find relevant information for creating good investigative posts. So I resorted to helping and assisting through comments. Because it is neither my personality nor my conviction that strong language or insults are helpful, I ignored such assaults and conversations – I use my adrenaline for other pastimes :-) (playing the guitar, for example).

Then, on a sunny day in February, a mod approached me and asked me if I was interested in modding, explaining that the biggest job was deleting posts that violate the rules. I was neither interested in deleting posts, nor did I think that this was a big problem – as far as I could tell, the site always looked pretty good to me.

After some back and forth, I decided to give it a try. Man, had I been wrong! The reason the site always looked pretty good was that mods were shoveling out the trash by the ton – so fast I hadn’t had the chance to see all those shit posts. Humility was called for ;-)

Fortunately, deleting posts is not all there is to modding. When the quality of posts became better, I found more time to assist users, answer questions and help the community as a whole.

So why am I doing this in my sparse free time? Well, same reason why I came here in the first place. I want to help with the investigation, want to help this thing break wide open, get those arrests in the elites. By helping you create better posts which make for better redpilling, and by helping to make this sub as efficient and effective as can be, I believe I can contribute a small, but vital share.
