This also happened here: https://voat.co/v/voatdev/2444433. I was just wondering why there was so much downvoting on my score when I was barely active, mostly just lurking. And it turned out that submission was still active with downvoting after a couple of days! XD How dedicated of (((them)))!
I have a theory. The /v/realProtectVoat crew uses discord(archive) to organize their group voting behavior. And they were keeping things in sync with outside communication channel. Notice those who were keeping votes "in-check" didn't make comments; they just tip the votes to keep the scores afloat while driving his opponents into negative. He slipped at some point, most likely subconsciously or due to muscle memory. It must be difficult going back and forth between reddit and Voat while keeping things organized and typing really fast at the same time. And he typed /r/realProtectVoat instead of /v/realProtectVoat. This also happened twice within the same submission(comment1, comment2).
I don't have the time, energy, or desire to dig any further. I just want to browse and find something interesting to learn and watch things going on around the world. Since I saw this submission, I thought this might help explain why such voting behavior has surfaced for the past days or weeks.
I don't know. But this screenshot was given in this thread when he tried to convince someone. The timestamp of that snapshot should be relatively close to the timestamp of the conversation of that thread. The screenshot does show that these guys are organized outside of Voat.

The votes in "comment1" are pretty telling, too. Make the opposition ~0 and make your votes higher.
Is that sarmegafaggot in discord?
