THEAWAKENING IS BACK TO HANDING OUT USER BANS AGAIN (ProtectVoat)

submitted ago by theoldones

You've been banned from v/theawakening :(

@DrogeAnon has banned you from v/theawakening for the following reason: Rule Violation in v/theawakening: Stay ON TOPIC; Description: Spamming pointless 'muh mods' removal reason cut and pastes. Asked to stop, ignored. Wasting everyone's time with low effort Twisted-Sister-depth activism. All bans, as always here and elsewhere, appealable via good faith discussion.

@DrogeAnon

smile for the hidden camera!

"good faith discussion."

IE grovelling like you sucking your wifes boyfriends cock. no thank you. YOU kneel to this websites users. not the other way around

DrogeAnon ago

Yeah yeah it was painfully obvious to anyone who bothered to watch your little campaign that this was always your goal. But I made it clear that you're banned for ignoring our request to stop spamming our sub with low effort crap. Have a complaint to make about the mods? We won't remove it if you put some effort in and actually make it worth people's time to read. But if you just want to clutter our feed to slide our board? Seeya.

Have a complaint to make about the mods? We won't remove it (just as we didn't on Reddit) if you put some effort in and actually make it worth people's time to read. We welcome those posts too because they either expose bad actors in our ranks or expose processes that need improvement.

Your public removal log tells a different story

if you just want to clutter our feed to slide our board

Again, with 3 posts in a hour max? Did you know that's the fucking posting limit per sub? You're fucking retarded.

Broc_Lia ago

Did you know that's the fucking posting limit per sub?

Pretty sure it's not, I've posted more than that before.

d-_-bored-_-b ago

Why dont you let the people decide if its worth their time to read?

Broc_Lia ago

That argument doesn't really work. Mods/janitors can and should get rid of content that's clearly off topic, posting the whole ban log clearly isn't about q or the deep state.

d-_-bored-_-b ago

Wouldn't it just be a meta post?

Broc_Lia ago

One might be a meta-post yes. Ten of them? Spam

kneo24 ago

Go back and re-read what they said.

They're a liar about not deleting good faith criticism of the sub. That topic they deleted was a good faith effort, even if they don't like it. It's hard to take them at their word when they delete any and all criticisms of themselves. A sub should allow [meta] discussions. By removing, you only invite people to keep making them.

Copy pasting the ban log into ten posts is not putting effort in or making it worth people's time to read, it's a shitpost.

They're a liar about not deleting good faith criticism of the sub.

That wasn't good faith criticism, not by a long shot.

By removing, you only invite people to keep making them.

Sure, other spammers exist, they should ban them too.

kneo24 ago

I disagree. Copying and pasting the logs is good criticism. You also conveniently ignored them out lying about allowing good faith criticism with the link i provided. You are nitpicking at the smaller picture here.

Broc_Lia ago

I disagree. Copying and pasting the logs is good criticism.

We'll just have to disagree on that. If his object was to draw the userbase's attention to the heavy handed moderation, he could just as easily have included a link to the banlogs (others have) and achieved the same thing.

Taking up a slot on their front page to air your grievances is one thing. Needlessly taking up ten slots? That's spam. It's manhood101/sanegoat type behaviour. It shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

You also conveniently ignored them out lying about allowing good faith criticism with the link i provided. You are nitpicking at the smaller picture here.

I'm discussing the OP's post. I explicitly said I don't dispute that they have powermods, but he was spamming and completely deserved to be banned.

theoldones ago

mod criticism. odd then, that's "off-topic"

boredTech ago

mod criticism really belongs under v/protectvoat

Seventh_Jim ago

I'm going to be civil here, because I don't think you're a completely hopeless faggot. Responding to the vitriol like you are is not going to have an optimal result for you, and if that is the tack you're going to take in a mod position, you will end up leading a walled garden rather than an organic community.

Voat as a culture does not trust moderators, and much like the ideal sane people hold for police, you are expected to have better behavior than the average user, in line with the expanded powers granted by your position.

