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. :)

very good and thank you

I see

You fucking piece of shit. You really are just a fuckin' sell out. I highly doubt you're even still Justin Chaistain, or that there ever was a Justin Chastain to begin with.
You know, once, this site used to be something worth visiting. Now, you've just turned it into another SRS playground. Fuck you, Putt. I hope you fucking rot.
Broc_Lia ago
If Putt were controlled by SRS I'm pretty sure this site would have been griefed long before now.
I agree democracy is a threat though.
Grifter42 ago
It's not democracy when a bunch of SRS cunts larping as conservatives use bots to manipulate upvotes and downvotes to control the flow of information.
WhiteRonin ago
Call out those who using bots.
An open statement is a very liberal attack vector.
R u a liberal?
Grifter42 ago
No, I'm not a fucking liberal.
Liberals/SRS/(((Shitposters))) are the ones using the fucking bots. Look at /r/Politics. All a bunch of botted posts that hit /r/all.
Every day a dozen threads shitting on Trump are botted to the front page of Reddit.
Here, a bunch of power users either use alts, or bots to upvote their own posts and downvote others.
WhiteRonin ago
I don’t reddit. Fuck that shit.
I can see some of the power users doing that. The problem is that you only call out one side.
Maybe a solution is to vote on bans. But democracy doesn’t work.
Removing bans sounds like a good idea but we have spammers, sliders and shit posters. They can ruin a sub.
Getting banned after 1 post is wrong. So, we probably need a different mechanism to initiate a ban. How about 3 strikes? Each step gets an auto generated notice based on predefined selection choices. All questionable content gets fully locked so nobody can post and then if somebody wants to challenge a ban they get escalated to a higher committee or 30 day peer review with a poll.
So what are your suggestions?
Grifter42 ago
Voat was fine before you SRS faggots took over and ruined the place.
Voting on bans would just result in you motherfuckers brigading people out of the discussion, which you already do by the soft censorship of downvote brigading people into the negatives when they call your bullshit out.
You SRS cunts ARE the spammers, sliders, and to just claim it as "LOL, WE WUZ JUST SHITPOSTERS AND SHIIET" when you're actively acting like JIDF, and harassing your opponents off the site, trying to dox people, and acting like a bunch of thugs is just another of your bullshit tactics.
How about you fucking SBBH faggots go back to Reddit? That'd be nice.
It'd also be nice if Putt didn't act like a low-rent version of Spez.

Here try this:
https://voat.co/v/subversion/2424050
I commented that I could read Korean in Japanese.
I got banned and commented deleted. I didn’t shit post. It was a joke but if I post in other subs like that I am not shit posting.
Just like I am responding to you. I am trying to have a debate/conversation and you are the one who has used potty mouth language. Yeah, I write fuck and shit all the time but not right now.
My idea of the peer review over 30 days would allow the public to perform in a democratic fashion. The vary same fashion you bash SBBH for. This is a very liberal method. No college votes. Just goats.
See the 30 days are enough that so that people can cool down. Also, the 3 strikes gives the offender more than enough chances to consider their actions.
Without 3 offenses in the sub, you can’t get banned. No feelz involved.
What is your solution. I have provided a solid one. What’s your’s?
Grifter42 ago
You people have banned me from SBBH without a single post in it.
You're just treading water, trying to filibuster around the fact that you people are no different from SRS.
WhiteRonin ago
I didn’t ban you.
You crew banned me from rPV. Fake sane is @tallest_skil . Fake because Sane was smarter. Mightyyetgentle is @freshmeat — several sources agree.
So what did we just prove?
Jack shit bro!
Look at my posts about the bans. Why don’t you be useful and provide constructive criticism or provide opinions instead of trying to argue about useless retarded shit!
Tallest_Skil ago
Still waiting for proof of your libel, by the way. How’s that coming? I still don’t even know who this faggot is and at this point I don’t give a shit. I want you and your paid shill buddies to be executed for treason, and then I want your accounts banned for a laugh.
Why don’t you be useful and actually refute anything I’ve said rather than screaming impotently that “HE’S MY BOOGEYMAN THEREFORE HE’S WRONG NOW BECAUSE I SAY SO!”
WhiteRonin ago
I said fake sane not sane. Learn to read.
How is what coming?
Which fagget?
You can get paid? How much?
Banned? You the one who bans people? I haven’t banned anybody. Irony is not your strong point!
Refute your point? I haven’t seen your sub protect much besides like 1 post. Let’s put your money where your mouth is.
Who screamed besides you?
Tallest_Skil ago
Still waiting for the proof.
WhiteRonin ago
That you are gay?
@lllllilllllllli pm’d me about it.
Besides you didn’t answer any of my questions. So why should I show you any courtesy?
Tallest_Skil ago
So when did you stop beating your wife?
WhiteRonin ago
I should have let her stick her dildo up your ass!
See how that works ;)
