I know many of you have been wondering what happened to your benevolent, patient, wise, beautiful (women can verify this), intelligent, and most of all kind hearted and loving administrator. It is only by the hand of God that I’m here to tell the story.
Nearly 10 months ago I entered a contest to taste test COVID-18. COVID-18 was a secret hot sauce developed by the Chinese and they planned to use it to put Tabasco out of business (damn communists).
An unfortunate thing happened during the taste test. The Chinese use hot sauce on bat wings. COVID-18 was so strong that when used on bat wings, it bonded with the bat wing blood and formed COVID-19. We basically unknowingly ate COVID-19. The positive side is that it tasted great.
It’s been a constant chore to stay ahead of the virus (it’s round so it rolls very fast and is hard to get away from). The only known cure isn’t a cure at all, it is simply a deterrent.
Toilet paper.
Scientists have found that if you surround yourself in a giant fort of toilet paper and tie it together with baby wipes it takes the power away from COVID-19. I built the largest toilet paper castle I could. NASA says you can see it from space.
I recommend each of you go out and buy as much toilet paper as possible and bury yourself underneath it. Toilet paper is an unlimited and cheap resource available to us all so no excuses.
I’m still recovering but I’ll try to get back and ban a few people soon (I see you rabble-rousers).
P.S. COVID-18 is perfectly safe on chicken wings and it’s better than Tabasco. Fact.
P.P.S. I hope it doesn’t rain soon.

So...more jokes and dancing around issues instead of addressing them?

Each time it gets more and more unhinged, too.
Although, it's a good way to deal with the usual sparring with users. Typically it boils over quickly, he gets angry, and goes back to Galt mode silence.
Maybe this new approach will see him stick around longer.

It’s a lot of pressure.
Free speech and dgaf. that’s all there is to it. This isn’t a community, it’s a platform.

A lot of these people can't be reasoned with and think the sole admin of one of the most controversial sites on the web owes them an explanation for everything that happens on a place they get to visit for free.
That being said, it would be nice to know what, if anything, will happen now that PIA is owned by Israelis, but @putitout doesn't owe us anything.
Being a site admin is a thankless job to begin with, much less being the site admin of a place where a significant portion of the user base thinks everything in the world is a Jewish plot against them personally, and tend to lash out against any perceived threats like a bunch of whiney entitled bitches instead of sucking it up like men.

Personally, I don't want an explanation for everything. But I don't think it's too much to ask to have an admin who actually logs in and handles shit every once in a while. Instead, he disappears for months on end and then logs on to crack a joke, then disappears again. It just seems like he doesn't care to deal with the issues some users would like addressed, which is one of the parts of being an admin. If he can't manage that, or if he's too busy, or whatever, then fine, but at least put someone else in charge who can handle things when he's not around.
LexOrandiLexCredendi ago
Yeah, it would be nice.
As the saying goes: Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster.

To be fair, Voat gets more and more unhinged as time goes on.
Honk honk, I guess.

And here I was thinking it's been relatively calm lately...?
Tsilent_Tsunami ago
You must have the Q subs blocked.
we_kill_creativity ago
No actually, I don't, and I participate in the daily. If they bother you so much, or even at all...why don't you block them...?
Tsilent_Tsunami ago
It takes more than most can give to get me to block out reality.

They’ve banned every other legitimate user on the entire website. The reasons are always “Other” or “you’re unpopular so you’re banned” or “you put pronouns on your panties.” None are legitimate ban reasons on this website. And yet you’re still allowed to contribute there.
Hmm.
we_kill_creativity ago
Which Q sub are you talking about specifically? QRV, greatawakening?
Well you're obviously implying that I'm somehow "in on it" in regards to some vague Q plot going on with the Q related subs, so quit being bashful about it and just state in plain terms what you think is going on and how you think I'm related to it. I can save you time though, I'm not.
You can look at my post and commenting habits and then check out my CCP scores etc. You'll see that I've been here for five years, I'm a fairly popular commenter all over Voat, I post somewhat regularly but not a whole lot...
I've been participating on Voat long before Q was even a thing and I haven't noticed a substantial change in the "mood" of Voat since the Q subs came here. From what I've witnessed there's very little cross over between "original Voat" and the Q subs, except...
...people like you who comment in QRV "ARRESTS OR GTFO!!!!" all the time trying to annoy away a group of people who largely don't even care about the rest of Voat enough to participate, let alone "ruin it"...
Tallest_Skil ago
Fuck, I keep forgetting about the other ones. GA, yeah. Are you banned from that one?
Yeah, I actually remember you. Seemed odd, is all.
fuckinghell ago
I was thinking in general but you're right, things have been pretty calm the last couple of months.
DOD-AgentThyme ago
Better keep those ear plugs in for what's about to happen.
we_kill_creativity ago
I don't follow...?
Tallest_Skil ago
20 day old account and the only thing it has even said is that comment. You can just ignore everything it says.
fuckinghell ago
Oh yeah?
