I hate this argument that you have anarchy unless someone looks over the herd. I don't have anything to respond with i just hate that this is what people are . Do we need a master to control the herd?
Nah, not a master per se ... I've just always visited sites like this with the thought that I'm a visitor here on someone else's dime, if ya get my drift. Their call and if I don't like it, I'm always free to move on (which I've done - LOL).
Now I could make the argument in either direction in this case ... both sides have good points, on this occasion though I choose the admin knowing he put a lot of thought into this and is clearly agonizing over the decision. As stated in the original post though, spam is almost impossible to define in many cases. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut.
i've always thought of it as a guardian or curator. they uphold an ideology instead of a set of rules. i thought voat was all about free speech. now i think i was wrong. let's see how poal treats me.
