The Builder - A Voat Update Part 1 (Voat)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

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 personally was amazed of seeing that virge guy that deletes his posts and comment history just for the sake of not letting others see how much of a full of shit he is... @MadWorld... what are your thoughts on this?

We have seen his comments that were full of shit and the moments where he doubled down and deleted the threads. The earliest comment I could remember was the similar narrative, where he said Voat's canary was compromised and that he was leaving Voat. But he left a good number of comments intact. After returning to Voat, his strategy has been to delete his comments/submissions regularly and only leave the persona he wanted others to see. Based on his habit, he will likely delete those new comments/submissions again. If it is something notable, it is best to archive it.

Just noticed that he got a new badge. I supposed that his "What you missed on Voat today" was quite beneficial to Voat; it was a good concept. But I seriously doubt that he could sustain it, unless something was done to automate the process.

Think of it this way, even dishonest or bad people have some good ideas. When good culture is maintained, good ideas will climb to the top! That bad character will become irrelevant... Maybe someday we will become irrelevant too, but the good ideas we leave behind will live on...

You should definitely get a builder badge. I've actually seen pictures of you building things which is more than I can say for most goats.

Meh I honestly don't agree with what you said about @srayzie. But I guess we have to agree to disagree. I am however displeased with the way the ban took place because it seems that at least one user that I know got banned when he only has one account. So I can't see how vote manipulation takes place there... guess I need more data on this shit.

What exactly don't you agree with ?

She did ban users out of sheer vindictiveness

She is responsible for Crensch's gaslighting post (not saying ZB is innocent, but those 2 posts were logical fallacies on top of logical fallacies) because she's the one who's been playing victim after feeding the troll and ignoring warnings from many users.

Which user? We unbanned some last night. I found that the users who our names replaced from the css changes didn’t mean that person was necessarily responsible. It was only one person responsible for that.
