In an attempt to be welcoming to the refugees I am going to ask you politely to not do this. Vote had it's immune system and so does Poal. The suspicious behavior tag is part of Poal's immune system and intentionally acting suspicious in order to get the flair dilutes the usefulness of the flair. Don't be a faggot trying to collect achievements... be a valued member of the Poal community by just up voting content you like and down voting spam and child porn.

I'm trying to be nice and welcoming here... some of you are acting like douche-bags.

As long as the misguided admins of this website continue to stubbornly refuse to implement a system that offers a "cool guy" tag then you can't blame people for being tempted to pursue the only sort of notoriety available to them.

Make it happen!

If all you want to do is gather points and unlock achievements why are you here? Just go play a video game.

If all you want to do is stop people from having fun then why are you posting here? Just go be a janny on 4chan, or a lifeguard or a school bus driver or something

The Poal algorithm is HIGHLY tuned at identifying nigger faggot kikes, or the 'NFK algo'. If you're in that category, it's better if you just leave.

Correct. The “suspicious behavior” tag quickly identifies which is which.

Voat users want to invalidate Poal's immune system techniques and instead use theirs.

Poal users want to invalidate Voat's immune system techniques and instead use theirs.

Voat users want this place to run like Voat; Poal users want it to run like Poal.

There are 2 choices - Accommodate one group's self entitlement and self importance, and have the world revolve around them. Or no one gives in to anyone's self important and self entitled, and this just plays itself out. And we all accept whatever we end up with.

The “suspicious behavior” tag is where to look for the most astute observations.

While I agree with the "downvoting should be reserved for reporting spam", I think that a weakness in the "immune system".

If some are legit getting it for downvoting real spam, then something is wrong.

If others are getting it for attempting to figure out the algorithm to work the system, then the tag itself needs to do more than merely display.

If it does nothing, then it WILL be treated as a badge.

It's one thing to have an influx of voaters, but another to have an influx of shillbots. (No. We are not all the same.)

Ensure that people downvoting spam aren't punished.

Maybe restrict "suspicious behavior" people if they keep continuing to be suspicious. Like, if it's truly algorithm-based, then if they continue, have mod verify and advance it to "confirmed jackass" to where they cant do more stuff but can either appeal or change their ways in some fashion.

Ruqqus is a pile of shit, but to use them as an example.. While as an exilee I cant comment, I can still upvote or downvote the shit out of people. Not sure if that will lead to anything more at some point, though.

Basically, the tag is becoming flair. An appeal to users is good, but means that it needs to be strengthened without hurting regular assholes who aren't truly intent on hurting the site.
