should we censor things instead of just blocking them?

Fixed that for ya.

NotHereForPizza ago

We both know what they're doing.

I expected more from you.

Don't get me wrong, I don't support censorship, but we're quite literally uncovering something very obvious here and the more traction it gets, the stupider we would appear to let it continue.

middle_path ago

If it's so obvious, why can't you come out and say it?

NotHereForPizza ago

I can and I have, many, many times.

middle_path ago

Can you link it then?

middle_path ago

What am I supposed to get from this?

toobaditworks ago

Archive isn't working for me now... i'm guessing the same for you?

Here's what it says:

"I just posted to v/aww. Here comes the NPCs!" - Gabara

Let's see if we can repeat the success of last week! -C_Corax

To victory! - gabara

i'm down -rrdd

The success was linked to this: https://voat.co/v/VoatStatistics/2902237

What to get from it is they are a group of people spamming /v/aww to cause trouble and flood the front page.

So what? So it's just a gag because people are bitching about too many posts on v/all. I don't understand how this is subversive. It's just textbook trolling.

toobaditworks ago

Well last night the default Voat.co page had 16 out of 25 posts from /v/aww. They have been doing this everyday for weeks now. It slides all other content of the default front page. That is subversive.

middle_path ago

Then don't use the default page.

toobaditworks ago

I like the default page. A lot of times I browse without logging in. It belongs to all voat users not to a group of infiltrators and manipulators. I'm not going to ignore the problem. I'm going to become their problem.

middle_path ago

Well then you have no reason to complain. You have all the tools in your hand to not see the content and you're deciding to ignore it.

toobaditworks ago

Lol whatever dude. I don't have the tools to ban the users who spam so... Well I sorta do because I messaged the owners (if messaging the owners is a tool) and they have made it clear that the cancer will be cleaned up.

middle_path ago

The tools are the block tool, silly goose.

And Putt's statement was really vague. I have a suspicion it's not going to be whatever you think it's going to be.

toobaditworks ago

Shit. I hope you're not right.
