I personally think while we can get rid of the doxing and brigading sections (Only the admins can really prove that inconclusively, anyways), the harrassment section should stay. Obviously, my opinion seems to be in the minority, but if it is obvious a particular user is following around another particular user for the sole purpose of griefing that particular user, that the mods should be able to step in and do something about it. In that vein, I think the harrassment rule should stay...with the caveat that the mod team and community formulate a specific definition of "harrassment".

That's just my $0.02

All great points. I agree with the doxxing and brigading points completely. What do you think of a site-wide block user button instead of handling it on a subverse basis? Then users each have the tools to block a heckler without affecting anyone else on the sub.

I think it's a great idea for Voat, actually. I will readily concede that it comes with the risk of users echo-chambering themselves, but I think we can generally trust Voat's users to seek out enough dissenting opinion on their own to prevent that becoming a sizable problem. At any rate, users are still free to speak whatever they wish, but as always with Free Speech, it is incumbent upon the speaker to be persuasive enough to get others to listen to what they have to say...the same concept applies with this ignore button/command idea, so I see no conflict with Voat's historical support of Free Speech.

OP it depend. If you want to referee personal disagreement with users and think you can do so in a way that result in both users staying and both sides agreeing to apologize and sticking with there apology then rule 3 should stay. If you do not want the work let it go and the community do its thing.

Its better if we make a bitchfight sub and let everyone duke it out in there.

It is an interesting idea but I don't see it working well. using myself as an example, if someone wants to argue with me I'm happy to do so (some days more then others) but if they are so into an internet argument that they create a specific post to continue it or insult me or even go on a downvoating campaign against me I'm just going to laugh to myself and go on with my day.

That is an old idea it is called the free market place of ideas.

I appreciate the constructive feedback. What would you think of a site-wide block button taking the place of any subverse rules against harassment? https://voat.co/v/ideasforvoat/comments/1211887

With respect, no one likes a heckler, but because harassment is so subjective, it makes more sense to place tools in the hands of each individual than to try to prevent it at the sub level.

Not sure if you saw or knew, but v/AVE has a block/ignore user feature to it - at least until we can get it from the Admins (and it's been requested at least a dozen times now :() - thanks for requesting/suggesting it again!

As long as personal disagreements can stay personal, I dont see a problem with it. There are private messages for a reason. When it fills up our subverse with unnecessary name calling in the comments, then it affects the discussion.
