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.

@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.

good vs evil white vs black God vs Satan creation vs destruction
...
as I've said a few times in my life to others it's so hard to bring something good into this world and so easy to slowly tear it down (the history of Christianity is a very good example)
to me it's a no brainer...I'd much bather be a builder than a destroyer...maybe that's why I ended up as a carpenter?!

Imaginary friends that don't exist cannot face off in battle.

whatever your deeper meaning is goes right over my head...no, I'm not insulting you, but considering I at the very least used creation vs. destruction (is that imaginary???) as a reference I again miss your point.
sure, one can argue God and Satan being imaginary, and good vs. evil (sure, just a frame of reference (e.g. what is good to one person is evil to another)), but making things is certainly not imagination

Nah, there is genuine evil in the world. St Augustine (I think) defined evil as an absence of good. Maybe just semantic bs but it's as good a definition as any I think.
Imagine a heart that has grown completely cold to suffering. Evil.
