SaneGoatiSwear ago

he did a thicker response as well, but yeah.

hit and run with half truths and vague statements.

won't have an actual conversation.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

you gettin dv'd derpy wtf???o people don't understand the historical value of you talking

individualin1984 ago

Ya thanks for being such a dick to them that you fucked it up for the rest of us.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

false attribution

stupid nigger

i didn't do to them whatever made them both disappear on the same day like 6 months ago for a month and two months and come back different people.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

do you or do you not talk to the admins offline and (some of you) code voat?

edit: yeah, won't answer, eh buddy boy.

scandalous-goat ago

Member when /v/all/new wasn't filled with fud spam?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

aaaand i think it's my only upvoated post this morning..

SaneGoatiSwear ago

for real bro. remember back in the day? it wasn't just the "pop in's with funny comments" it was the ability to have meaningful discussion that the admins participated in

i member it.

and it's gone. it's been 6 months since any long form meaningful back and forth between the admins and the general user base (excluding the sjw cabal that codes voat)

PuttItOut ago

I member

SaneGoatiSwear ago

yeah. now tell me more about this

can you or can you not ban users with this, silently?

have you used it?

can you show me a log of users banned with this, and the reasoning, and what the appeals process is?

PuttItOut ago

We ban spammers, but it isn't silent. They get an error when they try to post/comment that contains that exact message.

Voat does no silent operations (shadow banning), if any rule denies you, you are presented with the error message explaining it.

Listen sane, it's all on the up and up, you can continue looking all you want, but seriously, we aren't being shady. If we were, we would have moved all the rules code into a private repo like the other site does with their sensitive logic.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

you won't answer any of these questions.

you're clearly not putt. putt would have no problem answering these questions.

in fact

you've proven my memberberries correct

@d0c5 see?? just a fucking hit and run.. no meaningful conversation. :(

SaneGoatiSwear ago

who is "legal"

what's going on with finances? why no reports? why no little donation bar thingy that i showed you? ( i hear that may have been a thing previously on voat! wtf!)

AND SO MUCH MORE YOU"RE NOT COMMUNICATING

but thanks for coming into

hit and run

a little joke :(

SaneGoatiSwear ago

oh also

we ban spammers, but it isn't silent

well to the rest of us it is. where's the "admin level ban log" eh? ZERO transparency, putt, and that's a fact.

MadMonkey ago

I support an admin level ban log, even if its just a log of all the spammers, so be it. Transparency is key.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

cheers. people so easily forget my motive is to keep voat a place of free speech, not let it devolve into the freeze peach mess we have today.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

um, atko recently silently "ninja" removed @thc as a mod and @innocentbystander

it was the next day we got a (bullshit) excuse.

voat does no silent operations

yeah that's just not true

we aren't being shady

then what happened to you when you left for 2 months

and @atko said - in response to "do you think putt may never return?"

he said "i wouldn't be surprised"

so what happened?

also,

why can't we have convos like this (assuming you'll keep responding) anymore? i miss the good-guy versions of you. what changed? was it the saudis? blink twice rapidly for the saudis!

MadMonkey ago

They seem to have given a pretty good reason for removing @thc

https://voat.co/v/videos/1482143/7194565/10#7194565

SaneGoatiSwear ago

pretty good reason

yeah i wrote a full breakdown of this, but it was downvoat brigaded on v/all/new the second it popped.

i'll give you a short version:

(btw you linked to the wrong comment for atko's explination)

he said that the "ninja edit of the css" regarding the bottom bar, was the "final straw" and was a "gun to his head of a demand he didn't like"

where as that css had been there for A YEAR, and was publicly done and everyone liked it. it was the opposite of ninja.

and there was no demand.

the text simply said "comment history disabled after page 19"

it was a notification to the users of a change in the service called voat.

because the admins had failed to notify users FOR A MONTH.

all attempts i and a couple others had made to tell people were downvoated to hell and generally did not make it to the average goat's ears.

what DID get to everyone's ears was the de-modding. everyone attached to atko's emotional language (a disinformation tactic) and forgot about the whole thing as if thc had somehow hurt atko

by doing the job atko failed to do.

it was a whitewash to say the least.
