Yesterday a few of you decided to go over to Reddit and kick the beehive...The predictable things happened. Every comment and post on Reddit was down voted to oblivion and the users were generally hostile calling Poal a den a right wing neo-nazis.

Also predictably, a few of them followed the trail back here and started posting pro-Democrat/anti-Trump content... and a few of you got triggered like a PETA member on a hunting trip.

If the first time you see content that does not reverberate with the echo chamber properly you instinctively reach for the down vote button then you are making this place no better than Reddit. That is the top of the slippery slope to vote brigades, shadow bans and censorship. Or did the users that down voted WANT Poal to be an echo chamber? DId some shills just out them selves?

Do better. BE better.

- I'm looking at you. Grow a fucking backbone

If we suddenly start downvoting anything we disagree...

There's an algorithm that handles that and those who abuse downvotes (especially targeted ones, aka brigading) will end up with all their votes being cancelled, will get a nice faggot flair and won't be able to downvote until they behave themselves. It's all automatic.

It's has worked pretty well so far and has kept trolls at bay.

That is the top of the slippery slope to vote brigades, shadow bans and censorship.

Vote brigades can't happen as mentioned above.

Now regarding shadow bans and censorship, and I will make sure this will never have a place here.

There will never be a shadow ban on poal ever. Period ever.
