The biggest issue is bans. The sub rules idea makes no sense to me. People get triggered for being banned without a legit reason. So shit posting and agitation starts. Yes, sub owners should be able to ban they should also have manners.
no the biggest issue is censorship. that INCLUDES bans, but also includes things like -ccp and -scp censorship.
i've been here for years on my main - which was my only account - but with -900 or so ccp and -scp i have to do a captcha for all posts, new pms... fuck that shit. can only comment 10 per day. it's fucking censorship, and it needs to go.
the first thing @puttitout can do to make voat for free speech is undo that shit.
your idea would work in a society of good goats. this place is 75% shills now. they would abuse your idea in a heartbeat.
How could you abuse my idea? Bans already work by banning people who have never entered a sub and you should know that first hand. It would also allow the idea of removing points. But how would you curate content? This isn’t a forum system but a social media aggregate system — post links to stories and then comment on them.
I guess you could only allow up votes and just go with that.
Spam needs a reporting system that 5-10 reports sends it to a backlog to be checked. But this doesn’t stop bots.
Your super negative points are because you rub people the wrong way. Many people have told you this — many of us actually support your base idea but you then go ahead and go bonkers and ruin the narrative.
Why do you try so hard?
What do you propose to fix the system that can also take account into spam and bots?
spam needs janitors who must be forced into transparent action with accountability to the admins and userbase; there must be an appeal system.
no, my super negative points on my main are because SBBH downvote brigaded me 20,000 points. you were there for that, ronin.
try so hard? i haven't been here in months. oh you mean like a year ago. yeah. because someone had to stand up to these nigger SJWs. i see fuzzywords finally fucking deleted. good.
turn voat into a 501c3 get volunteers, grow the non-profit as an actual non-profit to combat the degradation of the free-speech community.
i have a lot more to propose but you have an attitude similar to peaceseeker and at best you are misinformed about what has happened and is happening to voat.
Free votes could work. I’d still take away down votes.
Spam: we are similar in idea. Yours is just labor intensive.
Yeah, I was there. I even pm’d with similar to what I just posted. I didn’t down vote back then. Now I just down vote those who attack me personally.
Non-profit could work but I don’t enough about the legality differences between what is happening now and with an NPO for civili liberties. Profits don’t seem to be happening so can’t comment much.
I am not in the loop nor do I know Putt’s thoughts so that is obvious.

Here was my solution that went negative:

It is a 3 strikes systems with arbitration based on a democratic vote. In reality, who would really fight 3 strikes.

try this:
new is front page. all is an option to go to.
everyone can vote freely.
spam needs janitors who must be forced into transparent action with accountability to the admins and userbase; there must be an appeal system.

Trending vs New is a debate. Some like both.
