Do the mods know about it? I'm sure it's likely they weren't aware it only went back 8 pages.

I did not know that was the case. I'll start a conversation with the other mods to archive every 8 days.
[–] ConcernedParent2 ago
I think this post should be left up. Rules are meant to be followed but they can also be ignored in special occasions, and I think this warrants that. This is definitely a problem and something that needs to be dealt with and people need to be aware of.

That's it? An archive? Do us peons get to see it?
Also, you deleted me already. So you want pizzagate users to be ignorant of this issue?
[–] sore_ass_losers [S] ago
I posted on pizzagatewhatever, pizzagatemods, and here (even though I know it won't last long).
I was trying to go way back, got tired of hitting the Next button and started entering a page number. 19 is the highest it goes.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Thank you for calling this to people's attention. This is a really scary, big fucking deal. Lots of great research lost forever/only remains in screenshots. 8 days is nothing, great research was done over a month ago
Haha, just realized the mods can now say "link me to ONE good post that was deleted" because we can't! They're gone!
VOAT IS DONE

Yeah, it sucks so bad, an illusory "Deleted Submissions" link.

"Leave Reddit for Voat. There's complete free speech and a mod log, nothing is ever deleted permanently!"
Free speech except meme magic and "general discussion" (unless mod-initiated). Nothing less-than-a-week-old* is deleted permanently, the rest is.

Hey @sore_ass_losers, yeah you're right, I do have to take this down bc of rule 4, BUT, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'm going to bring it up to the other mods and suggest we start archiving the deleted posts every 8 days or so. I'll ping you when we reach a decision.
[–] sore_ass_losers [S] ago
The 8 days is just a measure of current traffic. I think the bottleneck is 19 days. I went to /v/funny, page=19 gets me a message about no deletions, page=20 gets me something went wrong.
[–] abortionburger ago
Noted. I'm thinking once a week archive. Do you think we should do it twice a week just to be safe?
[–] sore_ass_losers [S] ago
You have to take this down? What about announcing it to voaters? Your first instinct is to cover up?
[–] abortionburger ago
You should also bring this up to @crensch and @kevdude at v/protectvoat.
[–] abortionburger ago
Again, it violates rule 4. I'm trying to work with you here.
[–] sore_ass_losers [S] ago
So all the lost posts are gone? Thanks for all the deletions, buddy!
[–] abortionburger ago
If posts broke the rules, they were deleted. That is the way it has always been.
