Just like if you buy 1 cup of coffee you apparently can shoot heroin and smear feces within the Starbucks stores all day every day. Nobody is allowed to do anything about it because otherwise you're "responding to bait" or "feeding the trolls".

I speak for myself, but I'd like to think the sentiment is shared by others here.

Not a perfect analogy because I like Poal and I don't like Starbucks, but it makes sense to me.

Sucks to be one of those poor saps trying to enjoy the rest of the coffee shop... or the rest of the website. But hey, as long as your niche sub stays above the fray and squeaky clean, ignore the rest of the site.

obvious sarcasm is obvious

Maybe it's similar to when a certain user enters the site and demands another user be removed for TOS violations that occured somewhere else. Should the admins have some culpability for not enforcing their rules even when the alleged violation occurs outside of their purview?

If they're going to start banning for offenses that occured elsewhere, they're going to need to be banning the user in question. He's not in the slightest bit innocent, I've got documentation of two actual doxxes and 2 attempted doxxings. Still want to go with this?

My point is that the admins have been asked to ban a user for alleged TOS violations committed off the site. They refused to do this, which I think was appropriate.

As do I. None of the key players screeching from Voat are innocent. Both sides were gleefully doxxing each other. If they ban one of the players, they need to ban them all.

I disagree with this. The admins here are not responsible for users actions on other sites.

Then by extension if you're a mod on some sub here should you be responsible for banning a user who behaves badly outside of the sub you mod?

From my understanding and correct me if I am wrong mods are only able to moderate their own subs.
