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?

You lose your points but not your post and comment count.

That really doesn't seem low on his end, 12 posts and a few hundred comments for a 2 year member that has had an absence, I get the suspicion but if you've ever administered a web page or a forum you'll know about the 80/20 rule, 80% of activity comes from 20% of users, 80% of new posts or threads comes from 20% of that first 20%, those are power users. I might be in the top 20% of commenters and that means 80% of users should be commenting much less than me, when you go looking the other way from power users you start finding lurkers and those people are the majority of your websites visitors, I'd bet more than half the people who would say they visit poal every day and have been doing so for a year or more don't even have accounts.

If you had upvotes from users who then get banned, you lose the internet points that you got from them.

Correct, but as I keep saying, you don't lose your Post & Comment count That was my whole point, how many POSTS were made. I don't give a flying witches tit about the points.
