content: [META] Sidebar edits, advertising sub, CSS and rule 2 Hi Goats,   Sidebar: First of all, I'd like to let you know that I've removed the following: Message here or here to report rule violations. Cosmic isn't active anymore, and there's a working report function now, so this is unnecessary. The report spam function is now working and will alert moderators to the comment in question. This is over a year old. Pretty sure everyone knows this now Deleted comments can be viewed here I originally added this because voat didn't automatically put a link to the modlog in each sub. Since then, they've added automatic links (you can see them here) and they changed the URL, so the old link is broken and there's not much point in keeping it around. That said, if anyone thinks there needs to be a duplicate link in the sub description and the other one is too hard to find, I'd be happy to restore it with a working link. Also, if anyone has any links or information that they think belongs in the sidebar, let me know.   Advertising the Sub: As you all probably know, Putt made a post the other day warning us that voat was running low on resources and wasn't likely to stick around unless things changed. I donated €50 as soon as I saw it, and I plan on doing so as often as I can. It occurred to me that rather than buying shiny badges for my profile, maybe I'd be better off buying ads for this sub (and maybe some of the other ones I look after). If you have any ideas for banners, please post them below.   CSS: When I was originally modded I offered to do two things, delete spam and make some CSS. I haven't seen Mandhood101 around in a long time, so I'm calling that one a success, but I never got around to making the place look nicer. On that basis, I'm going to test some stuff out over the next month and see how it ends up looking. If anyone has any ideas, or wants to help out, please comment below. Keep in mind, I know shite all about CSS, I'll be working off one of the existing layouts other people have made, so if anyone actually knows what they're doing and would be willing to help, please speak up.   Rule 2: My policy on enforcing the rules is... I enforce all of the rules as they're written I try to err on the side of not deleting something if it's borderline I don't add, remove or change the rules without the consent of the community. The only rule I've had to enforce in a long time has been Rule 2: Don't advocate violence. There was one post which was dox and violence, but other than that it's been all pure rule 2. Almost every time I delete something under rule 2 I get angry PMs demanding that I restore the post (just FYI, I can't do this even if I wanted to: Voat doesn't have the functionality yet). Because of this a few months ago I made a sticky asking the community if they wanted to keep rule2 or remove it. Very few responded, and the ones who did were mostly neutral or positive about the rule, so I decided to let it stay. Earlier today I deleted two comments by a user named beatlejuiceX3. Suffice to say, whoever controls the account reacted badly and some of you may have seen the spam posts they made about it. There have also been quite a few dodgy PMs. I don't really care about this, sticks and stones etc. but along the way a few people mentioned they think it's a bad rule, so in around a month's time I'll make another sticky to see if people want it gone, or to change it. This time I'll post a link to the conversation in every post made on /v/mensrights to ensure more people get to see it. Since it's a low traffic sub, members tend to look at what shows up in their feed rather than visiting the sub itself which means they probably won't see stickies.   Anyhow, that's just a few things I wanted to bring up. If you have anything else you'd like to ask/discuss, post it below or send me a PM.
