I never would have found this awesome community if it wasn't for the shill who posted this attack.

TheUnexplained, like almost every other Voat community, has clearly defined rules.

Rules are necessary to keep the content valid, which is why /v/aww removes religious debate posts and why /v/debatereligion removes puppy picture posts.

Keep up the FANTASTIC work diesel4420!

Actually, aww does NOT remove off-topic posts. For the last month the sub has been dealing with trolls posting gore and I still haven't removed a single one of their posts. It's a system subverse and those should remain as censorship free as possible. Only things that break site-wide rules get removed.

However there is a good argument that a non-default subverse should curate content to keep everything on-topic. Keeping with the spirit of voat, any rules to that effect need to be minimalist and very clearly defined. In my opinion, this place shouldn't have or need any rules about "hate" and entirely subjective language. Having an exemption for the moderators is laughable, too.

Wrong!

Eight hours ago /v/aww implemented new rules.

Here, you can read all about them yourself: https://voat.co/v/aww/2898644

I wrote that, I'm quite familiar with everything going on there. Note that it does not say that anything will get removed for breaking the rule - only content that violates voat's site-wide rules will get removed, which has always been the case. That post simply establishes a rule under which bans may be given for violating a universal forum standard, after issuing multiple warnings. Check the mod log for removed posts and comments, you won't see anything related to the new rule there.

The post and comment mod logs are full of spam - a tribute to TheUnexplained mods.

A submission explored monsters in the Bible. A commentator expressed his genuine and legitimate view-point that he felt that the Jews were the worst monsters. The comment was censored.

Do you comprehend the ramifications of censoring free speech, it's consequences and how/why it might be abused?

ObamasPinkSock ago

Taken out of context.

Your shill friends have been spamming this community for days in the hope the mods would clean-up your mess so you can manufacture a "censorship crisis" and encourage people to attack.

Go fuck yourself.

The mod is censoring perfectly legitimate criticism of Jews by misrepresenting submissions and comments as "hate speech" or "racist". It's disingenuous and irresponsible.

My expectation of honesty, intellectual responsibility and freedom of speech doesn't make me a shill.

This community, like almost every Voat subverse, has rules, even if that makes you sad.

If I post pictures of kittens, that will be removed just like your irrelevant Jew spam or irrelevant cooking recipes.

Sorry shill but you can go fuck yourself.

The rules weren't broken. That's precisely my point. In the context of a conversation of pertinence to monsters in the Bible, a user proposed the Jews.

  • That's not against the rules.
  • It's not spam.
  • It's not racist.
  • It's not hate speech.

It's an objective, contextual and valid statement of fact.

Using logic on a moron is like talking to a liberal, a waste of your time.

ObamasPinkSock ago

Even though claiming that Jews are the worst monsters is true, it is also the definition of racist, you retard.

Renatus ago

"Jew" isn't a race.

Fuck off shill.
