If AOU continues to attempt to start drama with misinformation, I think we should take a 'do not engage' policy.
It has been explained many times to him, he knows what to do if he actually wanted changes. He's just trying to rock the boat for us, so lets not play any more.
Reply to users that get sucked into it with the standard "Rules are decided by the community, consult them if you'd like to see change". Then just leave it at that.
If it is a genuine user with concerns, go ahead and discuss. But if it is someone just trying to stir the pot, or making unfounded accusations, only the canned-answer, then move on.
There is no point trying to defend ourselves against people with anti-community views, or those who didn't take the time to look into, or ask about, why things are the way they are.
So far only 4 people have raised any concern. 2 are users with personal grudges. 2 were PV mods that didn't do their homework before grabbing the pitchfork.
None are regular /v/videos users.
Until regular users have a problem, there is none.

Misinformation? lol
Check your /new and tell me 70% of the submissions are not spam.
Can't wait for @Atko and @Puttitout to step in and fix the mess you guys have created in default subs.

You guys never stop claiming the community decides, but in fact it's just a bunch of spammers who voice their opinion, and obviously they own you.
By turning a blind eye on obvious spam, you are turning voat into another reddigg.
You are just so disconnected with the reality, common sense is crying.