Without looking, I think you were probably in the right for banning the person you did. That you are emotionally invested in defending it on a separate sub is concerning. I get that it sucks having people shit on your reputation by saying shit that isn't true, but go ask a cop about it sometime. Because thats how we see you when you act like this: a cop that thinks the meager additional authority makes him powerful. It'd be cool if your community can integrate here, but you should remember that until you're invested in the culture a fuckton more than y'all are now, you're at best unasked for and unprincipled guests who would have been here much sooner if you actually gave a shit about freedom.

GoodGodKirk ago

This is it exactly for me. Theawakening, to me, is about power and division. The mods enjoyed the power back on reddit and want the same here, but infiltration of a board while bashing the locals and making plans in other forums to takeover aren’t exactly welcomed.

Just leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth and makes me embarrassed to say I follow Q.

Not everyone is like this though, but the loud mouths pull attention to themselves and rise the board up against them.

Seventh_Jim ago

I'm staying out of the Q thing. It looks like a rhetorically useful LARP to me, so I won't oppose those on my side, and @DrogeAnon states his case well here, as well as updated it to be more professional without backing off his claim. Respect to a man that can own a fuck up, especially while sficking to his guns.

Putt vouched for these guys and they're acting somewhat ok. Given that the admin has skin in the game, I'm inclined to trust his judgement.

GoodGodKirk ago

Maybe in the future when I stop seeing takeover attempts posted on other sites or when I see mods from that sub calling out against these types of actions. Until then, I still see them as shills trying to fit in.

I don’t mind alternative subs, I do mind their attempts to blast the GA community with false reports of infiltration.

I love alternative viewpoints.

Broc_Lia ago

That you are emotionally invested in defending it on a separate sub is concerning.

OP @mentioned him, what did he expect?

Agreed with the rest.

Vladthepowerful ago

keep up the good work @DrogeAnon.

Nobody wants to see this shill's bullshit...they're just too scared to say it because they don't want to be downvote brigaded by these sore old goat pussies.

MrPim ago

Old goats fight among ourselves too. If there's a valid complaint the old goats will bitch slap any other old goat. We don't fear any of that shit.

DrogeAnon ago

I'll use my remaining comment today to thank you. I trust the legit Voat users don't actually play fake bully games like this and will see we've made every attempt to stay transparent and open to legitimate input. I hope our community shows up again soon to support. We're here to act in good faith despite the constant posts you see around here that make totally false claims about our intentions. Thanks for the feedback!

Vladthepowerful ago

As soon as we get enough CCP, my team and I will get you out of your hole and you guys can participate with the rest of us. Sorry it's taking so long.

boredTech ago

I really wouldn't try that. A sudden artificial drop in points is considered manipulation. Now, if he's saying shit that you disagree with as it comes your way, nail it to the ground. Also, don't upvoat farm.

Replying to a 15 min old account at the time...

Sounds like samefagging.

theoldones ago

"remaining comment today"

that's becuase this site hates you because you do this

@Vladthepowerful is one your alts, isnt it

Broc_Lia ago

that's becuase this site hates you because you do this

Speak for yourself. Honestly I'm more inclined to hate you for spamming in this particular case.

Vladthepowerful ago

Its not the site...its a few of you oldfags that think its funny to downvote anyone you don't like. The rest of us love our mods. Its not our fault your mother never loved you. ...and pretty sure puttitout can tell you that this is not any mod's alt...just a concerned Q follower that is tired of your shit and not afraid of downvotes...I don't comment and just like to read but you got me off the bench...thx for that, I guess.

"26 minutes old"

hi @DrogeAnon

GoBackToReddit ago

clutter our feed to slide our board

At 3 posts an hour?

theoldones ago

i only made a post when he deleted one. if it was clutter, it coincided with him removing the last one

GoBackToReddit ago

That's made pretty clear by the removal logs.

Wants to fight the deep state, can't deal with one users opinions.

theoldones ago

this website and its users ignores all your requests.

any questions?
