I'd prefer a list of known alt/ faker voat/ sleeper accounts, so users can ignore them and the ability to move the cursor over a post/ comment vote count to see what users have up or down voted.
Thanks for a productive comment. I was so floored by that I had to read it twice.
I'd love to have a list of who owns what for alts and sleepers, or just the list of alts and sleepers. That feature could end some of the bullshit.
Maybe you knew this, maybe not - you can see the down voters now, click on the post, click the circular (world?) icon on the right under the post to see the list of who has down voted it. Not sure if that works for comments too. So few downvotes are cast I haven't had an opportunity to try the feature on comments.
Oh lol, i didnt know you could already see who downvoted.
Tbh, i havent up or down voted for like 3 or 4 years after i got nixxed for suppoedly down voting to much 'Muh algorithm !!'- i always made sure it was one down vote max (to off topic/ spam posts) per 5 -10 up votes across the entire site for a day or what ever. So i quit down voting off topic/ spam even tho it was within TOS - then got nixxed again shortly after, for being accused of up voting other fake voat alt accounts (even asked for which accounts i up voted so i could avoid them in the future) when I was up voting across the entire site on posts or comments that i agreed with or resonated with me - many times i didnt even bother with whose account it were. Public disclaimer - both times my account was nixxed was during real time back and forth commenting with some admin but i really don't read anything into that, just a coincidence surely.
Was it Crensch? I could see that happening, as much as you love QStorm/QPatriots and Crensch owned those subs. I could easily envision some friction there.
I only upvote posts and comments I like. I stopped down voting altogether. I suppose if I was really, really pissed off, I might let one rip. I've issued 9 downvotes on POAL, none of them in the past year. When I discovered there were potential repercussions for overuse, I stopped.
QStorm/QPatriots and Crensch owned those subs.
That's partially incorrect.
Crensch never owned QStorm.
He was promoted mod by the creator of the sub (who went MIA) and he abused his position to silence people who were posting Q related stuff in the sub. When confronted with Boobs and I in our mumble chat, he started to act like a prick and posted sticky post trying to stir drama (just like this post). He then demanded ownership of QStorm, claiming he had the credential of the creator of the sub (which he didn't or he would have made a fake transfer request).
So we eventually decided to remove him from the mod team of that sub because of his faggit powermod attitude. He created QPatriots and tried to divide the already shrinking QStorm userbase, flooding his new sub with posts to slide /all front page.
He then stopped moderating and let the sub being spammed with fakenews and ToS violation (calls to violence) and never replied to my PM reminding him of his responsibility as a owner/mod. So I decided to disable the sub.
He probably got assigned to a new cubicle mossad operation.
There are also repercussions for up voting in TOS.
Upvoting (vote brigading) of 'fake voat/ alt accounts' (even if unknown to the up voting user - that's why a public list would be helpful to all users, esp new users with zero knowledge of existing users/ personalities of the site) gets the account 'algo-ed' and upvoting comments that promote, endorse or otherwise encourage things specifically deemed against TOS with also get the upvoting user account perma banned.
i just stay away from voting entirely - 'Le Voting is fake and ghey anyway'.
No it wasn't Crensch - it was 'The admin'. Lol.
