I've reached out to users @lord_nougat and @SparklingWiggle and asked if they are interested. Both seem like good intelligent goats, but I'd like to get confirmation from the community. The position won't be as involved or have the same tools/authority Cynabuns had, but they'll still be able to help out members of the community if they choose. Their main purpose is peace of mind for myself, so I can step away when needed without having to feel the need to check up on things constantly. Do you approve of these users as mods here? If not, why? Only serious replies will be taken into consideration.
Edit: Welcome a board @lord_nougat and @SparklingWiggle. They don't have mod powers yet, but at some point this weekend it will be official. Thank you all for your feedback. I know loading of big threads like this takes a long time. This months I have to renew domains, etc. so I am going to invest some time into improvements, I will see what I can do.
something should be done about /v/14words, leafa keeps it active but users are banned from it by that faggot texasvet and can't post/comment, he abandoned the site 4 months ago.
If community complains, listen to them, and make your mods accountable. Obviously not for every complaint because lets face it... jewsbadnews and dial are still around and will comaplain like faggots all day long.
Is good you reach out, but in the end you make your decision. We will manage with or without them.
I like both of these users, but my complaint has nothing to do with your choice of mods.
Many of us got burned by completely corrupt and dishonest moderation at Poal. I think there needs to be an appeal procedure established for any ban actions. AOU would go on an emotional bender and ban like crazy without consequence. If someone wants to argue that this is the owner's prerogative, I'd agree that it is. But at the same time, and in terms of the health of a community over time, there needs to be a way to balance the mod power with each individual's 'day in court'. In the end, choices do come down to site ownership, but that should be after some kind of deliberative process that is transparent to the community as a whole.
It's any owner's privilege to be a tyrant if they want to be. I'm saying this only based on observations gathered from being at ye olde Voat, Poal, and now here.
@system should be able to rely on having some help from users he trusts. The danger comes only when mod behavior can possibly go unchecked. It can turn an otherwise decent person into an asshole.
So I'd just propose that at the same time as you install mods, you also lay out a policy for people to publicly appeal their ban, say, starting a thread where that person can respond to not only mods but commentary from other community members and basically plead their case. After all is said and done, and the community gives a 'jury recommendation', then the final authoritative choice rests on mods and admin.
This would also require that the community as a whole recognizes that (a) they have the same privilege to their day in court, (b) they will have a voice that will be acknowledged in the process, and (c) you don't get to throw a fit when the process is over and mods/admin don't decide the way you think they ought to. The point is transparency, so that it will be obvious over time if mods are acting in the interests of the community or not - and you'll know by how many people jump ship or remain on board.
I'm not sure that there is any option, in principle, that isn't exploitable. I would be interested to know what you had in mind though.
I doubt if what I'm suggesting would require many resources. Say that a mod suggests a ban. We create a sticky post on front where the mod/admin can state the situation and the reason why the ban is commencing. People in the community are able to comment and give their two cents. The person to-be-banned is able to respond, and possibly based on their conduct convince the mod/s against the ban.
It's really quite informal. The point, again, is not to turn this into some flat democracy (that's got its weaknesses, right) but to simply make the decision-making transparent, so that community members know the details. One major problem at Poal was how AOU would ghost all of the information. Total lack of transparency. He would come back and slander a person for being a pedophile without that individual's ability to get a word in on their own behalf. At least this way, people can decide if they think the ban is shit and then make a decision about how they continue to use the site accordingly.
So a mod approaches @system with the intent to ban. They create a sticky and set a time limit. The thread will be up for a day, or something. At the end of the day, mods read (or have been following) the progress of the thread and they make their decision. No deleted comments. Nobody failing to be heard. I think this would be good - IF modding is where we are headed. Everybody potentially gets to be Socrates before they're nixed.
Now, it might be even better to just have a whole sub devoted to these kinds of posts. Because not every ban is going to require this sort of deliberation. Some bot account is going to get offed; the Judge Judy sub just becomes more like a ban log for those kinds of entries. You'll naturally know there was no controversy because nobody will participate in those threads. But on occasion there may be a more controversial ban, and that post in the sub will generate a lot more activity. Seems like this could keep mods more accountable.
Mods and admins for a supposed "free speech" site need to follow the rules, not be run by their emotions or care for the "community". @SparklingWiggle supported(1) your first banning of ALS by the same emotional argument, even though ALS broke no rules. Of course you selected him. Whatever, this is a faux "free speech" site.
That's what block is for. The same people that give AOU at Poal shit for the same behavior then cheer on when it happens here because system/The_Venerable is too thin skinned and abused his admin powers.
This may work against him, but I have a very high opinion of sparkle. Nougat has not pissed me off in particular that I can recall, so no objections there.
If I can dredge up old wounds for a moment, I liked cynabuns. She was so great at managing the Kyle trial. Anyway Im just a hole so disregard this entire comment, it can’t possibly be serious.
Thanks. I just got taken off the candidate lost after you commented. Yeah, it's a shame @Cynabuns backed away so far. She did a lot and I wish she had stayed engaged as much as she was. I noticed a few others stepped away as well. I suck at names, but the one who posted nature pics vanished.
Yeah, I don't quite grasp how it affected people. I saw how Poal directly screwed with people by changing points, adding labels, and banning people. Those are things that affect one's experience directly and shapes the culture. I've not seen that here and they left seemjngly because there wasn't as much control as they wanted. It's a shame.
Its a place for anyone to toss up their videos.Placing a video there dosnt magically change its quality and you should know that without it being said. if you however wish to say tiktok is full of terrible videos thats something unrelated to my comment.
/v/QPatriots viewpost?postid=61f1dbafba782
Nothing wrong with tiktok vids if they are good. This one cost me a few seconds I want back though.
Point to where it says I like videos because they are tiktok videos. Go ahead. While youre at it ask yourself if someone places a video you already like onto tiktok if that means you like tiktoks.

