Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

As long as the shitty mods from /r/guns don't become mods here.

You'd know by the constant posts spewing hatred for the members here as well as constantly deleted threads.

Guns are racist homophobes.

I don't frequent /r/guns enough to have a serious opinion about their moderation, but if their moderation team was garbage, I'd see a lot more user backlash on either /r/guns or a similar forum. It looks like the mods of /r/guns aren't very happy about what has happened, which is why you now see the censored image on the subreddit.

I would imagine sadly that /r/guns would be the least SJW super biased sub there is.
Lots of moderates own guns. Id be willing to bet Moderate conservatives and liberals make up the bulk of gun owners. Not neo cons or commie liberals,

It's been well known for years that /r/guns had the worst moderators of reddit, which is why thousands of users left and founded /r/firearms.

Out of the loop here. What's happening over there?
[–] 404_SLEEP_NOT_FOUND 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Just curious, what makes them shitty...?
[–] CoyoteTan ago
It's a moderated sub. They don't allow memes. They don't allow politics outside of the politics thread. It makes for a smooth running sub with decent content but it rubs some people the wrong way. As a result r/guns is quite popular and /r/firearms is a relief valve for the people who dislike moderation. The irony is that r/guns has a mod team and actually kicked Zaptal47 off the team for being abusive to users. /r/firearms has one guy at the top who has had several of his own scandals including manipulating his own vote on adding other moderators or preserving the status quo.

Disdain for the members of the community, they think only what they want should be allowed and not what the community wants, bans for simply disagreeing with them, etc.
