I literally couldn't care less about QRV. Zero. Nada.

Which is why something as simple as enforcing your own rules against brigading and spamming subs isn't happening in QRV, and pissing people off.

QRV doesn't brigade spam other subs. Maybe that needs to change, to put it into perspective for the people who continually brigade spam QRV. After all, why the fuck should QRV give a shit about spam/brigade rules, when basic forum rules are not enforced?

Look at this thread here. See how many Q hating assholes are in here? Obviously, some people sure as hell care about QRV.

So here is my simple idea to help the situation: Block every Q hating asshole in this thread (and their alt accounts) from QRV. Easy way to end half the spam brigade problems right there.

Why not just block QRV? Clearly nobody wants this shitmess.

Give them their web space but segregate it from the rest.

We used to do this with retards before the PC era. The old ways were good or we wouldn’t be here

That's pretty much exactly what I was saying. Block QRV from those who have openly stated that they want nothing to do with QRV. There are plenty of people right here in this thread who openly state they don't want QRV. So why not block them at the IP level from posting in, or even looking at QRV? That alone would end a lot of the brigade spamming.

That would take all of two minutes to cure.

Well how else is Voat supposed to deal with spam brigading? That's the root of the issue here.

It's difficult. If you're talking about QRV specifically, being an anon sub means only admins could deal with it, after getting reports from the mods. The whole point of an anon sub is to make trolling easy and virtually consequence-free. Either the users would have to downvote it, the admins would have to be willing to mod the sub for them, or they need to remove the anonymity. The other option is to ignore it.
