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.

Hey @PuttItOut, what about @Empress and her stewardship of /v/TraditionalWives? Goes a long way to showing women just how fulfilling and rewarding those "outdated gender roles" can be.

For sure, we have a lot of builders. We will not forget them. This is just the latest builders imo.

Boss of all the people within this site know who has t caused any drama?
Seriously when all the people attacked her and called her a tranny she NEVER allowed them to see her weak?
@empress and from my own experience it shows quite a lot of not only the community supports her, but the admin. She didn’t even get pissed when they copied her sub and made it a shit show. She laughed about it.
People don’t fuck with her because they know it won’t do anything. The ones you listed save the last person are riddled with drama and strife, and will continue to be an issue for you. That is what is referred to in the business world as a liability that would be wise to steer clear of with associated ties.
I want to see this place successfully make it and that means you as well, because you own it (I think).
Maybe you think longevity means the world, but it doesn’t. All it means is they found a place to make home.
Do or don’t listen to me. All I will ever care about is the site and it’s future.
PuttItOut ago
I try to listen to everyone but it helps if you just flat out say what you have to say. Leaving things open to interpretation takes too much time.
Just say it. Tell me I'm wrong, tell me what you hate, be forward about it. I'll listen and consider, and have often changed my mind if I find I wasn't thinking straight in the beginning.

I get you try, but your best isn’t good enough anymore.
About time you choose others to help you now. These fucking trolls and attacks won’t stop anytime soon.
Your handling of sanegoatiswear back in the day was just the best. I clapped for your response.
However this praise for people that consistently make drama makes it look like a clicky thing to be within the circle.
Look I don’t know the solution for ya either. Seems to be that you have done good so far. No offense but atko was better and far more engaging with the user base, and I know you are busy.
Thing is that doesn’t matter. Your presence means quite a fucking lot when you comment on a thread. People here love you for this place. Don’t be a ghost.
I address you with respect because this is your house and while some things I don’t agree with I do respect you.
PuttItOut ago
That's fair and correct. @Atko was much better at community management than myself.
I purposefully have taken a hands off approach, and will continue to do so as much as possible. I'm writing software to this end as well.
We will do an old fashioned sane smack down if need be.
AR47 ago
Boss you can do better. I know you can because I have seen it from you.
I get why you stay at a distance. I remember when you did the discord for development and he kept spamming shit. Shit was repulsive and it isn’t often, but I still really hope karma fucks him with a rake and then drowns him in a syphlis tsunami.
Just a vile person is all they were.
I have no doubt you would put the smack down if you needed too.
PuttItOut ago
I can do better in almost every way. Truth.
But consider this... Voat would not be here if it wasn't for me. I say this not to boast, it's simply the absolute undeniable truth. I could have walked, and have felt like walking, many times.
Sometimes we have to appreciate the imperfect.

Too bad you are gonna see anyways

What you think I should do?
PuttItOut ago
I think you should help me arm up, that's what I think.

Assuming you don’t live within a fucked it state and are within the USA I would be happy to help you make a firearm.
You tell me a budget and your level of aptitude with a drill press and metal work and we can work from that.
I focus on AR builds and someday I will make an AR10, but currently I am kinda limited by funds to make the one I want, and I need my “carry pistol” AR15 for November 1st
We have constitutional carry going into effect here in Oklahoma.
I will make another 7.62x39 but a pistol this time and name it my AK-KK lol paint it all white and shit too.

Skippy I have made 6AR lowers, and 4 glocks so far. Even got me a stamp ad made a suppressor.
It’s my squirrel gun.
Don’t even use the glocks really, but I got them before the lowers went through the roof in price. Pretty much all you want to make is AR platforms. Just cheaper if you know what I mean.
Also fuck ever putting in another channel liner in a Glock ever again.
AR47 ago
Oh I am very well aware of how many times you could have walked, and that is because you told us over and over again like it mattered.
Nigger you are stuck with us and we with you.
I can’t think of a better way myself. I won’t lie I would have left. I am not the type to try and bring more drama into my existence. Don’t get me wrong in that I have always been like that. Shit I used to fight back with words on here like it mattered all the fucking time.
I realized that they don’t care because they will come right into your house and wipe their ass with the curtains. They can’t help it anymore than these morons on Live PD can. (Great show by the way) I love watching impoverished minority’s getting the shit beat out of them for 2hrs a day.
Really just makes me bask in my privilege.
Well you do you boss. Wanna see what I will be doing for Memorial Day?
PuttItOut ago
Lmao. Yeah, it's like a married couple that each find each other unattractive in ways. I can't stop laughing.
How many times have I said we are all in this together?
Yes, I do want to see. Hopefully it involves being a builder (sticking to the theme here).

That FDE is my “thumper” a 7.62x39 AR15 with a 16in barrel and boy is she a mean bitch
The black one is my sons. He is 10 and loves it
That blue one is my wife’s AR pistol.
A 5.56 with a 10.5in barrel.
I assembled all and made the lowers for the black one and the blue one. She painted them and my son helped me mill the lowers as well as assemble last 4th of July. We both talked about the 2nd amendment and it’s purpose
