A fake news site. " the Burrard Street Journal is a satire news, parody and humor website and is for entertainment purposes only"

My mistake linking to it and quoting from it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Should I delete the post @WORF_MOTORBOATS_TROI ?

Damn dude, somebody does not like what you are trying to say. I have seldom seen a newer acct get hammered like yours has.

I suspect I know who it is.

Follow this thread all the way down.

Made the Top 50 posters but couldn't take a bow, courtesy of the anon

Mumbleberry ago

Who?

gwain ago

at-seanbox (I won't ping the bastard here). Details here.

There is a longer version if you're interested

Mumbleberry ago

Could be, but that 1990 thing is pretty specific to one user (with a ton of alts)

gwain ago

The longer version:

When I set up this subverse, the very first comment on the very first post was a joke made by at-seanbox (I won't ping the bastard here). It was off topic, in a post with the topic "Stay on topic" and the subverse has only 2 rules (aside from the 3 Voat wide rules). 1. Stay on topic & 2. STAY ON TOPIC.

So I deleted it. This resulted in the 2nd post on the subverse (and the only anon post on the subverse, and it is ugly).

So I turned of anon posts on the subverse, and it got uglier. It's a long and nasty read.

At least 2, and possibly 3 users have downvote brigaded both the mods on the subverse, any submissions to the subverse and users that interact here.

Just ugly. Got called a censorfag.

Mumbleberry ago

You did remove a comment that was at least vaguely on topic, something most of voat really frowns upon. Off topic posts? Sure, nuke em.

gwain ago

From the Moderator Management Interface:

Level 3 / Janitor: Access to user banning and post/comment deletions, assigning flairs, inbox.

Emphasis mine. Frowned upon maybe, but not outside the rules.

Mumbleberry ago

You are correct, but look what happened when you did delete a comment. Look at the owner of v/canada when he started deleting and banning. Not pretty.

Got shouted down, the hecklers veto, the DV brigades. Such a leftish tactic. And damned effective. It's working here.

This is why the right loses consistently to the left. How Reddit was turned into a left-wing echo chamber. How the media became uniformly leftish. The ideological puritans of the right attack their own side for badthink (deleting comments BAD! Not against the rules but BAD!!!).

Something the left DOES NOT DO in public. They present a unified front (and while they may slaughter each other in private) they reserve public fire for the other side.

The point of Free Buffalo is to remove us from the leftish regime in Ottawa, and is being sundered by some ideologically pure fool right-winger that wants desperately to believe they are righteous. Go to the overviews of the 2 mods being DV'd, and take notice of how many downvotes either has used.

Zero in both cases.

The hecklers veto is a leftish tactic, an abomination in the free speech issue, and whoever is DVing as a tactic is playing the lefts game. Doing the lefts work, while the left chortles.

Upvoting your own alts is frowned upon, is it also against the rules?

Mumbleberry ago

Of course zero, you need 100 ccp to downvote. Those that have been caught using alts to self upvote got banned, so yeah it's against the rules

gwain ago

I didn't know that 100 CCP was needed, as I hadn't tried the button, not even once. I despise the tactic. As mom used to say, if you can't say something nice say nothing at all.

Mumbleberry ago

Well as you have learned, there are plenty of assholes here.

gwain ago

And some Goats with stones.

cthulhu69 ago

Lol, 15 day newfag calls itself a goat. People with actual "stones" don't whine like little bitches.

gwain ago

You dumb fuck, I wasn't referring to myself

gwain ago

1990? Who is that a signature of?

Mumbleberry ago

He's pretty prolific, you'll run across it

gwain ago

So what your saying is someone other than the un-named organized a DV brigade?

gwain ago

No response to that question? Here's a different response:

I have no doubt everyone is awaiting a response. /s (I started composing this at 1930 hrs GMT 5Jan2019, and once done at 2215 hrs discover I cannot submit the response because I have a quota of 10 per 24 hours BECAUSE the DVíng took me to -1)

Begging for upvotes? That will backfire. cthulhu69

Upvote begging is a bad move though Fambida

Begging for upvotes? This:

"Want to help? Go to both mods profiles/comments and upvote every single comment to counteract the hecklers veto being applied."

is considered begging? Maybe on Reddit...

Howza bout begging for downvotes? Perfectly fine if it's done anonymously? (all times GMT):

First beg at ~1030 hrs 4 views and 4 upvotes, but 3 downvotes (ouch) - score of +1), but zero comments. Hmm, try again.

Second beg at ~1040 Score of +3, no idea if any DV or how many views but finally some traction, 3 comments (but one is [S] so is from the submitter) and finally the [S] names the beggar. Then the question, " maybe jew arab fag nigger will answer". Answer, no. But your question means a lot to me. No, really.

Third beg at ~1050 Score of +2 , 5 UV and 3 DV (ouch again) but 15 views (yay, traction!) and 3 comments (and all 3 name the beggar, but one is a shopping list (?). Is that some Voat-Goat significance?)

3 DV begging Anon posts, all with the same title: "Censor mod begging for upvotes", and all three reference this comment with the "Upvote begging". Safe to assume all 3 from the same anon.

And whats with UV/DV on Anon posts? (more on this user below)

Q: And What is up with people tagging names in those anon subs?

A: "They're trying to harass the users bring tagged without giving away who is doing it, because they're chickenshit."

So, someone (interested in the truth) asks, How did this shitshow get started? On the only anon post on Free Buffalo. It will be the only anon post there ever, as I turned off the feature (and got called names for that)

Read the entire post, be sure to expand the replies for the full effect.

This part especially, where it is pointed out the anon does not follow the guidelines on https://voat.co/v/ProtectVoat when responding to "censorfags"

The response is.......crickets. Very telling.

Above I stated "(more on this user below)". Exactly one goat had the stones to engage, another worthy read, imho. Again, be sure to expand the replies for the full effect.

And in case you don't, here is my take on DV brigading (aka the hecklers veto, aka downvote begging):
