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.

this is why you're on the list
@draaaak do you want to get involved with this fucking shit? i dont blame you for declining. @Obrez here apparently thinks you ought to be involved.

EDIT: name cleared. seems clean then

He's the guy calling out people like you who vote manipulate and power trip, he's on this list because you researched his profile because he looks like a threat to a dishonest fuck like you so you are casting doubt on him ahead of time so if he does call you out you can say "I knew he was a pedo the whole time guys".
What you are doing is obvious for anybody to see and you are declaring people are pedophiles and acting like you are the fuhrer's ordained Stasi because you are the archetypal power hungry mod.
Soviet tricks don't work so well when people are familiar with them nigger
Apparently I'm a pedo because I told him what the legal status of loli is, so don't tell this retard the facts or you are a pedo, frankly I'm surprised he hasn't called me a kike, I wonder (((why not))).
