I literally couldn't care less about QRV. Zero. Nada.
Here is a run down on the QRV situation. Lot of rumors.
I was receiving and annoyingly large volume of PMs from sweet innocent people that have had their world shaken by some of the abuse.
Had great relationships with QRV mods so far, but noticed that all the mods I've ever talked with weren't there this time. These new mods were all under 15 CCP, some at zero. Weird. Figured they have no idea how to mod, figured switching out of anon so the users could block the spammers was the easiest solution to decrease the abuse, so I decided to send a message to the subverse mods suggesting switching.
They threw me under the bus. PM chain they posted
Now I'm threatening to deplatform them apparently.
This is Reddit 2.0 they declare!
I don't have time for this.
I sent them a follow up PM a day or two later being nice (They won't screen shot that one).
And that is the real QRV story.
Sunday Sticky Day! And sorry @heygeorge

I'm steering clear of QRV, but in fairness, QRV is set as NSFW so if users want to post legal NSFW there, I don't see a problem. It's not my fault the QRV mods suck. When they came here I warned them about that NSFW flag combined with anon.

I don't get this idea of voat wanting or even calling for moderation. Its why most of us are even here in the first place because of over moderation. This site was nice 2-3 years ago, now you're all calling for mods. wtf

A massive wave of new users joins Voat.
They begin posting non-related bullshit and propaganda, downvoating absolutely everyone that isn’t them, and soon, everything you can see on Voat, regardless of your sorting filter, is nothing but them.
Still no mods?

What users are you talking about? What specific example are you talking about or are you posing a hypothetical?
TestForScience ago
To the full extent, it’s a hypothetical.
However, it has been proven in smaller sizes several times.
The TD migration that lasted a couple weeks,
The initial Q migration, taking a little more than a month to settle down a bit,
The v/aww purge,
And now, the mass bans.

The_D didn't last very long everyone(voat) instantly got on the defense so there was that, q guys just put it in anon and stayed to their sub, I don't remember much about the /aww purge I think they were spamming gore or porn, so they got banned.. The mass bans? he just said he was a mistake from poor code. So none of those were really worth getting putt involved. If the sub has rules they get to enforce them as is their right(like v/aww did), trying to enforce rules on a sub because of a hecklers veto isn't moderation. Just my 2 cents.

The Q people tried branching out very heavily at first, mass upvoating each other to be able to post unlimitedly, thus, gaming the system.
The aww thing brought out BS just like the content of the post that we're commenting on right now, with people getting all shitty about being told to follow the VERY few rules that we have.
Saying 'a hecklers veto' downplays the amount and severity of the multiple people starting all this shit, dude.

Yeah they tried to game the system because they wanted to post, got shit on then put it in anon. I didn't get involved too much into the v/aww shit I wasn't really concerned with all the retarded drama by that point. I don't believe saying hecklers veto really downplays it mainly because putt only responded because people were messaging him a lot about it. I feel like we have some sufficient protections in order thats what v/protectvoat is for. What more do people want?