Is that so, why don't you tell me what hav I lied about since you are throwing such an accusation?
@oldblo - advise, you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. But hey, let's give this guy a chance to elaborate on such an accusation to see if he can bring evidence of the matter.
That's like saying the best parent is the one that never spanked. It is needed for some kids, though. The best parent is the one who only spanked 1-3 times.
Disagree with the first. Agree with the second. The second would be my intent for a mod if there were to be any. Aside from spam, doxxing, stalking, and chronic harassment I would prefer the mods mind themselves.
Have had a few arguments with sparky but he admitted when something was misunderstood so that's alright with me. Nougat is a California faggot but seems like an OK guy
No mod should have the power to ban. There has been too many bans on this site as it is, speaking of which do you have a list of all banned users it would be nice to have that.
They should have an extremely limited role of being able to temporarily put an account in timeout until YOU personally are available to make a decision. As well as a limited role to temporarily censor or remove a post/ comment if it violates the TOS. They should have no actual power at all, only delegation of tasks that we don't want on the front page until you show up.
I would have chosen @heygeorge and @Rotteuxx or other members of former /Protectvoat who contributed to gathering information on problem users. Those who have voiced concern for mod abuse and ban abuse, upholding the values of Voat being the last place for free discourse of ideas.
In that event i think the two you've selected will do the job just fine. Thank you for making the ban list public as i want to laugh at Dial. Hopefully he sees some of my name suggestions in /v/dialaltnamesuggestions
As much as my opinion even matters,I've had convoes,with each of them,they seem like fair Gents and would make every attempt to be fair & just with the user base at-large. Good choices.
Lord_Faggot seems to be a fake SBBH-tier user who never says anything meaningful, just lighthearted waiter-style banter. His replies in this post related. That was only ever how they talked, like tweens at a water cooler. I haven't looked through his history or anything, that is just the impression I get.
[ - ] breh 1 point 3.3 yearsJan 28, 2022 13:09:54 ago (+1/-0)
Ya, like that, good example. It just strikes me funny how on one of the only places on the internet a person can be truly honest, without fear of censorship, you never are honest, that I have seen. Something about you just seems to not be genuine, with all the canned, "zany" responses.
you see (((Drstrangegov))) trying to subvert, getting mass ratio'd? this is the voat immune system at work, even if the shills do use alt accounts to upvote some of their content, as long as the community remains vigil to their subversion modding wouldn't be a necessary thing
The shills would definitely be trembling if i had power
there was probably a concerted effort to bury my comment to an almost equal amount (had the same experience in oldvoat whenever i criticized mr jew jew cum)
i'm sure glad as hell we got rid of the Qtards, the sole comfort of voat.xyz though i've noticed more and more poal-smokers trying their hand to first gain the community's trust and then push for retarded obvious shit like "jews are totally white!" (coughTrumpman1488cough)
As long as they are limited in some capacity and can't take over, and won't be aggressive power mod douche lords, holding true to the spirit of what this site is about (niggerfaggots discussing the JQ and other relevant current events), then I don't see why not. Hopefully they have a similar style to system, the "hands off unless it's egregious" approach.
By cancer, do you mean jews? Both are ultimately self serving parasites that infiltrate, subvert, and silently replicate without regard to the host population's health. Diverting resources for their own growth, and slowly leeching off the host until death.
Everyone should have learned long ago how forums get stolen by new mods that were so nice until they were modded. All you can do is see how it goes, but they both seem like not maniacal lunatics, so that's a plus for mods.
Sparkling wiggle is an unhinged schizo and POS, an agitator and complete lunatic. I wouldn't let him be in charge of organising a box of tangled string.
What criteria are you basing this on?
lord_nougat seems diplomatic and would be a good fit.
I've been keeping my eye open for people I think would be good. Sparkle and I spoke previously about it, and he's reached out to me numerous times about various stuff. Nougat just seemed like the quintessential goat and a good guy who I think would be good fit. Obviously I wouldn't let anyone come in and be a tyrant, that just goes against everything I stand for. We'll see how it goes.

