voatfaga non grata I'm Almost Finished With Poal

I understand you want to weed out accounts, but this is BS and your hoops will reduce users and create even more of an echo chamber than has already happened.

I'm an old Voat refuge who hasn't been very active. I don't have alot to share, but chime in occasionally and I'm not the Reddit type of moron who wants to voice my opinion just to hear it. These new hoops to jump through are F'ing stupid.

I can't comment without making an introduction. I do so (https://poal.co/s/Introductions/662116) and label it nsfw because of language. Then I still can't comment to tell someone what to kill their sumac weeds with because I haven't actively participated in my introductory discussion that I can't even see becuse it's nsfw.

If the 30 top users want their personal site then just get rid of our logins.

Edit: The question. Why?

Requiring lightly used sleeper accounts to re-introduce themselves is an AWESOME idea! Thank you for your proactive and creative solutions!

Please keep the NSFW blocking. Personally I wouldn't be upset if poal were to make the blocking stricter given the upcoming american election cycle.

I agree. A low-level account that's been dormant for a year? That's not necessarily suspicious, people come and go, but an introduction shouldn't be a problem if you want to join the community.

I love the kvetching, personally. The NSFW tags here don't hide the fundamental truths of the universe, so new accounts whining about it are amusing.

The whining seems suspicious to me.

Forcing suspicious posters to perform CAPTCHA's before publishing a post wouldn't be unwelcome either.

That's a good idea. Maybe post it to ideasforpoal if you want.
