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. :)

Not that I care much myself but people were fidgety about it. Thanks.
Let people make their own subversusand do with them what they like, user have mobs and brigades descend on them because one power user is pushing no comment deletions. The reddit power mods here have been replaced with power userswho think they run voat and are perfectly willing to spend the time and energy to disrupt communities. They hve list of unwritten ules thy impose on nyone here wantig to just share some interests ad its only getting worse. You saw it happen on reddit. You saw it here with Sanegoat callig everyone shills. Now you have people like @crensch calling anyone who disagrees with him and doesnt want to torture jews a shill and this is the user you have a sticky of to greet users in https://voat.co/v/introductions/1350015 with a list of unwritten rules they have to abide by or have shoved down their throat(check out the politics section). How would you feel reading that if you were new? The users have no one but you and a few of us other to stick for them. Dont give too much power to the elite mob who runs out new communities coming here.

How irrelevant you are.

@PuttItOut this is the guy who welcomes new users to voat in the sticky in v/introductions. That's something you can do something about. How is he any different to a reddit power mod shitting on users? This is how he talks to the v/pizzagate users who have problems with his modding. This is the guy that runs off reddit migrations with threats and words like he used to me. People still trying to make head or tail of voat. This is the guy who is a mod of ProtectVoat.
I mean his opinion of me is his business, not mine but careful who you let influence you. Some one who needs to put others down to build themselves up should be welcoming people to Voat.

Haha, we need Goat awards because you would win the most pathetic pedophile on this website. You would be the first in line to stand in front of the wall.
