Ban (and delete all posts of) Impersonation Accounts (ProtectVoat)

submitted ago by Tallest_Skil

Many new accounts have been created which exist solely to impersonate existing accounts on Voat. This is done to libel said accounts, to damage their appearance in the minds of other users, and to purposely cause confusion between the statements of the real and fake accounts. This sows dissent and distrust within the userbase. Purposely.

Fake Account Name (Real Account Name)

There are probably more. These are just the ones I’ve managed to NOTICE. Their purpose is to not BE noticed, just to slide in undetected and be the opposite of what the real account is, making it impossible for anyone to know what anyone else really believes. And then, of course, these subhuman faggots:

This is already a Voat rule. You have never been able to create an account that looks like the username of another account. It just needs to be enforced. We need the website owner to pretend like he gives one flying fuck about any of us, come back for one day, and do it. Then he can fuck back off to his private shtel (or whatever he got out of the deal that sold us out to his ✡angel✡) without a care in the world.

Aside: We also have someone who may be using concurrent accounts, which is either vote/content manipulation (against the rules), merely using them concurrently (against the rules) or could simply be another case of impersonation (against the rules).

And another one with proven concurrent accounts (and he has more than this, but I forget what they are), but this one only ever posts the same seven words of spam.

You so cute, didn't even include mine. I'm so honored.

Oh, sorry. See, I didn’t see all of them. Proves how well they work. This is also thread where anyone who has their own and which ISN’T listed should post links to them.

I've already posted about this on /v/voatdev. You should piggy back on that.

yeah, but we have no moderation, at least as far as I can tell

if someone posted kiddie porn or a doxx document right now, it would stay up indefinitely (until whatever host was used yanked it, if there was a host)
