User Moderation Policy Explained
As a community we need to commit to self-moderate. Trolls and shitposters often take advantage of the free speech environment afforded by minimal moderation to brigade us with troll attempts and shitposts. Harassing with shitpost brigades was (and is) one of the techniques employed by SRS on that other site. Our policy is not to delete these posts or ban these users, so we need the rest of the users to use their votes. Trolls will get tired if the only response they receive in here is downvotes. So sort by "New" and downvote all the troll and shitpost threads, then sort by "Hot" to browse the sub. Important threads will always be stickied
Adspam, Copypasta (duplicate posts and/or duplicate comments within the same thread), Dox, and Porn (exposed breasts/genitalia/anus/explicit sex acts) will be removed by the mod team. We will also remove posts that hijack web browsers in any way.
What is a "Concern Troll?"
Standard Answer for Concern Trolls
This sub is for documenting the attempts to drag Voat down into the mud by various censorship, advertising or shilling groups. One of our main goals is preventing the spread of PC-Driven Censorship to Voat. We watched self-righteous elitist powermods destroy the free speech environment that once existed on reddit. We will not allow that to happen to Voat.
The primary way to defend our free speech platform is to confront censorship when we see it.
If you feel you have been the victim of censorship, try PMing the mod to see if it was a misunderstanding of some kind. If this does not work, make a thread in here. Provide a link to the thread or relevant modlog. Ping the offending mod in a comment stating the issue. We will do everything we can to resolve the issue.
Use archive.is to screen-cap threads.

That doesnt make them corrupt it means they have a different definition of brigade than you. At the time people were spamming the discord and some of those same people were attacking Puttitout at a time he was vulnerable. Do you not see that at all or do you turn a blind eye to it completely? @kevdude and @Crensch aren't perfect but they aren't the monsters you make them out to be either. If you have a problem with them it's best to talk it out with them rather than vague threads looking to turn the voat populace against the whole sub. Thats the reason people re confusing you with SDBH because they did that to us for two years using very similar words and you always seem to have on of them in @Jambo in tow. Show us your not them by acting like an adult and discussing shit.

Right but you're throwing a bunch of drama at a mid 40's dad who doesn't give a fuck about she said, he said arguments and what happened last week. I can tolerate a bit of it but not a lot.
What I'm saying is when you see a thread you have an issue with, then and there is the time to speak up and say "hey this isn't good". I can't and won't presume to dictate to another free person what is wrong and right according to oiseaulibre in the sidebar here either. You will have to fight this fight yourself. It took us a long time to remove power mods from default subs in this site and we did by calling them out on the spot for the shit they pulled. Do the same yourself is my advice to you on it. Passive aggressive threads a week or two later aren't going to work for you. Strike while the iron is hot.
