Subverse rules are a feature Voat is implementing to remove subjectivism from moderator actions such as comment and submission deletions as well as user bans. Currently a moderator simply has to provide a “reason” why they are performing such actions, and seeing that often times this reason is made up on the spot, we are not happy with this. Going forward when a moderator performs such actions they will be required to select a rule violation. This requirement will help to establish the validity of the action.
Rules can be created at a subverse level by a moderator and Voat has some basic global rules, both of which are available as a selection on these moderator action screens as well as all report dialogs (comment/submission reports).
Rules will also be used in all domain and user bans going forward.
This feature is now in beta on the preview site and any testing would be greatly appreciated.
What needs testing:
- Subverse Rule creation
- Reporting comment and submissions in a subverse (making sure they show up in the v/sub/about/reports page)
- Moderator user banning and unbanning (all this code has been changed)
- Moderator comment and submission deletions
Test site: https://preview.voat.co/
P.S. The Vote feature is nearly fully implemented on the preview site, meaning you can create them, vote on them, and then manually process them for full lifecycle testing. :)

Which will do a fat lot of good if we still have to rely on an admin who is, as we are constantly told, to busy doing Dev work to actually admin. Don't think that the things you do aren't appreciated but it's the things you're not doing which is causing the current problems.

Everything I am working on is to help resolve this.
You will soon see why we are working to have the community manage itself rather than rely on a centralized operator.

There never was a centralized operator, just an absentee landlord painting lipstick on a dead pig.
Fix the fuckin site before you try to "innovate"

Let's see your todo list.
freshmeat ago
1) eliminate shills and manipulation
2) transparency
3) eliminate and take hard action against anyone who initiates and encourages brigading
4) remove pedophilia subverses and stop using the argument of free speech to push the line for sexualizing children
5) Find a path to create a supporter base outside of bitcoin
6) Speak to the community in other contexts aside from posts about updates no one asked for
7) look into those who exploit Voat (SBBH)
Oh wait that should be your to-do list. And I find it very intriguing that you responded to beatle in here, who is responsible for making you delete voat whateverchat, then subsequently tried to ruin our discord but didn't have any success.
my to do list:
1) Drink beer, roast nerds, and find me a good woman who loves me for who I am and what I believe in, and will leat me eat her ass.

@puttitout
Can you respond to this? I'm starting to see less and less of a reason to praise you.
I hope by now you know I'll hold you to the flame, even as I stand here naked. I've already told you anon makes good use of this place. Should I take on a more active role here?
