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

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.

You raise a good point. I did act on a report, but it wasn't from the targeted user himself. In light of that - and the community feedback generated these past hours - I've reversed all of my bans in /v/gaming that cite harassment as a sole cause.

I'd like to go one further and repeal rule 3 entirely, but because /v/gaming's rules belong to the /v/gaming community, I have to approach the community with any proposed changes to the rules. I've done that here: https://voat.co/v/gaming/comments/1211755
