Voat is down and it's scaring me because Putt was being evasive about donations. What are you allowed to do here? Would feel more comfortable coming over here than reddit.

Avoid illegal activity, racist bullshit, similar stuff that you can't do in the US. Generally people try not to be a dick. Common sense, pretend you're in public and don't be the naked drunk asshole.

I'm not totally sure about the official rules, but the first point would be the biggest. Check the "ToS" link at the bottom of the page.

EDIT: Just in case, ToS stands for "Terms of Service"

Basically what voat used to be.

racist bullshit

Yeah... Voat wasn't too big on avoiding racist comments. Pointing out facts can be considered racism now a days.

Being kicked out of a business for loitering, hell; that's a national debacle!

We basically live by the "don't be a dick" rule. We tend to warn multiple times if you're being annoying, breaking a rule, or spamming. Illegal stuff gets logged and removed. We have a few admin tools for detecting vote manipulation and sockpuppet accounts. Part of our hosting package requires us to be pro-active, so we are. Multiple admins browse the site daily and all subs have a log and the site has a master log that shows all admin actions, subs created, mods editing sub settings, and so on.. No hidden actions, rule changes, or removals.

As far as monies is concerned, here I'm the guy. We have a full report in the works, I just filed our taxes for last year, so we're good for a bit and all legit. I also handle our canary and legals, all good too.

New here and I had a subverse where I was doing a step by step of making what is called an 80% lower for an AR15. Seeing as many platforms like this are going away from content with firearms is that kind of content welcome here?

Seems like Voat may be down for good. Haven't seen puttitout in quite some time myself. I see your rules and of course this is your house, and I can respect that.

Posting content of any kind that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards one person or a group of people because of their belonging to a race, religion or nation is strictly prohibited.

That's the big one.

Unless it's against white people I'm sure.

You're so frazzled and you just barely got here. How can someone act so sure about something if they truly honestly have no idea what they're talking about? You're just spewing conjecture at this point.

You are 100% correct. I'm projecting my past experience, and that isn't fair; solid point.

Yeah....looks like we're gonna have to stop naming the *** for a while

Pretty much obey US law. There are a couple other rules that are required by the hosting service, but nothing major. It's all in the tos.
Unlike Voat, the admins communicate and are open about what they do.

No shady games.
