Does anyone want to provide an elevator summary of the front page drama?

and (possibly the same shill) have an axe to grind for some perceived slight (actually the Poal algorithm zeroing out their votes once they brigade another user repeatedly... they hit themselves) with the Poal admins, and they get told over and over and over and over day after day after day after day exactly why things are the way they are here, but they never tire of dividing Poal by their pilpul.

edit: you can see by the downvotes I attract that the butt-hurt is still very real
edit2: the shills retracted their downvotes, kekekek

You forgot to include this began with TOO and pals demanding that the admins deplatform webofslime for actions he took on Voat. Eventually TOO triggered the algorithm by downvoting WOS too much and starting crying about being censored. We mocked him for that. After loosing his tag last time, he tried regaining "cred" by bringing out the pedo lynching cards and pretending he was doing it for Poal. He was none too happy about myself and others calling him out on his shit and rewarded himself with the tag again. Hence the current drama ensued.

Of course. Thanks for the additional background. Didn't know for sure how much the Professor knew or how far back he wanted a summary.

I appreciate the additional information from both of you.

poal admin keeps punishing users for voting how they want.

they started doing this to shut me down, for calling out the piece of shit webofslime, for the fact he's a dirty, lying, spamming doxxer

your "safety guard" is shutting down "vote brigading", but you're striking legit votes and quarrels and legit users, then going "mah algorithms", when its super fucking clear poal admin runs those same algorithms

"mah algorithms"

bullshit, someone wrote those algorithms and knows the off switch location, and keeps it running willingly. poal admin has some weird fucking boner for toying with their userbase, and preventing certain talk and voting.

In summary, to quote Home Alone:

There are 15 people in this house and you're the only one who has to make trouble!

Are we really up to 15 now? And here I thought it was just me and you...

poal admin apparently thinks otherwise

I don't like how this place operates. It should conform to my interests and direction.

Spoken just like Reddit. Welcome, Reddit. Good luck.

poal admin is suppressing user votes and users that they seem to dislike happening, and blaming it on the algorithm they have 100% control over.

in reality they know damn well the site would run fine with it turned off but they seem to have some sort of control boner where they don't believe users are free to vote as they please.

What about the use of an algorithm bothers you?

Well, to be perfectly honest, I think he's a lying piece of shit and uses the environment to line his and his buddies pockets.

they accused me of "vote brigading"

what actually happened was i just didnt like the bastard and so i voted accordingly

that got punished, apparently they hate even 1:1 feuds from happening because they see anything like that as brigading.

i think their real reasoning was that they just happen to know and talk to them IE the guy is their friend and suddenly when i dislike him the system turns on me?

smells like glownigger.

i think that either 2-faced treatment is being applied, or the algorithm needs to go.

I'm sorry you can't vote brigade as you're used to.

Poal admins today have stripped my account of over 500 score to 0.

This is what they call "muh free speech".

Very telling. Very reddit tier.

This is how they convince people they are all about "muh free speech"?

I gotta say, it's not very convincing.

Was there a reason given?

He's been giving out downvotes like tossing candy at a parade. The algorithm automatically stops that shit once you hit a certain threshold.

I'm going to have to read the TOS, aren't I?

[–] • 5 pts

We have an algorithm that does that if people get a little too eager with downvotes, as Dub said. I'm pretty sure this isn't his first time. The_ old_ ones had this happen twice now.

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Nope.

[–] • 3 pts

Your account was tripped to zero and no reason was given? I find that difficult to believe. None whatsoever?

[–] [deleted] • 5 pts

No! Not the internet points!

I mean... how are you supposed to buy food? To pay your rent? To keep paying for internet access?!

Oh... oh, no, wait, I'm being told one uses money for that.

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

Yes they'll die from shame and low self esteem without their points, it's a sad way to go.

Well, it's possible the JIDF pays a set amount of shekels per internet point earned while shilling for them. Seems like a fair compensation deal.
