I've added a new rule to reflect the Voat User Agreement. Please share your thoughts. (pizzagatemods)

submitted ago by Vindicator

Yesterday, after this debacle, I added a rule about Comment Abuse for the sake of clarity.

The Voat User Agreement requires us all to Respect Other Users, both their privacy and their freedom of speech. People who work hard on their research submissions shouldn't have their work overshadowed, their free speech suppressed, and the discussion of their submission derailed by off-topic rants, flame wars or copypasta spam in the Comment section. It's not right.

This has actually been in place for several months under Voat's Sitewide Rules. If you check the banlog, you will see that Putt added the Voat User Agreement to the rule violations list moderators can cite some time ago, and Donkey and his many alts were banned for comment abuse under that -- at the request of multiple users -- after he impersonated another user to discredit her research. TrustTheTruth was also banned for comment abuse under the Voat UA spam clause because he spammed the same longwinded, evidence-free rants over and over again, regardless of the submission topic.

It's now spelled out in our sidebar. Thoughts?

Edit: Link to banlog fixed.

It would have to have impacted me and/or been accurate for me to have to "recover" from it.

Nice bluff. I see how your lackeys fall all over themselves to protect your supposed 'good name'.

Spoken like a reddit mod.

Better than a PV lackey.

My only regret is not seeing you for what you are sooner.

Oh man, the feeling is mutual.

HoHO! The downvote here is so SALTY. 13m in. We all know who gave it.

God it feels good.

Oh, man. It's even more beautiful. FIVE votes called in by THE @kevdude.

Running a little low on support lately, are we?

The 6th is me...

So let me ask you, who supports your gatekeeping outside of your PG/GA mod group ? Outside of your PG/GA subs ?

Crensch ago

Outside of your PG/GA subs ?

You've almost got it. Just a little further.

I'll take people that matter for $1,000.

Rotteuxx ago

So you're saying that unless users believe in Q they don't matter ?

Crensch ago

That's not what I'm saying. Try again.

Rotteuxx ago

Since you refuse to answer a straight question and want to play games, I'll take it that people outside your subs don't matter in your eyes and that you don't give a shit about freedom of expression unless it serves your interests.

Since you refuse to answer a straight question

I did answer.

Question: "So you're saying X?"

Answer: "That's not what I'm saying."

Literally the definition of answering your question.

I'll take it that people outside your subs don't matter in your eyes

You got it!

and that you don't give a shit about freedom of expression

You don't give a shit about freedom of association, and you also seem to forget that communists lose their rights in the eyes of US law. If memory serves, there's much more to it than that.

Here's where you find yourself: "Everyone should have to watch my gay pride parade because I have freedom of speech."

unless it serves your interests.

You mean the interests detailed in the sidebar of the sub?

Man, you guys are really just not that good at this.

You say that but fail to back it up with anything to make it sound like an intelligent thought.

Here's where you find yourself: "Everyone should have to watch my gay pride parade because I have freedom of speech."

You talk a lot about gays and communists, not surprising coming from a Zionist though.
