Policy on linking dangerous research
1: Relevance: Posts must be directly relevant to investigation of Pizzagate: the sexual/physical abuse and/or murder of children by elites, child trafficking organized by elites, and/or cover-up of these activities and/or the protection/assistance provided to the people who engage in said activities. See definition of Pizzagate and examples of relevant posts.
2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.
3: Clarity: All titles must adequately describe post content and must establish direct relevance to pizzagate. EACH link in your post must include a description of content and how the link relates to the post (except when markup is used to embed links in the specific text they support).
4: Meta submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. Sourced activism / publicity posts and memes are allowed. Posts about the subverse itself go to /v/pizzagatemods.
5: You must label NSFW posts (“Not safe for work”; for example gore, nudity etc.) as such when submitting.
6: No Link Posts -- Only editable submissions made with the "Discuss" button are allowed. "Link" submissions have been banned by the community for the reasons described here. Link posts will be immediately removed.
Adspam, illegal content, and personal info about Voat subscribers will be removed, and the offender will be banned.

There is absolutely nothing stopping y'all from using the forum in this manner. But people want to accrue SCP for themselves (even though it does nothing for you...I think they think of it like reddit karma?) so everyone posts their own threads on the same topic instead of posting their material as a comment in a thread that is already live. I don't know why everyone does this, but they do.

Actually, this isn't true. Not if you are viewing via HOT. Anything people are commenting in rises to the top of HOT. And if you are viewing TOP, anything people are upvoating rises to the top. People just don't use it very effectively to keep posts alive. This is why it might be an interesting experiment to try a One-Thread-per-Topic Rule for a month or so.
This is true...although we could add a "NEW Info" flair. If we culled all but one thread, people would have to read the new comments to find out new info.

Interestingly, mods don't remove comments -- so all the anger about post removals would go away if people started posting their submissions as comments, as well.
Now that I think about it, this might be worth contemplating as a rule change. That is: allowing mods to remove posts on the same topic and asking folks to repost as a comment within whichever thread on the topic was put up first.

I did ask that to be made a rule and I was ignored.

Actually @Vindicator, I post these like this because I haven't see the search bar in 6 months. Otherwise, I'd tack onto someone else's post happily.

Putt had to remove Search both to simplify the port (it's a server hog), and especially to protect the site from the ongoing DDoS attacks. It is apparently quite simple to write bots that constantly search for stuff and bog down the server. That said, try using the search.voat.co (linked in the sidebar). It works better in many ways than the in-house search tool ever did.
