i burned my subs one by one and no-one noticed until i shutdown the near dead feminism joke sub. turns out a few 4chan guys like to hang out there and bugged the admins to open it back up. for the past year everything i submitted either sat at -5 for being ignored or 30/-15 for not being whatever voat is jerking off to at that moment.

I knew it had no place to go but down, but i had no idea how soon the bow would dive under like this.

Well fuck. I guess maybe we're all moving here now?

That's a good one!

No chance it'll go that way here. I'll fight for this place as long as I'm alive.

AOU and PMYB2 are pretty solid guys. With bad examoles like this, it gets easier ti stay the course.

I kept my Username in the switch, I can explain how the system works as far as I've been able to tell after talking with some insiders.

Essentially you get something like 10 stirkes, the system is focused on "inorganic voting patterns" and applies retroactively to your entire account history.

What that really means is hard to say but I know I wasn't running alts and most of the people I recognized who were banned, were banned for upvoting the same guy, he was banned for downvoting some other guy and a few people in that chain of causality got unbanned for no discernible reason, The guy I upvoted a whole bunch @ed me and mentioned my posts fairly often and I liked his posts and disliked this other guys posts really consistently because the guy @ing me was beating a retard into the ground with his own words.

For clarification @s and mentions notify a user and gives them a link to follow back to the source, it seems that doing that and then voting on the other-side of that link is a sin in the admins eyes, but I never got a warning.

The thing Is plenty of people who do run alts and do exactly the same shit I just described haven't been banned because they have been ingratiating themselves with the admin.

I know this is Voat drama but the bulk of the bans that I know are erroneous involve a problem user on voat called theoldones, it looks like his entire enemies list got banned, we know he's been gas lighting the admin about us and saying we co-ordianted downvote brigades on him, in reality we use pings in the same way he did to notify one another so we could share the posts calling him out and warn others that he was beginning a new round of witch hunts and power tripping. The bans I recognize, ~7, all centered around him picking fights with users and saying retarded shit for a dozen replies and harassing users with pings and accusing them of being bots and pedos for criticizing or correcting him, obviously if someone did that to you you would downvote them whenever you saw their username for the rest of time, and it seems that condition of this purge was massaged into the admins thick skull by him.

That user makes hundreds of posts in a 24 hour period, usually saying about the same thing with just a few words changed, it seems the goal was to try to get his dissenters to hang themselves on voats retarded anti voting system.

According to Putt he ran a script that automatically warned/banned people, seems to have caught a tons of false positives but he's insistent that the script couldn't possibly be flawed.

I'm honestly shocked my user didn't get banned.

Sup

Eh buddy

Putt is ZOG.

Thanks for doing the detective work for me, It should be obvious to anyone who bothered to check that 70times7 hasn't been brigaded, I don't know what Putt was thinking with that excuse.

This just further cements that my ban wasn't for any kind of manipulation but for calling out mismanagement of voat by Putt and the "builders".
