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

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.

And as an extension of that, mods should not be culpable if they don't ban someone for rule violations that occurred outside of the sub they mod. This ain't reddit.
