I downvote all the time. The only thing you get banned for is trying to get your race to organize. This place is pretty chill otherwise.
I thought that too until they nuked me. Look around and see all these greyed out fuckers. Most are not trolls. Ask them how they got banned. Its totally fucking arbitrary. If you disagree with the admin you are on his shit list . Then you make one downvote. Thats how you get nuked. I have only ever made the occassional downvote. Then I criticized someone elses banning and I was nuked within 24 hrs for making maybe 2 or 3 downvotes. Anyone who talks about this alot just has their account deleted. Someone was deleted today for no reason. If I make a post asking why that user was deleted I would get nuked again.
You need to wake the fuck up.
That's true, I'm not even that offensive and I'm flagged as "Suspicious" and probably shadowbanned for all I know.
I was too. You are grayed out. I did nothing except confront you know who on why he banned someone, unfairly. Most people are blameless. He’s a capricious fuck, its not an algorithm. Message me when you get out of the hole. Heres an up vote.
So, you don't really get banned? Your text just changes color? It's kind of a weird punishment because the lighter text is more noticeable, despite being harder to read.
Edit: Sorry. I read your comment incorrectly. But yeah, I'd prefer it if this website was more free. I wanna see every idiot's opinion!
You can get “nuked” which means that your comments are sort of grayed and you can only post a comment every 5 min and theres some other reduced functionality on the account. No messaging. All your points are deleted and they give you negative points : -60 or -150 or whatever. Seems completey arbitrary based on how big of an asshole admin wants to be that day.
You can also get banned which means you are never going to be able to use this or any other account on the site. Also arbitrary as fuck.
Dont interact in anyway with the admin. Dont confront him with any complaint. Dont disagree with him in any way. Dont down vote ever. I rarely downvoted and I do not troll people or have 3 other alts. But I have been nuked. Ive seen some nice people get nuked or banned for no reason.
You need to wake the fuck up.
I've been paying attention, ever since the tallest ban, and the strange flairs on old-goat names (e.g. Anticlutch). I do spend most of my time on Voat, you can discuss real topics and real solutions there.
This place has memes and homofake stories. It's why either of us were in the thread to begin with.
Were you here for the pedo controversy? That sucked. He bans people who are not bad actors. He’s a dick.
I would be at Voat but its just so hard to look at it. The fucking interface. I hate to be shallow. But damn.
