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.
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 foolright-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?
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.

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)

Just ugly. Got called a censorfag.

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.

From the Moderator Management Interface:
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.

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

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

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