Being tracked by Voat (Conspiracy)

Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)

So I have two user names.

I innocently used the second user name and clicked on a news article up vote and got: Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)

So. I use linux, Firefox and have browser cookies set to auto delete when the browser closes. I also have a city wide IP address. So it is not on my IP address.

So. I closed the browser and checked cookies. Zero cookies are listed. So how does Voat know and give Denied - Vote has already been registered for device (Submission Vote Identity 2.7)

Although many do, site regulations say you are not allowed alts. I was surprised when I found out after seeing how prolific alts are.

Now. THIS is the point.

I have only just got back into Voat.

I was locked out for a long time.

I had a previous account and I posted an answer to Totesmagaot (or whatever) and he/she/it did not like my post so he told me he would down voat EVERYTHING I posted. I left Voat at -300 points. I dropped my account and stooped posting.

And then the lockout happened.
