Just remember wherever Sguevar is, WhiteRonin (or is it DarkRaven these days?) is always close-by.

Interesting that you bring up DarkRaven. That user has recently attempted to draw me into some dumb bullshit on that aboutvoat sub or whatever it's called. I just asumed it was another alt of zyklon_reee. As for PV, I unsubscribed the other day and really don't see a purpose for this sub moving forward once @PuttItOut implements the Community Vote feature to keep power mods in check by allowing the members the option to remove them. I'd think I'd like to see him implement some form of vote transparency as well. I think that would help cut down on a lot of fuckery around here.

DarkRaven types in the same excited exclamations as WhiteRonin. I'm sure the similarities in naming formatting is just a coincidence.

Hmm, you might be on to something judging by the downvotes, lol. I never paid any attention to that guy because he never had much of anything interesting to say aside from ramping up the hate machine. It's also interesting how some people get so triggered over the idea of a little transparency in the voting process.

"But muh votes might be used to dox me!"

Nah, it will just expose the fucking manipulators for what they are. Funny to see them get so triggered over it, though. I hope @PuttItOut actually takes it under consideration given the opposition to the idea from the usual suspects.

I strongly believe voting transparency is the only thing that frightens those who hide behind multiple accounts, those who coordinate voting as a group, and those who say one thing but their votes say another. It wasn't until this post that the daily downnvote brigade began following me around trying to censor me like you see today. What a (((coincidence))).

I agree. Reddit went the opposite way and hid downvotes from public view which only made it easier for the manipulators to run rampant. It doesn't even need to be a global feature and maybe it shouldn't be. I do think that an individual should have the right to see who is consistently downvoting them time after time though. So many people have been driven away from Voat simply because someone disagreed with them and proceeded to hammer them with alts. That is censorship.

Kinda curious to see how all this turns out because I don't think the people who think they are winning are actually winning.

I'll ping you in the future with this comment for a mutual laugh, because I know some things most don't. ;)
