You have someone who has never once posted in /r/conspiracy on Reddit, at least not on the account name they use on Voat, who knows how many sockpuppets this individuals has there - but you have this person who has never once participated in this sub there, now here, trying to commit infanticide to /v/conspiracy.
For all you know this Oracle guy could be David Reiss or NoLibs any other number of Conspiracy ankle biting control freaks who now have set their sights on what will eventually be the next Reddit. Assuredly, Axol and Allie aren't perfect, but they are forthright and they have always been outstanding contributors to /r/conspiracy.
To remove them and allow these people who have never even participated in this sub decide who's going to control it is pure folly.

I've been watching this sub very closely as the mini-migration happens.
There are a number of elements in play here.
We have the usual (and welcome) straight up nutters, dis-info trolls and the rest of us who simply question the presented narrative.
The only people I'm worried about are those that participate for the express intent of 'disrupting to discredit' that took over r/conspiracy a long time ago.
My account is the same as the reddit user, which is itself an alt of a veeeeeeery long time r/conspiracy participant.
The only answer to any issues of 'take over' or 'overthrow' is transparency, Shine light on everything, discuss all things with the exclusion of attacking individuals. For as long as you ignore edrama you starve trolls and time wasters of entertainment.
As for the mod issue; the only real way to solve that quandary is to make all issues related to who is and is not a mod openly discussed in the subverse itself.

I think this is the only thing brought up by this other individual that I agree with, I would like to see Voat implement a site wide system that allows for moderation transparency, similar to undelete/uncensorship.

Atko said that they have plans for a public log of all moderator action. Obviously it isn't live yet but when it is I think we'll see a stark change in how subs are moderated and how the contributors can respond to that. Without being able to shadowban or moderate in secret moderators will be held to a standard that they weren't at reddit, and that means only good things for the future.

I second this. We can't 100% prevent rot but we sure can slow it down a lot. Transparency is one of those things that slow it down.
[–] plumsound 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Yeah I'm with transparency running the ship, with a possibility of explanation for why it was deleted and maybe just censoring banned photos but keeping the post and have a flag on it in the post or send to v/undeletesubvoatamajigy

Conspiracy on reddit is kind just where the news that other subs won't allow goes.
[–] OWNtheNWO [S] 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
And reports of censorship by other subs.
[–] alphadelta 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
And a never-ending flow of 9/11 redundancy

Inactive mods should be reconsidered though

How about 365+1 days and you are gone?
[–] NomadDaGonad 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
On a serious note. I would never reuse a user name. It allows jaded users to cross reference you with a simple google search. sometimes I even create user names from popular searches to give it an "oh fuck it" feel from the first page of results.

I just don't cross streams, I have my political sphere, my gaming sphere and my personal sphere and I never let the 3 intersect, so some autist can dox me.

If you have a website that is "clean" ie not run by a corporation that works with the military and intelligence agencies, you have nothing to fear....they can come here, but they wont last....the only reason shill, agents and alike "win" over at reddit is becuase they have a massive support team, both with manpower as well as the ability to manipulate the mechanics of the site...IF THIS PLACE IS "REAL" THEY CAN'T/WON'T BE DOING THAT....NO 100,000 VISITS FROM EGLIN afb....
please use your mind....a call for mods is a call for the police....we all know what happens when hat happens...your brain washed ass calles them for help....they just shoot your dog and taze your granny

He's not on about me btw, just thought I'd clear that up. I was requesting a football subreddit when I was surprised that someone was requesting this subverse. That's when I decided to check here and see what was happening then saw this post which mentioned an "oracle" guy. Made me wonder who he's on about.
[–] The_Oracle 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
That would be me, in attempting to start a rational discourse about choosing moderators for this sub (since we are here at the proverbial ground floor) I am now being accused of being a sock puppet. Apologies for sullying your good name.
[–] VernacularOracle 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I'm not involved in this sub, so too much about what goes on and who's who. I just wanted to clear things up so I don't get randomly targeted. It's all good.
[–] OWNtheNWO [S] 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
We're perfectly fine with these mods, even Allie who's an OWS type. Why? because they aren't meddlers, I can't speak for Peglius and PrivateJoker because I don't know them.
[–] Herkimer ago
This is not real, OWNtheNWO. We would never do such things.
[–] OWNtheNWO [S] 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Implying you could do them, you are a pathetic shell of your former selves, whoever tried this was way more skilled than you are.
[–] Herkimer ago
I upvoted you my friend. Whenever you see me you will know I am on your side. I am sucking dick of jcm267, COINTELPROAgent and Facehammer from time to time, but I will never get in your way. Long live conspiracy OWNtheNWO and axolotl__peyotl.
