v/ProtectVoat Edit: I had originally posted this to v/whatever and someone said I ought to post it here. It was pointed out that my assumption that @andrew_Jackson is not the original poster of the What i missed on Voat, however I feel that my post still raises some good questions, and my confusion as to the OP of the "What I missed on Voat" posts only reinforces my concerns. Thank you.

Edit: I am sorry, but I swear I saw @andrew_jackson as the original poster for the What you missed episodes. Let me dig in deeper to see where I got that information. Still, don't let that invalidate the questions at hand.

Edit 2: I deleted my original post, sorry for the duplication, because I thought I was being mislead by the great 1's and 0's of voat. I don't think i am. @andrew_jackson is posting to the v/bestofvoat and @virge is to v/whatever with a 1 hour time difference.

Ah Voat, the best place to test your bullshit filter. I know you have seen the recent "What you missed" episodes on Voat, and all in all, I've enjoyed them. A great distillation on lesser known posts from the v/all and v/new pages, often several pages deep in less then popular subversives. It's a great idea as not everyone spends every waking moment on Voat searching into the deep dark buried pages of the great /All and /New, but still gives us the opportunity to see what conversations or information that we are missing. However, I noticed a posting by @virge which had a glaring addition to the posts @andrew_jackson had created. Namely the BTC and various other bitcoin address for donations. Now, I myself am not overly against e-begging, I think some Kickstarts and GoFundYourselves have generated some great products in the past. But, it raises some questions about this site and its tolerance for that sort of thing. The three posts by @verge, which contains the BTC donation block, are simply copy-pasta by @andrew_jackson, as well as the only three posts by that account. Thus, I ask my fellow goats:

In the name of free speech, should we allow a scammer to post scams to this site? Even if it is not a scam, would this site be better if every post ended in a BTC donation code? Is @virge merely trying to gather funds to increase the racial diversity of Israel and bring its walls down? Does he/she/it have an ulterior motive?

If this is all fine and dandy, then let me propose this. Here is a BTC donation code.

BTC: qpwxd6ejald70jz8249fumvfgfc9h2erzv66q9y96c

I have some skills in the way of Music/CGI/Game Development/Writing. I would love to dev in those areas for my fellow goats. At least I'm upfront with what type of things I'm willing to do for you guys, not just some, I suspect, Nigerian Scammer. If this is the type of ending to quality posts that you want to see in the regular for the future, then OK. If not, well then we should have a discussion on how to avoid it in the future.

Finally, obviously i mentioned @NosebergShekelman. Any donations given, He/She/It will receive half. I mean, a quality poster like that should get at least 40% of what is given due to the quality comments. If not more! Like 20%... yeah, you know the joke.
