I appreciate the feedback! Part of rule 3 was mainly not wanting people to have an inbox flooded with comments if they pick up a stalker - that's why "sustained" is in the criteria, so collapsing the comment or downvoating it doesn't resolve that issue. But it's also a situation that happens fairly infrequently since I've been here.

You're a top notch voater, Cynabuns; I appreciate your level-headedness.

Good job reversing. I say keep the rule but get some community feedback first? Only thing I can think of right now. Spam will happen more and more as Voat grows so there needs to be guidelines. I like this sub. Not very active but I voat a lot.

I appreciate the feedback. Rule 3 (and all of /v/gaming's rules) belong to the community and are only created/modified with community feedback. In fact, the sticky that this sticky replaced was a feedback thread specifically for rule 3, which had been around for a year already.

I think it's a good idea to stay away from deciding on what harassment is. Maybe instead of arguing we can all get together when the admins come back and ask them if they have time to implement some sort of block function that doesn't rely on a browser addon.

I think that's an excellent suggestion!

I do, but I'm adament about going through each comment and replying personally. It's taking a long time, and I apologize if I miss a few.

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.

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.

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.

No one but the admins can prove brigading anyway so that's a bit of a useless rule to have for a mod to enforce. Doxxing is something for the admins to handle also if they wish and I think harassment is too subjective for a few people to interpret.
[–] ChillyHellion [S] 1 point 4 points 5 points (+5|-1) ago
You've channeled my thoughts on brigading to a T. And you're right that doxxing is already in the TOS. The TOS does expressly require mods to enforce the site-wide rules (including doxxing), but that's no reason for us to double-cover a site-wide rule in the sidebar.

Awesome. Baby sitter mods are the worst.
I take back my hateful remarks.

I appreciate it :) they may have been short and colorful, but at the same time I understood where they were coming from and wanted to personally reach out and say so.
