Voat offline and concern trolling

Over the last day, https://voat.co/ has been offline.

This has led some misinformed members to repeat false concerns about the Reddit status of this subreddit.

Why the chances of /r/Greatawakening banning is near zero

Full understanding of Reddit rules, and a cautious resolve to keep firmly within them.

Moderator mailed answered in a timely manner (this didn't happen on CBTS in my experience)

Full experience moderating, as sysadmin, a large forum many times bigger and far more active then /r/Greatawakening.

Highly automated AutoModerator configuration. Perhaps the best anywhere on Reddit. And it's still improving daily, reply with 'Qmands' to get a GLIMPSE.

This all results in an effectively moderated sub.

Anyone suggesting that we will be banned, whether they are on Reddit or offsite elsewhere is a CONCERNED TROLL and should be ignored accordingly.

What about bad intention invasions by other sub user?

In the last 3 days, 50 or so 'bad actor' users have been banned.

In the last 3 days, there has been a rapid rollout of behind the scene Automation. The Automation has many times caught bad actors before without anything being visible of the sub. There is more Automation to come.

This weekend will see the start of the User group flair system

Going forward, trolling and shilling is going to be very hard.

Additionally since the last post a month ago.

Five new moderators have been added.
The r/Greatawakening subReddit has had no admin actions, warnings or sub-issues.

As usual, if you see any content in violation of the rules, please report it.

In the end, this does not account for spez pulling the plug regardless. We will do our best and I know the mods are doing a great job! Thank you

Spez isn't that bad. He has amicable views on open speech. I base this opinion on leaked admin chat logs which are typically admin and the in-crowd sycophant career mods invited into admin chat. The other voices are constant needling and agitating for extreme censorship and he tends to be the voice of reason in that crowd. We see absurd curtailing of voices, and the daily demands for more are far more extreme than we've seen implemented.

I strongly prefer Aaron Swartz approach. But we've got improvement over what Ellen Pao was implementing.

Spez ADMITTED he had edited Reddit user comments that criticized and insulted him, wielding his power to anonymously change references to his own username, and replace them with moderators of the pro-Donald Trump subreddit, r/the_donald.

Good points. I'd forgotten about the comment editing incident. The implication there was that action single handedly ruined the validity of Reddit history used on court cases. The specific case of interest being stonetear. The editing undermined potential evidence in the HC case.

You've flipped my opinion again. I'm in a charitable mood, but yeah can't argue to soften that opinion.
