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.

It's not like it's all he posts. Clearly he is a voater. I think it should be encouraged to have activity outside of voat and if it's an interesting topic to voat share it. It's not like he's working full time spaming the place.

You just stepped into the middle of some retarded drama. I reported a couple users for spamming (which they were, of his own admitted work) and the domain they were spamming got banned from voat. (Note I am not even the one who reported the domain.)
A group of users including this country cunt chippytubes got their manties in a twist over the domain getting banned and have started trying to blame and ping me whenever it comes up, so I've started returning the favour with a copy/pasted reply.
I'm not at all sorry, and I enjoy their childlike flailing.

I guess I'm just debating if it should have been banned in the first place. Frankly I don't give a shit if he wrote the article.
I'm sorry you guys are having drama. Maybe both of you should stop pinging each other because it doesn't seem to be useful for either of your causes.

Can confirm the / Report Spammers sub is now being abused. Leftwing fags like Fambida spam mods and admin like Puttitout and Atko to get sites they don't like banned. Just like on reddit bannings, voat sites are banned all across voat because of political reasons.
