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.

They are now using sites like kek.gg to redirect you to the Daily Crusader. They will probably come up with new names as each site is flagged. They are determined.

Cynabuns already banned kek.gg(url shortener).
They'll likely use more though.

Excuse the crosslink lol, I'm not reporting you as a spammer at all, just sharing your finding over in the thread about the banning of the DailyCrusader domain.

No problem. I was wondering what that was. Thanks for being aware and trying to assist. I appreciate it.
