Most of you are discerning enough to see past the spam and realize that @Puttitout is telling us to unmask our users and heavily moderate the subverse while citing complaints from the spammers brigading our community. Consider that our subverse is marked as NSFW and has anonymous turned on which prevents our content from hitting v/all. We have secluded ourselves in a dark corner of the site and followed all the rules set forth by Voat admins. With that in mind we are announcing QRP as the official backup to v/QRV. See you there.

Edit: Apparently it does show in v/all, deal with it

OR the mods could just do their jobs and removed the porn spam/off topic content. This isn't just a "Puttitout is out to get us" situation. The mods aren't doing any moderating whatsoever. Stop playing the victim and properly moderate the subverse.

The idea that we have to remove what is not technically spam according to the site rules and the idea that we have to moderate what is and is not considered 'on-topic' is a strawman that flies in the face of what this site is supposedly about. We don't have to pick, our userbase is smart enough to choose what they do and don't want. We moderate the sub exactly how we want to, within the limits of what the sites rules deem acceptable, and within the legal boundaries of what is legal in the jurisdictions that matter. We already cleaned up after Putts inability to make basic rules like 'Dont Upvoat Farm', we've done what we can, we enforce the rules that we have. We will ride this bitch until we can't and when we can't we will head to Poal and when we get banned from there we will just keep on keeping on because this ride never stops.

It's sad that this happened to this subverse. The real answer is for people to move or create an alternative. It's on Q for pointing people to a sub that could get taken over. Its not on putt to interfere with his communities. It's on Q for not realizing how much more easily voat anon boards are taken over. You only really need 2 accounts and then one person could completely cripple a sub.
Say it's a popular member of voat that has a ton of karma, they could easily take the downvotes. What if it's one of the bot accounts doing it? It gets infinitely easier the more people that are in on it.
I've always been against the way anon boards worked. I thought putt said he was going to add a way to tell if someone is samefagging in the threads. Thatd be a littlr something he could do about it.

The downvotes neither matter nor count in anon subverses.

Oh yeah forgot about that.

It’s a very important point. This allows non-contributors and actors to easily game this subverse.

Well... they already kind of are, thats what this is all about.

What I’m saying is the example of a ‘popular Voater’ having special power here misleads, by suggesting the cancer lives outside the patient.

I guess thats an issue too, yeah. I don't care for any of the decoder faggots that try to make a name for themselves. Just post your shit, I don't care who you are.
I still think the samefagging detection would be a good thing to have. 8chans got it so why can't we.
