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."

Does that mean with respect to your script as a whole that I did do something, but maybe two months ago?

PuttItOut ago

Yes. The last time we did manipulation bans was end of March, so this run covered that point forward.

Durm ago

So I did something you considered manipulation.

PuttItOut ago

I don't consider it manipulation, it is manipulation. You don't ever show up on this report unless you are targeting another inorganically.

Warnings are used when one or more metrics don't absolutely confirm manipulation, i.e. maybe there was a long convo people had and they hated each other for days of back and forth arguing.

I don't consider it manipulation, it is manipulation.

Warnings are used when one or more metrics don't absolutely confirm manipulation,

Reconcile these two statements.

10 metrics, 8 fully positive flags, 2 questionable. Just an example.

Mine?

You’re pretty much talking directly to ZOG at this point man. It’s obvious a crack down is coming. He won’t tell us who funds vote or which government agency contacted him and what the results of that communication was.

If laws were broken, don’t you think he’d want us to specifically know what the incidence was so we would not do it again? He never provided examples because the goal is to chill speech.

Durm ago

He doesn't want tot tell us what the metrics are concretely because he doesn't want people to game the system. However quite a few "normal" people are going to get super pissed when they come on voat tomorrow and not understand what's going on.

IDK man, I see a lot of people professing innocence that I believe.

That is the concern of mine at the moment. A programming mistake is forgivable when a notice is displayed. I would have spammed everyone saying “oops, my bad” and made a joke out of it.

The metrics, I wouldn’t say for the exact reason you mentioned. Gotta keep that shit secret.

However, this reporting system can be triggered I bet by spouses sharing a machine. Or possibly the same IP. I could be wrong but I doubt I’m that far off.

Dude I don't even have a spouse, just me on one account, I know nobody irl that uses voat at all. Just one lone gunman, and one account. Period the end. I also never use on public WiFi I use on two of my own phones usually, sometimes on my PC. I have been falsely flagged by this script. Sad since I use this site daily for hours a day, and now am very discouraged by being falsely accused by what I despise and have even tried to fight against. Falsely accused like trump dude.
