Since rule#2 was deleted, maybe you should unban all the people that violated it. ( conspiracy )

submitted by middle_path

If you want to remain mod here, it would be a good olive branch.

middle_path

Everyone got unbanned except amalek. There is hope!

middle_path

Putt doesn't respond to pings, thanks to sanegoat. In the mods defense, he unbanned everyone except amalek.

clamhurt_legbeard

it is clear that the mod is trolling them back in a v/soapboxbanhammer fashion.

SDBH is a shitposting sub, and nobody gets banned seriously unless they violate sitewide rules.

Is /v/conspiracy a shitposting sub? No. It's not. So banning people because of your feelings is wrong and the mod should be removed.

What was rule #2?

middle_path

No racism, sexism, etc.

salvia_d

Cool, thanks.

The owner of the sub mistakenly referred to the sub as a subreddit

No...I jokingly referred to it as a subreddit in a thread where I was being repeatedly accused of being a reddit shill. The desired effect was achieved.

IMO it would be a very classy move and demonstrate a lot of maturity if @axolotl__peyotl were to step down. Like people have said, voat communities should not be about one person or group controlling things or dictating what is appropriate. Opting to remain in control, only fractures the community. What do you gain by holding on to this meaningless power?

axolotl__peyotl

They violated rule #1 which still stands, sorry.

The users that violated rule #1 who asked to be unbanned have already unbanned.

Edit: unbanned everyone

middle_path

Could you hive some examples of this spam? I also think it's a little rediculous that you require a person to request to be unbanned under a rule that no longer exists, then you move the goal post to claim they violated rule #1.

Also, the ban reasons for a lot of these examples are childish. A lot of it is name calling.

I'm giving you a chance to defend your actions, thank you for taking the time to reply..

axolotl__peyotl

Yup...I literally only deleted posts that said SUBVERSE OWNER IS A KIKE FAGGOT NIGGER CUNT...I didn't even delete comments that said that...just the posts that were flooding our sub.

then you move the goal post to claim they violated rule #1

I never claimed they violated rule 2, so no goalpost was ever moved.

the ban reasons for a lot of these examples are childish

I literally wrote random conspiracy theories in the ban reasons.

It's called trolling the trolls and their reaction has been fascinating.

I'm giving you a chance to defend your actions

My actions? I was unjustly targeted in one of the weakest internet which hunts I've ever seen, received numerous death threats, all because I removed one comment a month ago from a user that personally reached out.

I've unbanned all the spamming cunts so enjoy the shitshow they want to turn /v/conspiracy into.

middle_path

I don't disagree that you should have banned the people calling you nigger, etc. That's fair. But trolling the trolls isn't a good tactic, it's best to be the better man and act rational. Trolls want to drag you down to their level, it's their greatest tactic and you fell for it.

I appreciate seeing your side to the argument, thank you for being rational about it.

Edit - great job on unbanning everyone.

madmalloy

Oh boy, the army of one is screaming, whatever will I do?

middle_path

I would still like to see your counter argument to my post..

madmalloy

I try not to argue with trolls anymore. Sorry.

middle_path

Ok, then don't start arguments you can't back up with logic. Nice SJW tactic - calling anyone you disagree with a "troll".

madmalloy

<snort> I will admit you're funny in your stupidity. Good job!

edistojim

Thanks for that, I came in on the tail of this thing. Delete the spam and the obvious bullshit, leave the rest. Differing opinions and those that don't like YOUR opinion is what totally fucked up Reddit, any mention of going the same direction is insanity.

carlip

Let's just delete the "subreddit" and have a lottery drawing for 3-way split ownership positions of the new subverse should people be interested.

middle_path

Or some fed up soul could just make his own subverse and he could be the mod. I don't see why subs need multiple mods unless they need a css guy.

dooob

More mods=bigger chance some of those mods sell their account and be compromised. Fuk dat shit.

madmalloy

Let's not.

middle_path

Why?

cmor88

I'm not a really a local here.. What was rule 2?

rocket_robin_hood

"Rule 2: No overt attacks on people's race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or creed". People saying that this is his rule are talking out their asses, the rule was in place since 2015, before he became mod here. Before this shit storm started he barely removed anything from this sub, so these accusations of blatant censorship are also coming out of peoples asses.

cmor88

Anyone that can't take an insult here or there is on the wrong site.

rocket_robin_hood

I agree with that, but theirs a line they crossed when they spammed their insults, and inundated v/conspiracy with trash.

KingoftheMolePeople

It is a non system sub and they can have any rules they wish. You and I may find it ridiculous, but the Conspiracy community had no problems w it.

cmor88

I never said that the rule couldn't exist. I said it SHOULDN'T exist. If the community didn't have a problem with it, why was it removed? Why is no one displeased with its removal? Every comment I've read so far in this topic has been either positive or neutral.

rocket_robin_hood

I'm displeased with its removal, but not for the reasons you would imagine. The way I see it, this has been a rule since forever, and I havent seen it cause much controversy until some people from v/protectvoat came here screaming about censorship and a mod abusing his powers, and posted these lies all over voat riling up all the shit flies, causing the immense shit swarm that happened, and might still be happening.

I would have preferred to see the v/conspiracy community taking care of its own rules, and not have people from other subs coming here for a trolling campaign and having their way trying to get the rules and leadership changed all at once.

middle_path

Rule 2 was no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.

cmor88

That sounds alot like a rule that never should have existed here..

RUSTYMILL

Fuck kikes

The moderation logs are quite telling, delete anything that you don't like, right?

White-Supremacist

I agree that those banned under the rule should be unbanned, but unmod that person, give it to someone else, they are a faggoty jew cunt.

dooob

Mod did the right thing, keep an eye on mod logs for the next couple of days.

White-Supremacist

The right thing is to unmod them.

clamhurt_legbeard

No, mod has partially undone some of the many wrong things he already did.

Anybody banned because they hurt his feelings must be unbanned immediately .

dooob

I stand corrected, you are right.

I believe in forgiveness, although only once. If he follows through, i dont mind with him staying.
