I posted The Builder thread about a week ago. It has deep significance in life as a whole, give it a read if you haven't.
The past few days/weeks, and slightly below the radar of most, a Voat civil war was in the making. Long story short, because of incredible people, it appears that the earth won't be scorched (this may not age well ;) ).
So I'm going to highlight those I've noticed building instead of destroying. Man is meant to build, to create, it's God-Like and of the highest order.
Most Recent Notable Builders
@kevdude is a builder. He exemplified wisdom and maturity while still standing up for his underlying principles. Builder!
@srayzie is a builder. She has shown assertiveness and stood a firm ground despite facing a potential countless enemy. She has also created and maintained a subverse that her users highly value for nearly 1.5 years. Builder!
@virge is a builder. He? saw a gap in Voat's functionality and fulfilled it with the "What you missed on Voat today" submissions. Many users very much like what he has started. Builder!
I think I'm going to create a Builder badge to start highlighting those of us that build instead of destroy. This badge will come with special perks because builders deserve to be rewarded.
Let's hope the builders remain builders and continue building.
Edit
So I looked up the downvotes on this submission out of curiosity. Most all are destroyers. Many of which will be banned shortly for previous vote manipulation. Interesting isn't it that those that abuse Voat also hate seeing this thread.

I kind of ruined his builder post with my chinese fable
TheBuddha ago
Good!
Also, I'm late. I'm not technically late, but I'm later than I intended.
crazy_eyes ago
are you at the venue
TheBuddha ago
Nope!
We have a band going on before us, so I'll have to soundcheck anyhow. I don't really need to be there until 21:00. It's about a 2 hour trip, but I can shave 30 minutes off that.
crazy_eyes ago
you should be able to shave more than 30 minutes off !
TheBuddha ago
That's actually keeping my average speed at about 72 MPH. ;-)
crazy_eyes ago
I'm sure you could average more than that without any trouble
TheBuddha ago
Not without serious risk. The roads are twisty and tourists are coming. Tourist Season opens today, except we can't shoot them.
crazy_eyes ago
Oh, I guess I dont know the path you're taking
TheBuddha ago
It's fairly well maintained curvy mountain roads. My trip will be entirely through this end of the Appalachian mountain range.
It's okay. My HUD tells me if there are animals on the side of the road and my car has very bright headlights. $50 says I don't bump into anything!
crazy_eyes ago
Sounds like a fun ride
TheBuddha ago
More so as I don't need to worry about a passenger, nor will I have any distractions.
I'm out of here. I kinda want to be there before 21:00. This gives me plenty of time, but I'm still gonna drive like a madman. That's why I bought the car!
It'll also give me a giant adrenaline rush, if I go fast enough. That'll get me in the mood for tonight. I've got 2 hours of mostly GnR dialed in and ready to play at ear-splitting volumes, 'cause damn doesn't this car have a beautiful sound system!
I'll TRY to check in, but I may not do so tonight.
Take care of the guitar thread for me! She's getting to be an old girl and might be fragile!
crazy_eyes ago
I'm going to put the old girl through the wringer tonight!

crazy_eyes ago
Thank you!
Artofchoke ago
Wtf, I didn't see a chinese fable. Share!
crazy_eyes ago

You're welcome!
