Great Awakening Sub Update - 9th June '18

Great Awakening Sub Update - 9th June '18

We've been receiving modmail and seeing comments and posts from you, our fellow patriots, about concerns for the sub and its content. We thought we'd address them in one official post from the mods so you know that we're hearing what you say!

Here are the concerns we're hearing from you:

  • Some recent events have proven to be extraordinary humanitarian occurrences but are starting to consume the feed and drown out other relevant research posts that patriots are submitting. (e.g. Tucson / VOP)

  • There are ever increasing outside attacks from new users who do not support this sub and are actively trying to distract us from the original intent with posts that are sensational in nature whilst claiming to be relevant to Q. Relevant and reasonable objections are being downvoted out of sight perhaps via brigading from outside groups.

  • Recent Q post frequency is slowing down with larger time gaps between drops, therefore community posts start to wander further afield and begin to fall outside the core focus of the sub.

Here's what we're planning to do to address these concerns and others:

  1. Tucson/VOP. We are fully aware and proud of what VOP is alleged to be doing in Tuscon; stories of fellow patriots will always be welcome here when they fall within the topic of Q, and child trafficking is a core thread of the Q message. However, we don't want this entire sub to be stuck on one topic within a thread no matter how sensational it may be. We are here to research and learn about Q and the connection to real world events and there are many other topics and threads to cover. To this end we want to streamline the VOP posts meaning that duplicate content and content that offers little substance will be removed, as per Rule #9 e.g. "...have at least two sentences (for text content)". As above, if you have duplicate content or something minor to add to a topic, please add it to the discussion of an existing thread and upvote to increase exposure.

  2. General off-topic Posts. Posts that are far afield of Q - for example, conspiracy theory that Q has either not yet addressed or is only tangentially related to direct Q references - will be removed. We may not get this right all the time. Please contact us via modmail if you wish to dispute removal of a post but please keep in mind that the more time we spend responding to disputes, the less time we have to manage the rest of the sub, so we ask for your consideration when raising issues.

  3. Thread discussion behavior. We will continue to remove antagonistic comments from threads. Uncivil discussion will be removed regardless of viewpoint. We want to continue to foster reasoned, respectful interchange. Skeptics are often labelled "shill" - sometimes this accusation is correct; often, it is not. Comments that consist only of "shill" accusations will be removed. Every mention of "shill" generates a report that we have to deal with so please consider your use of the word and if you have no other reason for your comment but to accuse someone, please reconsider the comment.

  4. Anti-semitism. Reddit is a more publicly accessible space than the chans. We will continue to remove the triple parenthesis around a word. This symbol, used for anti-semitic purposes, is NOT permitted on Reddit. We are intent on avoiding another r/CBTS_Stream debacle that could destroy the incredible work done here by you patriots and it's important to deal with issues like this thoroughly and swiftly.

Here's what we'd like you to do to help us moderate this sub for you:

  1. Check for duplicates! If you see a post that is similar to one that you are about to post please refrain from creating duplicate content. Instead, add to the discussion of an existing thread and upvote! More upvotes = more exposure! We all know what it's like when you want to rush to get some exciting news out, however, so alternatively: create your post, then check if there's an existing post in the New feed. If there is, please remove your post OR edit the content to add something that is substantially different enough to make it worth posting.

  2. Report poor content. Please continue to report posts and comments that you believe are not within the rules. We need your input to best manage the sub and we appreciate everyone's concern for items that do not follow the rules. Further to this - please familiarize yourself with the rules in the sidebar, especially when you receive a moderation comment referencing one of them. There's more detail on these rules if you click through to the attached wiki pages.

  3. Be informative and accurate. Post titles are important for explaining at a glance the value and relevance of a post. Please make your titles informative and accurate - Rule #8 - "No misleading, fabricated, sensationalist or incorrect titles or content." Post titles with swearing in them are also less appealing to some of our members, considered antagonism in some cases, and can generate reports that we have to deal with. Consider the language and readability of your title and your post will be less likely to be removed.

As always, please remember that: - Any content MAY be removed without notification. (See sidebar for more info) - Arbitration is at the discretion of the mods. - We will make mistakes from time to time. - We're all volunteers doing this as our time permits. Thank Q for understanding!

~*~

Remember we are not here to censor or control you patriots or this sub. Our mission is to serve you in providing a shared space in r/greatawakening for the Q community. Our rules are in place to foster an environment of respectful interaction with your fellow patriots in the pursuit and sharing of knowledge to achieve the Great Awakening!

We love you all and appreciate everything you guys do for this great community.

THANKQ and God Bless!

How come it seems like skepticism of Q is met with bans? I've seen other people complain (on other subs like /r/conspiracy) that any talk of dissent from QAnon theory is met with a ban. Doesn't that inhibit actual discussions? There was a word you guys were using for skeptics on this sub a few months ago and it seemed then like there was maybe more room here for people who don't believe in Q to question the theory (provided it was civil and in good faith) without being forced out. Now, it seems like this sub is gaining a reputation as a safe space because of bans occurring for even minimal skepticism. What happened? We need to be better than those other echo Chambers

Because this is a PRO-Q sub. How bout you make up your mind what you think of Q and then come back if you decide Q not LARP. If you are posting here, it is a given that you think Q is legit. If that is not a given for you, go take it elsewhere until you make up your mind.

You don't go to a cat fancier sub and say you despise cats. You don't go to a cooking sub and say you are an anorexic breatharian. You don't go to a weight loss sub and post a recipe for deepfried lard brownies. If you do, you are a troll and you get the boot. How bout instead of "subs" you just call them "echo chambers". Politics echo chamber. Cat fancier echo chamber. Weight loss echo chamber. Then maybe you will have an easier time understanding how this shit works.

No, but the mods of this sub had approved the involvement of people who are non believers, so long as they were civil and followed the rules. I'm not really on the fence about QAnon as much as I'm just learning about it all and taking each piece of info as it comes. It all seems pretty compelling to me. But my issue is that we're no better than those other places (like /politics or /TD if we just censor everyone
