I was really shocked by @puttitout's reversal on this.
Not the manipulation bans; that made sense or could be appreciated at least. They were messy and had false positives. But lumping in the dox bans and undoing them at the same time? And not even mentioning it in the sticky? He addressed every other piece of drama going on with a little heading and a blurb.
But not a word on the doxxers. Not why he unbanned them. Not even acknowledging that he did. I didn't find out until I scrolled down to see trigglypuff being welcomed back by @peaceseeker. What a surreal moment that was.
And not a peep from him since. The Wild West announcement, and then silence.
Doing what he did like that, undoing the bans, not mentioning it, no indication of clearer dox rules coming, declaring us the Wild West... It sent a very clear message to the perpetrators: You are free to do as you please, with @puttitout's blessing and apologies for interfering!
I immediately told him what would happen next, in private. No response, so I said as much in public. Only for @peaceseeker to insist: "You're wrong in your judgment that the ban reversals were signs of toleration of misbehaviour."
And, still, not a word from @puttitout. Still, nothing but silence. Still, the likes of @peaceseeker and @sguevar, self-professed do-gooder Christian, will write paragraphs upon paragraphs bending over backwards to find excuses and loopholes to justify doing nothing about the above behavior (but insisting they're totally not defending it) while simultaneously condemning people like @crench, for having the audacity to fight back.
Where are their long paragraphs condemning the direct and credible threats of violence against users and their children? Nowhere to be found. Too busy finding ways to rationalize doing nothing in the face of evil, and condemning those who won't submit.
Where have we seen this pattern before?
Same old jealous cowards that have ruined everything throughout history. Hiding behind rules they're always willing to bend for the wicked, afraid to ever make a judgment call themselves, furiously envying those who have the fortitude to take a stand and the conviction to make those calls and own them.
Let's do one thing, please go ahead and report User zyklon B to the Authorities with all that you have from Voat. Go ahead and place the report and then tell me what comes out of it?
Please do it and take a screencap of the report also without doxxing yourself of course and then please make a post with an update to let us know what happened in the end.
I will be more than happy to wait for your update.
Why don't you go ahead and consult with a criminal lawyer while you are at it. Let me know what happens also. Because if you don't do that, according to your stupid logic, that also makes you an accomplice and hence that also makes you a vermin and scum.
Let's see if you are not full of shit.
And continue with your moral indignation without any real knowledge of what was at risk. Your pride doesn't let you see that the ban on Trigglypuff was unjust and that there wasn't any justification to uphold it. And since you want to continue on your virtue signalling campaign you still haven't really done nothing. You never engaged the users that we did and condemning their behavior you stayed in the shadows and now you come here and tell us that we did and are doing nothing?
How big of you to show much full of shit you are but well I guess we will have to leave you be wont we? Because you are entitled to have your opinion for as foolish it can be.
"You won't play along with my absurd and arbitrary demands, therefore you're full of shit. Hah!"
I've no intention of playing your games or engaging further with you. I've said all I need to say to you. And clearly I've struck a nerve, based on your hysterical response.

Why have the owners of this site (whoever they are) allowed a little clique of addicts and criminals to destroy this platform?

So you decided to dodge the request I made to you here: https://voat.co/v/ProtectVoat/3250302/18922476

Well done, you've shown your true colors.

Burn in hell. You certainly deserve it.
