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 disagree with giving a "Builder Badge" or any other kind of distinctive marker given to a poster. If you look at my stats, you will find that I participate in discussions -- sometimes in a very wacked out, freaky, manner considering that I light an effigy to Chulthu every day at 6:66.666 AM. The idea of a badge even the "M" given to some sets that poster apart and vulnerable to targeting. More importantly, it gives the Badge Holder a sense of self-aggrandizement to which he/she/zer/zim/it may or may not be prepared to accept. Then, that self -- etc. will devlove into the person becoming an asshole, or perhaps more of an asshole as the person is inflated with assholery and puffed up senses of self worth. Nay, I say, No Badges.
