This announcement is going to be both fun and serious. First for the fun side.
The Fun Part
After a lot of work, we have finally put something together on merchandise. We are very excited to offer two high quality items:
- December 2016 Limited Edition (DEC16) t-shirts and hoodies (even women’s cut).
- Vinyl stickers in four different formats and three sizes (including the adorable Voat Goat)
Please note that all the t-shirts and hoodies are Limited Edition releases, meaning that Voat will never release the same design again in the future. In other words, if you don’t pick one up now you won’t be able to do so in the future. Ever.
DEC16 Limited Edition Merchandise:
https://store.voat.co/official-voat-merchandise
P.S.
In order to help Voat market we are selling the sticker packs at cost. Our thoughts are that you can stick them all over and have enough to give friends.
Black Sticker Pack:
https://store.voat.co/voat-sticker-pack-black
White Sticker Pack:
https://store.voat.co/voat-sticker-pack-white
All credit to an old time Whoaverser @Zinnsee for the idea! Thank you fellow owlcat. ;)
The Serious Part
As you all know, Voat has not finalized financing. This means we are ENTIRELY user supported (from viewers like you!). This is where things get serious: If we cannot sustain operation costs via donations and merchandise our runway is limited. By purchasing Voat merchandise you help in two very important ways: It helps keep Voat running, and secondly you are helping Voat with grassroots marketing. Both are critical to our community’s future.
To save costs in production and fulfillment we will only be taking orders for a short duration on the limited-edition t-shirts and hoodies. Afterwards ordering will be closed. When the window closes, orders will be tallied, materials will be ordered, shirts and stickers will be produced (in a single run), and then shipped out. This allows for our partner on this venture (a fellow Voater) to produce in the most cost effective and efficient manner. In fact, I have to really commend our partner on this deal as he is sacrificing his profit to maximize Voat’s. He is doing this because he, like so many of us, values Free Speech.

Update as have had my account hacked. Sent email to your security and privacy email. Please respond soon for no one safe and normal, would be hacking someone's voat account..Thankyou!!
Cbradio ago
@puttitout @atko URGENT: SOMEONE has hacked and erased mynpms TWICE...this is beyond illegal, stalking, harrasment and I'm getting pissed. Has this happened before? With your tech skills, you can surely figure out what PUSSY illegal stalker thief is doing this AND all.on voat should know this crap is going on. What good is free speech if some freaking criminal is illegally entering private accounts via hacking, erasing personal data and as its TWICE its clearly stalker harrasser creepy..please assist..this is absolutely creepy and unnaceptable...what a pussy, does he steal wallets, cars, purses too?? Does free speech trigger this pussy into illegal crimes? Clearly..lil bitch.
Cbradio ago
Hey, vout owners. Had interest to buy your gearand donate; but then over ten msgs that I did screenshot; were erased in my private on. I find that very invasive and illegal. Please get to the bottom of this, for it seriously pisses me off. That's like going in ones purse, wallet or home, and if any do that, there are plenty of criminals to do that to that at least, gives it a valid purpose. Not that I ever recommend that, just stressing my point that whoever went into my account, my pm, and erased my PM's is a felony. Absolutely unacceptable and beyond creepy. Please get to the bottom of this, asap. Thank-you.
iamdink ago
i'm thinking of picking up a shirt because I like what you all are doing.
Are the voat.co founders open to keeping voat.co a non-profit site funded off user-donations? This is a bone that I've been furious with reddit over for 5 years -- I think the Conde Naste governance promotes monetization of the platform leading to the erosion of free speech.

@VoatMerch
What units are the measurements on the website in? (Trying to work out your US sizing, as I'm not American, and not sure if a S size will be too big.)
*I'm an M size in Japan, so this is actually an honest question, not JUST poking fun at Americans.
VoatMerch ago
This is the only information I could find in regards to sizing for Japan. According to this The US Small is what you would want to order. I hope this helps.

Just got a t-shirt. But I don't think I will wear it around a liberal campus.
VoatMerch ago
Great. Thanks for letting me know. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
7127315? ago
@VoatMerch What are the units and dimensions used for the clothing measurements? For instance, the Bust category for the women's small shirt simply says "16." Is this 16 inches across? Thank you!
VoatMerch ago
I have updated the women's shirt description. Please let me know if the new description helps.
VoatMerch ago
Yes. The measurements are in "inches". The Small (16") is the measurement of front chest area of garment; therefore the 16 equals size 3/5 in women's (Bust 32-34). Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Small- 3/5 (32-34 bust) ; Med- 7/9 (34-45 bust) ; Large-11/13 (36-37 bust) ; X-Large - 15/17 (38-40 bust) ; XX-Large 19/21 (41-43 bust)
PuttItOut ago
So sorry about this, don't know what the deal is but we've had a few people have issues. @VoatMerch will make sure you are good to go.
Thanks for the order.
VoatMerch ago
@Atko @PuttItOut Please PM me your order number so that I may verify you get the correct items. Thanks
VoatMerch ago
All things being equal the Heather Grey has the least amount of dyes in garment. So I'd have to say grey.

