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.

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

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.

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.

I think that's a good perspective to have. I don't expect the community to have to vote on every rule violation (that's what moderators are for) but if the community decides that harassment isn't a big deal, we can strike that rule asap and play it by ear. /v/gaming's rules evolve with the community and are regularly put up for review. I appreciate you and everyone who chooses to weigh in as a part of the community's decisions.

Thanks for linking me here. I think it's really good you reversed the ban and I hope the user appreciates it as well and stops being a pain in the ass. Its easy to be a dick but you don't have to be. You already know I opposed the rule 3 being there so thats all I have to say.

Gaming has mods? Why?
[–] ChillyHellion [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
mainly to avoid turning into the mountain of garbage that /r/gaming devolved to. good mods give the community the freedom to create rules for themselves, just like it says in the site-wide terms of service:
Subverses may create their own rules and enforce them as they see fit, providing they do not violate the terms of this agreement. You agree that voat is not responsible for the actions taken or not taken by moderators.
/v/gaming's rules are community-driven and put up for regular review even if no changes are requested. We push for clear and predictable wording and enforce those rules as fairly as possible.

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.
[–] Kadynce 8 points 0 points 8 points (+8|-8) ago
We wouldnt even need the rule if the block feature was implemented. We've been asking for it for a year at least T_T
[–] Cynabuns 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Consider suggesting that users add v/AVE to their browsers; the ignore feature works really nicely.
[–] ChillyHellion [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago (edited ago)
I think that's an excellent suggestion!
