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."

We look for farming and brigading.

Putt, it sure would help to have a clear statement of acceptable and unacceptable conduct in the Voat User Agreement. Lots of folks confused about what is and isn't considered brigading, and getting a warning without understanding what a person did wrong cannot help but have a chilling effect on free expression.

It's a pretty hard thing to be 'confused' about though... if you don't brigade or try to manipulate ccp then you're in the clear. If you are running multiple accounts and know enough to do so, then you know what brigading and vote manipulation is and are just being an obtuse cunt saying "but it's unclear" .

Many people who got warnings only have one account, supposedly. Putt said there are 10 metrics, not just using socks.
