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."

Vote manipulation implies the use of alts to upvote one self or to brigade a user that one may dislike.

I got a message from a user that claims he only has 1 account. He actually messaged you about that and asked me to message you also.

I personally don't mind the bans if they are justified. So care to explain why a user with only one account can engage in Vote manipulation?

I personally downvote comments I see unproductive, illogical, "preaching to the choir" and from users I dislike. So am I also engaging in vote manipulation?

PS: I downvoted the submission of that you did because of how you imply that those that downvoted you are destroyers. I prefer objectivity and I prefer data and evidence to justify a ban not just rely on the admin's word for it.

So I am in fact displeased of seeing this happening like this. Take for example @MadWorld and how he presented evidence of the suspicious links users were posting. He provided data publicly.

I would think that you would do the same when you do the posts you do about the bans: links, screenshots archives... There are a lot of user that were denounced before and that are engaging in such behaviors and yet they aren't banned.

Then I get a message from one user that apparently was banned for vote manipulation when he doesn't seem to have engaged on that. So I do request evidence. Please check your PM because I sent you a message about it and in the future, please provide evidence to justify the bans. It is the least you can do.

Actually I got a report for vote manipulation. And I assure you I have only one account and don't discuss voat with other users in private to "vote brigate" it's just me and my opinion. I do however probably vote on comments more than most.... It's part of what I find fun about voat, giving your opinion, and kinda a self moderation feature. But I hate vote manipulators so to be a xused of it is so yuk.
