So many of us have wanted this fake news site banned. That’s great news! Here are details for those who missed it...
New Update...
INITIAL PROOF OF VOTE MANIPULATION
Steps involved:
One sockpuppet account creates two or three comments
Other sockpuppets(5 to 6) upvote the comments.
As soon as the votes are registered and ccp score is cached, the sockpuppet account makes at least one submission to GA or QRV subverse.
The account then immediately deletes the comments that were used to upvote and bypass ccp restriction for submission. This also prevents downvotes from other genuine users (they downvote them because the site spreads fake news).
The newly submitted submissions, they quickly gain at least 5 upvotes within 7 minutes or so. It may be shorter, but I don't have a way of confirming it, due to cache timing on Voat.
This tactic has been used at least 3 times.

Wow that seems like a lot of trouble these shills go to, just to get some crap going. Who has that kind of time? Apparently they do! SMH.

they are being paid for it and work it like a normal job.

I guess that's one better than them doing it for nothing. That would be a scary obsession right there!
