Ok, I get it. Sorry for being slow, didn't know which message you were referring to.
Yes I deleted that screenshot for purely selfish reasons. No "rule" basis, nothing to do with doxing. I just don't want it falling into the wrong hands atm. You're perfectly entitled to post it, but I'd ask you as a favour not to. If you do, I'll probably delete it again. Can't justify it other than to say I'm in enough shit already and that post could cause me more.
That is not a favor, that is a threat. This is precisely why we think your moving the goal posts is selfishly motivated. You've shown your hand, we know what you hold.
What difference does it make at this point? You've already pissed away your entire life, you turned on the last remnants of the greatest free speech website around, and now you're resorting to censorship. It boils down to this:
Did you act honorably? Or did you act in your own self interest?
You admitted you'll scuttle this site for your own petty reasons, and those reasons were protecting the pedophile. This is not consistent with your demeanor thus far, it's rather abrupt. This indicates something happened and you were forced to act quickly. Now you're saying you're "in enough shit already" yet you're allowing the pedophile to roam free? Even protecting him from trolls (of which he's no stranger to dishing out himself) and your allegiance is now publicly visible.
So yes - I am forced to compare it to your confession in which you said your wife accused you of abusing your boys. So protecting the pedophile is a priority, but not upholding the free speech model that was the very essence of Voat, which is why you still have a userbase (or had). You're taking unfair shots at the userbase, threats of blanket bans of anyone that breaks your self interpreted rule, a very emotionally charged vow to make sure they "never come back again", and you're willing to shoah your entire site for it? Yeah, no. That doesn't pass any smell test. It's quite evident you've pulled some dirty shit in the past and you're deathly afraid it'll catch up to you even on here.
Your priorities are fucked. There's no denying that. But I come from a background of "get to the truth" because where there's smoke, there's fire. And you are NOT looking good right now. I will say this, you have demons in your closet trying to get out. It would behoove you to just go the way you went before and let this shit go, because karma can be a bitch as we've seen. BUT - after what you did, and are doing, it's too late. So you might as well pull a full on "system" and ban dissenters. Ban anyone that "insults" or "accuses" you of anything you don't like. But I will say this - despite his pissing away 75% of authentic users, you STILL don't have half the userbase fake voat does. What you had was small but authentic, it was bullet proof. Free speech sides with truth, and no enemy of ours could ever penetrate it. Until now - betrayal from within. No standing army can withstand treason.
If this site had a canary it's long dead. I think you know you're a piece of shit, you just can't hide it anymore and you're trying to snuff out any threats of it going public here - in your "one reason to go on". Welp, looks like we see just how valuable this really was to you.
