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 don't understand what you mean by a voat civil war was in the making? What is/was happening?
PuttItOut ago
You'll see it if it happens. I think Voat's a bit wiser these days so I'm hopeful it won't happen.

I wish I knew what to look out for so I could try to help.

Trust me if a Voat Civil war breaks out you’d know about it. The entire front page would be full.
DintDoNothin ago
Can someone just explain to me what exactly a vote Civil War is?
Native ago
To be fair I’m not sure either. The Crensch drama a few days ago would be a mild example of it with baseless accusations against another power user Zyklon. That pissed off a lot of people

You know I noticed zyklon hasn't posted in this thread. I wonder why.
Native ago
He probably agrees. He isn't as unstable as his persona leads other users to believe.
Goys-R-Us ago
I get a laugh out of him occasionally and that's about it. Crensch's post about Z was interesting though following drama on voat doesn't really interest me.
I will say I think gabara and his gang brigade all the time and I don't see put banning him. This place is going downhill I think. I asked putt for clarification on this statement which I've not gotten:
How the hell is arguing with someone over a number of days manipulation? It appears the rules will be arbitrary and enforced by "builders" as decided by putt. All good things come to an end I guess. I hope I'm wrong.

It's a myth. SDBH and SBBH have this mythos status on Voat and i'm going to put you in on the secret. They are just power users. It only looks like they are briggading because they are so active and constantly on voat.
Goys-R-Us ago
No, it's not. I pissed off gabara close to when I created this account (been around since whoaverse) and immediately I got downvoted into oblivion on every single post I had made previous to making a snarky comment to him. He has a gang (that or he has a bunch of alts) that downvotes people he doesn't like. Personally I think he's close to retarded but that's just me. I fully expect another brigade if he comes across this post.
Native ago
Yeah i'm perma banned on SBBH and i haven't ever even posted there.
go to v/soapdoxbanhammer it's a much friendlier place (and we can post Nickelback!)
