TL:DR - Voat has moderator logs for every subverse, many months ago I placed links to these on the sidebars of all the subverses I moderate because I support moderation transparency (Edit: I've removed my own links as Voat now includes these links on the sidebars of all subverses). I will remove all types of spam content but I will not remove peoples views or opinions. If you see something I've removed you don't agree with then let me know, feedback is welcome. I'm here to clean up, I'm not here set a narrative.
I really hate this kind of pointless meta drama but I feel like I have to respond to the following with facts.
False information on twitter - https://twitter.com/AvatarX/status/698287811770740739
False information on reddit - https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/45hn06/i_was_pushed_out_of_moderating_vbitcoin_guy_who/
False information on voat - https://voat.co/v/bitcoin/comments/798308/3949840/4259448#4259448

BashCo (Moderator of /r/Bitcoin) was removed for being inactive (Done within the rules of Voat) - https://voat.co/v/subverserequest/comments/597334 - Never mind that BashCo along with other reddit /r/Bitcoin moderators have been responsible for massive amounts of censorship, lies and FUD. None of them can be trusted to moderate impartially on Voat. Reddit moderators have already tried to destroy other subverses, I won't let that happen to /v/bitcoin.

AvatarX was removed for abusing moderator tools making it impossible for me to trust them moving forward, details below.
AvatarX removed two of my comments without warning.

You can see them in the mod log - https://voat.co/v/bitcoin/modlog/deletedcomments
Days later I discovered AvatarX had been continually abusing the moderator distinguish button to make his own personal posts (Comments and submissions) more visible. Only posts which involve moderation should be distinguished.
When I asked AvatarX to stop abusing the moderator distinguish button they essentially said no - https://voat.co/v/bitcoin/comments/853814/4247297/4248092#4248092
AvatarX has always been free to contribute to Voat about any topic but has barely done anything with only 4 links, 4 discussions and 46 comments compared to my currently 2149 links, 30 discussions and 698 comments (348 submissions to bitcoin).
AvatarX has continually claimed to have "brought over a few hundreds new users" and "it only started getting active again because of me bringing people over." but I've seen little to no evidence of this.

Thanks!

I've added /v/bitcoincore to "Other subverses" on the sidebars for /v/bitcoin, /v/bitcoinguides and /v/cryptocurrency. Also added to Bitcoin subverses on GitHub which is under "Quick links" on the /v/bitcoin and /v/bitcoinguides sidebars. Also asked for it to be added to the cryptocurrency list in /v/vocatalog - https://voat.co/v/vocatalog/comments/745550//4279617#4279617
I would suggest you keep /v/bitcoincore active by posting some regular content, perhaps post once a week with the weekly IRC dev meetings - https://bitcoincore.org/en/meetings/2016/02/11/
Feel free to use any of the code used on /v/bitcoin which you can find on the sidebar under "Credits and sources".

Thank you very much.
I will take you up on your offer of re-using some of the code, as I'd like to use similar guidelines as /v/bitcoin, as I have my first off-topic post which I'll need to handle.
