The mods have stepped down. Thank-you to all of the great users of this sub, we love you, nothing personal (videos)

We the former mods of /v/videos will always support both speech and community control.

It has been made clear that the community wishes must be superseded by site rules.
I understand this. I just viewed it differently.

We have/had OC in /v/videos that was popular. We've had videos start out on Voat, posted by their creator go viral and reposted on Eddit and else where.
I loved that, and will miss them.

So long

I still see /u/THC listed as a mod.

Does this mean /u/AOU's ban has been lifted as well? I saw /u/Puttitout's comment about there being limits in place for the "report spam" function already, which seemed to imply this outcome.

Overall I'm sad about this outcome. Seems there could have been an easier solution on some middle ground somewhere. Does anyone have any links for someone trying to piece this whole drama together?

They did have to lift the ban after @puttitout stepped in and told them this:

Banning a user on a system sub for spam reports, as defined by Voat, should not be done.

My comment was entirely directed at the fact that a user was banned for reporting spam that is (apparently) inline with what Voat considers spam.
