ProtectVoat head mod for 3.5 years got his start knowingly using brigading, vote manipulation, and an outside group of users that wanted to push Voat to irrelevancy

No, I'm not kidding.

@kevdude knowingly used @BuilderAnon/@Electrolumus/@NucleoLumus/@Heru to consensus crack and manipulate Voat into behaving how they wanted Voat to behave.

I will prove this all to you below in the screenshots shared with me in mid October of last year:

On 9-14-2018:

@srayzie, lead mod of the up-and-coming /v/GreatAwakening received these PMs from @BuilderAnon.

Who is BuilderAnon? He's a user that supposedly crafted the @shebacle, uses programs and glitches on Voat, along with his private reddit mod buddies of /swampwatch to change the narrative HERE. On Voat. Here's a good rundown of him.

Highlights:

We have a common friend, Kevdude

3 years ago Kevdude my self[sic] and Scandinavian wrote a document we called the ProtectVoat Charter.

Using a bug in Voat I was able to take over AskVoat and control the contents of the new page keeping endless questions about moderation policy and examples of bad moderation covering the sub from top to bottom. By days end we managed to cover the entire home page with our posts and had completely taken over the site

WE used this as a way to found ProtectVoat and demand pollicy changed[sic] that protected us from bad moderation on default subverses

Emphasis on "WE" is mine. Anything bolded and caps-locked is my emphasis moving forward.

The above is pretty bad, if true. There's more. I wont' keep linking the same image this time. The following are from the image above until the next image link - format will continue throughout:

WE want to found ProtectFreedom, a Q focused ProtectVoat so we can forge a new charter that can teach them to gain power over their own community

Another charter forced upon users to adopt a ProtectVoat-like paradigm.

This is where a Trojan that I'll keep under my hat for now comes into play. To black box it, input he[sic] above community debate over rights and output a scaling of the conversation to 1.5-3 million voices.

Kevdude and I have ideas of how to make that occur.

Kevdude and I are aiming T+72 hours before we make any public signaling towards this goal. We are going to allow the moderators to destroy them selves[sic] them[sic] step into the power vacuum and teach the qmunity to lead it's[sic] self.

Ok, just assume any missspellings or grammar mistakes are this guy's. [sic] is getting pretty prevalent there.

So, he and kevdude PLANNED this attack and forced repeat of /v/ProtectVoat.

I've been finding swamp watch folks... telling them to go to ProtectVoat and become familiar and expect a place to congregate... They are akin to ProtectVoat for T_D and GA on _eddit.

Outside group being used as leverage.

We need only lead and support long enough for them to stand on their own.

We need only manipulate Voat long enough to ensure everyone is under our thumbs.

Voat today is what kevdude made it.

I'm a contributing engineer on qmap.pub

This is engineering consensus.

Voat today is engineered consensus. Think I'm lying?

I'm ElectroLumus, NucleoLumus, & Heru

Then WHEN KEVDUDE IS READY we begin to recruit

WE train folks. Organize them

made swamp watch to keep an eye on the communities... they've already come here

There are 1420 SOME ODD OF US at the time of the purge.

We have hidden high ground and can dismantle their plot if we figure out its trajectory and get ahead of it.

If something of the above doesn't seem important, remember engineering consensus.

QMaps owner is. I explained the plan about an internet bill of rights. WE'RE going to host the draft and cross link to the community drafting it when it comes time.

THEY are going to leverage the insane numbers of qmaps.pub to force a bill THEY write upon others. The guys that used underhanded tactics to force PV and its charter down our throats.

We totally devastated her account and she couldn't post while being head mod of a default sub.

Referencing @she.

To be quite honest there were worse mods than her but she attracted the most hate because of her attitude so she became the easiest target to make the mob gather.

Sounds like something I've seen recently. What do you think?

Then I disappeared and left Scan and Kevdude in charge.

They won't see us coming when we do come. QMap is massive in terms of users and eyeballs. It's the hidden highground.

Leveraging another site against the users in a disagreement here.

My role is to build things that endure.

Like PV, that was created with lies and manipulations.

We're trying the old recipe again

Trying to force something again on us like PV.

I'm a software engineer. My experience in social engineering yielded HWNDU season 4, #SendEmSalt, and ProtectVoat... we engineered the original debate

Sounds like as standup guy, that kevdude! Engineering problems to force solutions that are also engineered.

Now I'm going to rapidfire information and images because fuck this long ass post:

BuilderAnon says kevdude "saved" Voat", that he was a hardcore troll/shitposter, and that @she was targeted because she was an easy mark - sound like something recently that happened? He used every dirty tactic in the playbook, and describes consensus 'forming' (crackting). He states how he can rack up mass contribution points with relative ease. He supposedly handed over his chatlogs with qmap to @kevdude, and thinks of PV as his SLEEPER CELL and that he's entrenched here because of his "friendships".

BuilderAnon admits to targeting @9-11, and graphing things in far more detail than it seems @virge is (notice him getting attacked?) BuilderAnon shared some images of his Voat user mapping program, 12345. And he describes it as an graphing database app. 2

I know some of you are into that kind of thing, here BA accuses @kevdude of being pussy whipped by @srayzie, and admonishing her for not going along with his shady fuck bullshit. Another "WE have one mission." Posting from an alt account that supposedly doesn't belong to him but a group.

NOW FOR THE PAYDIRT:

@kevdude writes that EL(BuilderAnon) helped me with that takedown, and cautions @srayzie not to respond to him. Sound familiar @Trigglypuff? Kev asks again for srayzie to ignore EL, and claims to know BuilderAnon deleted his ElectroLumus account "so stuff couldn't be dredged up in defense of @she." He then asks @srayzie to delete her comments about BuilderAnon/Electrolumus so when he calms down he can help kev "map this guy out and figure out who he is".

Kevdude again tells srayzie to stand down and delete comments about builderanon. Kev admits he's dealing with 2 people he trusts which are BuilderAnon and Srayzie, calls BA an "ally". Calls him an ally again, and tells Srayzie he's worked with BA before. And again with his EL is an ally

Kev states that BA is good at spotting leaders and he laughs about @she's 10,000ccp getting dropped to the negatives. Then he goes on to admit the glitch BA talked about could game the system votes, then talks tough about burning some mod accounts into the ground and them needing to fill out captchas.

CONCLUSION:

BuilderAnon, working with the private Reddit subverse Swamp Watch, conspired to engineer consensus and exploit bugs for votes here on Voat, with not only the cooperation of, but the blessing of @kevdude. And it has happened once already.

BIG QUESTIONS:

Why are they doing this social engineering? To what end? Why would two regular guys with jobs and RW lives go to this much trouble? Is there some reason they might want to make sure Voat has no strong moderators?

Can we link any of this to Kev's documented lies to shed light on what the agenda might be?

Maybe some of you fine folks will be able to answer those questions.

Any questions?
