tbh, the only functionality I use is not having to solve captcha when posting at level 0.
What about users who get limited in their ability to create subs just because they hurt an admins feelings?
After all, right on top of the user guide it says: ''We'd rather engage in a counter argument with the post/comment we disagree with, and use down votes for spam (you can report to admins) and off topic trolls.''
Last saturday I made this post:
https://poal.co/s/Shitpostsub/331878
AOU then proceeded to log me out and change my password.
I created an alt in order to inform the users in that 200 comment thread about the censorship taking place. AOU benned that alt within 5 minutes and deleted all the comments, he logged me out, changed the password and then benned my browser ID, even the captchas wouldn't work anymore.
Another user who copy/pasted a message from me in that thread was also locked out of his account.
So you see, it's hard to take what you say seriously when there's so much bullshit going in the background here.
I know you're good friends with the admins but they're unethical and extremely childish, it's hard to respect anyone sucking up to them. No matter how badly AOU got burned by Atko years ago, his hate of anyone coming from Voat is a detriment to this site, he's hurting the userbase and will end up with a shit site in no time.

This is where I disagree. Voat users killed Voat. The voat fags complain about any site that isn't exactly as Voat was.
It's like muslims coming into a white country, and demanding sharia law.
I've been around the internetz for awhile. Joined voat very early on, watched it go through its goldne age, then die slowly. I cannot tell you how many times I saw comments EXACTLY like yours, complaining that Voat was engaging in the same thing you're accusing the Poal admins of engaging in. My point being, your word mean nothing, because I've seen it before on Voat, and now a bunch of fags are pretending like Voat is some incredible sanctuary.
At the end of the day. I'm just happy to be on a site where I can talk about whatever, fuck with people, troll around, and have a good time. You're never going to get a traditional (web 2.0) site with complete and utter freedom. Because that means groups can join the site and coordinate terrorism. This is illegal and will get site owners jailed everytime.
The problem I have with atleast part of what your saying is that you asked for it and have a rapport with the admins so that yes you can indeed fuck around and say whatever or troll or whatever. What about those with soft bans that simply can’t log in and do those things? What about folks like me who purposely didn’t act nefarious or power post and because of some reason or another get fucked over? I don’t care about “fake internet points” either. I do care about things that go along with it tho.
No matter how badly AOU got burned by Atko years ago,
lol Wat?
Keep kvetching in your cubicle, faguette.
