We banned a bunch of accounts today and sent a tremendous amount of warnings.

I did accidently run a batch with a bad config setting and had to manually reverse things.

I think many that got warnings today may be from things up to two months ago.

We don't check warnings like we do bans, so you can get a warning pretty easily but it's nothing to worry about, just a way of us saying "hey, your account showed up on the naughty report."

And if you're flagging accounts for normal activities ("pretty easily"), that's your fuckin' problem. Don't make it ours.

PuttItOut ago

No, you're wrong. If you even show up at all you're being abusive.

totes_magotes ago

So now you're lying? Maybe you're just confused? Saying it's easy to show up one minute and that you have to be abusive the next.

Get your head out of your ass.

Triggered SBBHers everywhere I look. :D Love it!

Yes.

But you do realize if you have a spouse on the same IP and they up your content you will be affected, don’t you?

Bro I don't know a single person irl that uses voat. So that's definitely not the case for my false detect.

Anyone not using a VPN is an idiot. That is all.

WhiteRonin ago

Putt said he doesn’t save IPs then recommends VPN:

Old db scheme saved IPs

This seems like a valid concern , which also could be abused. The most realistic thing would be to avoid upvoating said spouse's comments and submissions.

WhiteRonin ago

There are more concerns than this. Putts replies are not congruent.

That would happen. So which is a more reasonable scenario in order to try to prevent vote manipulation:

1) Ignore obvious patterns of voting from the same ip address because it "might" be the spouse or one of the many spouses a person has.

2) Do not fucking upvote your spouses posts for this fucking OBVIOUS reason.

I know there are no perfect solutions and every voting prevention can be avoided if one does his homework. But still, can you please not ask us to lower the standards and maybe ask/beg your wifeS to stop upvoting your posts in order for you not to be "needlessly" flagged ?

WhiteRonin ago

Something is still strange.

Why is Putt shilling VPN like X22?

Fateswebb ago

How many people even have spouses on voat? 😂 Seems so unlikely a scenario.

also running a vpn multiple people could be on the same IP, so it cant go off that. He gets a list of people

IP alongside other data sent by the browser

Thanks for this sweet thread, and thanks for taking me along on your above fishing expedition, albeit unsuccessful. I bet we will catch something next time. ;)
