Guys,
You make me laugh. You make all of us laugh. But after the last talk had with @freshmeat we looked into what he said about manipulation and wondered if something was really there to see. Even (as much as it can be difficult to admit ) @Grifter42 has been right about some of the bias Voat Inc. has shown, just for a few cheap laughs. Admittedly needed laughs, but at what cost?
We wanted to do this differently but tonight changes a lot as we are dealing with a lot of brand new users and the tech issues that go with it We are shutting down sbbh at least until @heygeorge can talk with some of the members and hopefully come to a meaningful discussion about Voat, what their intentions are, and how we can reconcile.
Thanks,
Voat

What were the problems with the SBBH mods?
I only ask because 100% of the mods for /v/GreatAwakening were SBBH mods too, up until this happened?
Does this have something to do with SBBH's brigading and karma farming?

They were shills pandering to free speech while they ran the largest vote brigade on voat which they used to silence others speech. What they would usually do is make a bunch of alt sockpuppet accounts then antagonize small and medium size subs with a few dozen to a few thousand subscribers. They wanted the moderators to overreact and ban them so they could cry censorship and "muh voat values" to random voaters that didn't what they were doing then they would run back to /v/protectvoat with their sockpuppets and lobby the admins Putt and Atko to demod the people they ran a psyop against. They sucked up to the admins for years so they could get away with this behavior.
Most of sbbh's enemies are concentrated on /v/anontalk and miscellaneous small subs they harassed over the years.

They also farm upvotes on each other's submissions to circumvent the "voting meanie" rule that prevents downvote brigading.
