How many point do I need to get in order to message someone?
It seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just to post a few ideas (which caught some attention right away - before moderator deleted - as "YES!" so I'm trying to respond to them by private message, but can't.
What a mess. )
Well I'd say thanks, but I think you're trying to insult me for not seeing Rule 4 in the sidebar --
Guess what? My (widescreen desktop monitor w/ no expansion of font) - DOES NOT have a Sidebar, and I don't see Rule 4, on various pages.
Well I wish I knew where to find this RULE FOUR.
I violated it and had what I thought was a fine post deleted (asking about priorities on pizzagate) -
So how in the heck did I VIOLATE a RULE, that I'm not even aware of what it is?
Social Media wtf? Facebook at least explains itself. LOL
I'm really surprised you still haven't had voat admins be top mods at very important default subs like news, politics, worldnews. These are places that matter and people with money and power will try to influence. Don't even allow them the possibility.
Honestly, this place is great because of the community activity. Probably the best site I've been a part of, because the people here care about here and police our shit. This shit being called out and then the admin weighing in. This is how the net is done right.
Atko I'm glad you intervened. Much of voat was worried you had become absent since we hadn't seen ya in a month or two.. hope you're doing well brother. Thank you for keeping voat going. I love voat <3
The same people who are brigading have long ago made it impossible to recruit new users and maintain the interest of old ones. All the free speech on this site is wasted because 90% of the users have the exact same opinions. That fight isn't worth it, though I still enjoy rustling your jimmies because you aren't really a bad dude. Just a bit of an over-serious person.
News does not start with news outlets any more than history starts with textbooks. Both are built upon the output of those who record their observations. Such output can and should include images and even editorialised titles. And like it or not, social media are the clay tablets of our era. For moderators to presume to have the prescience needed to judge what should become part of humanity's collective history is ludicrous.
his comment is usually already at the bottom and out of sight by the time i see it, the problem is that its still sent to the rouge janitors and they act on it
ah, but weren't those the days! the drama was palpable! everyday i tuned in just to see what @she was going to say next (and how many billions of d/v's she could generate) LOL
Title of your thread "v/newsmods Using Rules to Censor the Leaks". The leaks are posted to the sub and I posted the links of exactly the information that your title insinuates doesn't exist.
edit: And you posted this title to the /v/news sub "Podesta Emails Release 11 - This should not be deleted off of Voat" That implied the post was deleted. Here is the exact link that you posted, on the sub earlier posted by another user https://voat.co/v/news/1353457
Wow, that is just like what an r/politics mod would have said a year ago: "what do you mean? we let that through after we deleted the main conversation". We've seen where these tactics lead.
truely, it doesnt matter what @unruly 's motivation is. hes an idiot, and hes being useful to people that strongly dislike that voat is discussing these things
yeah, i won't completely disagree - i deleted my comment that you replied to because it's more complicated than i had thought - that rule 4 is a strange one - needs to be refined at least

I realize your post is 2 months old now, but - what is Rule 4? I just had a post deleted due to it.
libertyvs ago
I just had a post deleted, citing Rule 4. What is Rule 4? Where do I find it. Is this a VOAT-wide issue or a pizzagate specific. What the heck?

Why post to Twitter when you are just making people click another link to get at the goods? You're just trolling for attention.

Nah I just think you made a smug little comment man, chill

You should just demod the toolbags @amyacker and @typo. They are cancermods from Plebbit, as this incident shows.
Anyway, +1 good work.

I'm serious though, that would be a good community guideline right now

REMOVE SHIT MODS NOW. WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS REPEATEDLY. STOP THE CANCER.
Typo ago
He said only blatant spam removed. I was asking for clarification since others can read this and might take it the other way.
Big_Willy_Wallace ago
Cut the shit. You know what you're doing. You're being paid for it. Kill yourself.
SaneGoatiSwear ago
oh also, why does your profile quote now say "question everything" in latin?

Just to clarify so we are on the same page, all the rules taken off the sidebar, only spam removed. Correct?

Take your check from the Clinton campaign and buy yourself a bottle of bleach. Then, drink the bleach.

I think you're making fair responses and fair points. I do not see why you are being downvoated.
Gorillion ago
Because he's being a snotty, passive aggressive little turd.
cointelpro_shill ago
Just put "ASSANGE POSTS ONLY" in the sidebar

fuck yeah.

You said that the leaks were being censored. I linked you to posts that are exactly what you say are the ones being censored.

First two links that you posted was posted here https://voat.co/v/news/1353457

eh, wouldn't it be better if sys subs were moderated only by users and jans?
and again, it's not me d/v'ing you - you seem to have a parasitic attachment :)

When a twitter feed is the fastest news source for a subject, and it's archive.is are called to be deleted cause "no pictures" it's kind of fucked up.

SaneGoatiSwear ago
i think you're hitting on an important point:
the spirit of the rules is to remove non-news items and as this is part of ongoing news, it ought not be deleted.
ARCHIVED before posting sure.. but not deleted....
6double5321 ago
Some archives were reported? for being screenshots. (mobile?)
6double5321 ago
@unruly comes to mind. People have asked about it.
