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.

Then you have a terribly-made metric on your hands because arguments like that happen on voat often and those users don't warrant getting caught up in the dragnet.

notice he says inorganically.... So lets say I ask 5 friends...hell lets say just 3 to downvoat a user comments section. Totally organic right? @puttitout

Oh wait that happened to me.

you think I liked waking up early and spend 30 minutes offsetting the nightly brigades

I've watch accounts flat just leave the site from it.... does that not constitute abuse?

Do YOU putt have ANY FUCKING idea how many accounts I have lost due to downvoat brigades???????????

fuck off you liar, selective enforcement

needle, hi its nice to hear from you

I have never asked or even talked to another user about up or downvoting together false detect... Right here. How many shills we're false detected or banned? Or is it only legit users being tagged?
