The SearchVoat Forum

My firm commitment is to allow all US-legal speech here.

Motivated by my desire to preserve the site as a free speech bastion, I implemented NSFW (somewhat like Voat). If some random follows a link here and sees "I hate niggers" they may decide we deserve to be attacked - via DDOS or subversion or pile-on or however - and I would prefer not to have to apply time, resources and motivation to dealing with that.

Obviously it would be great to ignore that risk and just speak freely to the world. But there are practical considerations. Seemed like a no-brainer.

Then I was surprised to see opposition to the categorization of so-called "offensive" material here as NSFW. (I use "offensive" in quotes because obviously we're not all "offended" by the same things.)

This isn't a democracy, I can't promise to be bound by the votes here, but I do want to hear the arguments and encourage the debate.

Don't bullshit users.
Let them chose which subverses they like to see and which they like to hide.
This poll you should have before implementing radical changes. Only ADMIN can decide what new users can see!!!
Too late! Undo shit you did or you will see nothing but admin sucking Jewish cock memes. This will be fun RIDE! Soon you will be nothing but laughing stock.
CENSORSHIP SUCKS!

This is a good point. Visitors, search engines see vanilla subs. Registered users can choose. Makes good sense to me.

Sure, destroy this place if you want. Then move on to the next one.

Agreed. Nothing (legal) censored here.

There is nothing to destroy. What did you build? Few subverses with 5-10 topics. Only thing we can do is to make fun of SearchVoat fag admin.
You would ask community first but... Tell me about "BUT" are you on power trip playing king and shiieet?
If you keep your NSFW policy this forum is fucked!!!! Even without this policy will take years to establish big local community.

You should care about updates and security only and consult about other shit with community.

Hopefully you learned something today and we all can go back to normal.

P.S. and stop replying with quoting every sentence like tmbrl faggot

Leave the tag. The last thing we want is to draw unwanted attention from the kikes and their supporters. I would rather have people seek us out than some random reddit tard stumble upon this place.
Plus, the NSFW tag on subverses like Jews and Niggers is a way to protect someone who may think to read it at work on an unsecure connection. I don't want anyone losing their jobs and having their families starve because they were caught at work reading a NSFW subverse.

Of course, the fat reddit-loving autistic fuckwits will start screaming but I wish to remind them that even in the early days of National Socialism, Uncle Adolf and the crew tried to keep a low profile UNTIL they built their power up. We are still in our infancy, I would rather be on the side of caution.

WOW! I don't know you, but YOU are one Major League Asshole!

Where the fuck do YOU come off spitting fire at a cat that took the time and initiative to throw this place together in response to the lack of notice we got that the venerable VOAT board was being shut down? Is this place perfect, CLOSE ENOUGH given the constraints the admin team was given.

What you see here, is potentially the rebirth of VOAT! This place will go through many changes and gyrations, there will be a forging process, where iron is heated and hammered into form to produce an end result! What IS essential at this point is NOT what the precursor to the reborn VOAT "looks" like, but, can we rebuild the sense of Community that VOAT had! If we rag-tag group of misfits can get the ball rolling, word will get out, and other GOATS will return!

In short, DON'T piss all over another mans efforts! @SearchVoat made his pitch, he opened the door for feedback, and HE, will do what makes sense for this project based on the feedback received, versus what has to be done operationally and logistically!

SteffisCute , you have just 9 random posts on old VOAT nothing to do with Joos sub, but you are running things around here.

If you say Antisemitism must be tagged NSFW please describe Antisemitism in your own words

THIS is SearchVoat alt 100%

Not OP, but problem with admit is that he is pissing with our efforts to make this place semi decent. When VOAT went down we had many alternatives some even created subs for us. We chose least popular with only few members.
Original hiddenlol.com hold posts only for 7 days and then is all gone with all comments. Don't question our commitment to this place just go and copy-paste links from dailycaller to your news sub.

This is like your first "damned if I do, damned if I don't" moment

I think there is no pleasing or avoidance for the subject of antisemitism or "offensive" speech. If a visitor comes to searchvoat.co/forum, he will eventually find antisemitic or "offensive" content by either login account or "misplaced" submissions to non-NSFW subverses. Users who disagree with NSFW being hidden from view can easily choose to workaround it by submitting to visible subverses. I think this would generally lead to much of our energy being spent on policing ourselves of what we could say in public.

I would personally like to see all legal content visible without login. The ones NSFW could be tagged w.r.t. each submission. For the viewing of NSFW content, it could even be a non-login setting option to toggle show/hide NSFW content.

This is your site, it is your burden to carry in regard to publicly viewable content... It will affect whether this place becomes a casual visit or a place to stay around. I think right now it makes very little difference, because our community is not big enough to attract attention. It is also small enough where lost Goats can find their way here.