They should have an extremely limited role of being able to temporarily put an account in timeout until YOU personally are available to make a decision. As well as a limited role to temporarily censor or remove a post/ comment if it violates the TOS. They should have no actual power at all, only delegation of tasks that we don't want on the front page until you show up.
I would have chosen @heygeorge and @Rotteuxx or other members of former /Protectvoat who contributed to gathering information on problem users. Those who have voiced concern for mod abuse and ban abuse, upholding the values of Voat being the last place for free discourse of ideas.

though incase you want to see kikes, drama and D&C silding shills gone
give me a hammer and i'll get it done (with evidence of their crimes)
though to be honest i think shaming them would be a more effective tactic overall
look at this thread
https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=61e0799351c55
you see (((Drstrangegov))) trying to subvert, getting mass ratio'd?
this is the voat immune system at work, even if the shills do use alt accounts to upvote some of their content, as long as the community remains vigil to their subversion modding wouldn't be a necessary thing

there was probably a concerted effort to bury my comment to an almost equal amount (had the same experience in oldvoat whenever i criticized mr jew jew cum)
i'm sure glad as hell we got rid of the Qtards, the sole comfort of voat.xyz
though i've noticed more and more poal-smokers trying their hand to first gain the community's trust and then push for retarded obvious shit like "jews are totally white!" (coughTrumpman1488cough)

Everyone should have learned long ago how forums get stolen by new mods that were so nice until they were modded. All you can do is see how it goes, but they both seem like not maniacal lunatics, so that's a plus for mods.

I've been keeping my eye open for people I think would be good. Sparkle and I spoke previously about it, and he's reached out to me numerous times about various stuff. Nougat just seemed like the quintessential goat and a good guy who I think would be good fit. Obviously I wouldn't let anyone come in and be a tyrant, that just goes against everything I stand for. We'll see how it goes.
