i'm disappointed.

while i disagree with your rule, and while i disagree that mods on a default sub have any right to ban for something like this. (this is voat, not fucking reddit), and while i believe that this action has thrown us down the slippery slope to censorship,

i gotta say

if i'm reading your extended rules correctly,

"If a user is receiving messages or replies which are causing them genuine distress, we will deal with that." (1)

that means the user(s) being targeted would have to complain.

from what i see here:

https://voat.co/v/gaming/comments/1204471/5955518

it doesn't sound like dabork is distressed over alphawookie being a troll, i think he's clearly stating here he couldn't give a shit.

so while alphawookie is totally being a troll, as far as the rules are concerned in this sub as they are, if dabork doesn't care, then it's not harassment.

THAT SAID

this rule is unacceptable, and as YOU say (1), this is a community driven rule model, so as a gamer and a voat v/gaming community member, i say fuck this reddit-style rule in the ass, and get it the fuck out of here.

hurt fee fee safe spaces are for reddit, not voat

you have just made v/gaming into r/gaming. undo the damage by undoing the ban, removing the rule and replacing it with a statement to the effect: voat is not a safe space. if your fee fees are hurt there are plenty of mainstream sites to frequent.

You raise some good points, and I encourage you to speak up in the /v/gaming sticky for review of rule 3: https://voat.co/v/gaming/comments/1209908 /v/gaming's rules are not my creation; they belong to the community and have always been written and maintained with direct feedback from the /v/gaming community.

ok i'm well aware of the rule and them being community driven, i read the thing, ya know... i even cited it in my comment.

so let's break it down, chel:

  1. the community rule sucks and has no place on a default sub on voat. it would fit in perfectly with reddit. that is MY OPINION. and i'll be sure to stick my two cents in that thread. thank you for the link.

  2. really the important one here, and what is not up to interpretation is that: THE BAN YOU HAVE HAMMERED IS NOT BY THE STANDING COMMUNITY RULE. in short: you have gone over the bounds of the rules with this ban,

UNLESS you have something from dabork stating "i'm under genuine distress"

i am directly contending your ban right here on your ban, not on behalf of that jackbooted repetitive troll, but on behalf of the standard of free speech here on voat. you have banned a user for "harassment causing a user 'genuine distress'" although clearly he's being uber classy, for example https://voat.co/v/gaming/comments/1204471/5955518 being chill and here

https://voat.co/v/interestingasfuck/comments/1197712/5920435

he actually gives the guy a code to refresh his page easier, lol.

doesn't sound like "genuine distress" to me.

sounds like overstepping the community rules. so unless you have something showing "genuine distress" take back the ban, replace the status quo of freeze peach on default subs to where it was: actual freeze peach, not partial freeze peach slide to deaddit, or the indicator species will die and everyone will leave voat. lol. seriously.