@VoatMerch - Do you read the inbox of [email protected]? I had a problem doing my checkout and I sent them an e-mail. I want to make sure I am doing it correctly. Else, give me another e-mail address I should get in touch with in order to troubleshoot my issue purchasing my items.
Thanks.
VoatMerch ago
@puttitout @atko
rottenwheel ago
@puttitout @atko - I need a response soon! I don't want to miss the Voat limited swag. I cannot purchase the items because of an odd issue on the website. I already e-mailed you to the suggested e-mail address but I haven't received any e-mail from you as of yet. Thanks in advance.
VoatMerch ago
Sorry you seem to be having an issue with the site. Please note that they are currently looking into the issue. Just to help us trouble shoot, have you tried using your phone or another computer? Sometimes various "addons" can prevent the store from working properly. If you haven't tried a different device can you help us by seeing if the issue can be replicated
rottenwheel ago
@VoatMerch - You ought to offer PayPal, BTC and Stripe payments. If there were Stripe to check out, I wouldn't be facing such issues...
rottenwheel ago
@VoatMerch - No, I haven't tried although I might try later on. I tried disabling uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger for the specific website. No dice either.
What happens is pretty easy to be explained. What I'm trying to do is check out my order already in place. There's already the billing and shipping address. Hence, I end up giving out my card number. The thing is, as soon as I submit the information, it doesn't allow me as I haven't selected the payment method which is a step prior to the card information. It doesn't matter which browser I use - either Chromium or Firefox jumps the step to select the payment information. I've tried to do it on both browsers and it does not work. In addition, I turned off those two add-ons in order to follow up your suggestions.
Can you give me another e-mail address to get in touch with you directly? Perhaps discussing this within public comments may undermine my privacy...
VoatMerch ago
@PuttItOut will be contacting you shortly. :)
rottenwheel ago
I'm afraid he hasn't been able to get in touch with me. I've verified I sent the e-mail to the correct address. This is a mess. :-( I'm so keen to get Voat merchandise and I'm this close to achieve it, then the issue comes by over and over again...

Looking to get a hoodie but what is the date the items get shipped?
VoatMerch ago
Aiming to ship Dec. 19th. According to USPS that's the cutoff date for orders to be shipped and still receive before Christmas. Hope this helps.
catslovejustice ago
First I would like to say the shirts are cute. However, after reading all the stories on pedophilia, satanism, Illuminati, etc, I am having a hard time with the idea of buying a tshirt with a goat logo w/ the 2 triangles. The shirts are cute but the logo is way too close the illuminati symbols I have been seeing a lot of. Makes me feel a tad creepy. Just sayin. Thought there maybe others feeling the same way.

I got the hoodie last time and was a bit disappointed. It cost me around $80 Aus. including shipping to Australia and international banking fees. This is very expensive for a hoodie but I figured it was going to a website I use a bit so didn’t mind. The image on it started coming off after the first wash and has since half disappeared after around 5 washes. With shipping and international payment fees this one will come in around $85-95. I prefer the images on this one but not going to spend that high price on a jumper of poor quality again. Perhaps I can print my own jumper locally (around $50 for a good quality hoodie with custom printed image) and give Voat a donation instead (Around $20 aus making the hoodie around $70 aus. in total). I know this most likely can’t be an option but if this is an option would we be able to get a copy of the images?
VoatMerch ago
I understand your concern and it sounds justified, please note I didn't process the last order. I can tell you that the reason inks come off (crack and peel) is due to the plastisol ink NOT reaching 350 degrees for at least 60 seconds (that's the min time it takes for the inks to cure). I use an oven that's 16 feet long. Rest assured by the time it comes out the other side it's hit the 350(60).
For future reference. If you purchase a shirt (from anywhere) and find that it's starting to flake. Turn it inside out (very important) and run and iron over the image for a few minutes. That should cause the ink to cure and properly bond to the garment. Hope this helps.
WeekendBaker ago
Awesome tips!
l23r ago
They should have had a black fat trans gay guy who voted for Hillary in the hoodie, just to cover all the bases (I donno of any anti-trans or anti-gay groups on Voat, but I think one of the anti-Tumblr groups should cover that "good" enough)

So you won't tell us where the money is coming from, and you won't tell us where the money is going, but none of that matters because hey, shirts! And stickers! Who cares about financial transparency when you have sweet merchandise to buy!
I don't know why I'm disappointed, this is pretty par for the course for internet communities.

Are the stickers just for this month too or are they a permanent item in the shop?

The stickers are indeed meant for long term use. I've found the longer the decal is on the object, the harder it is to remove.

Oh man, you capitalized "transparency". You goats are getting creative now.I get that this is an important point and I'm not trying to detract from it I just find the repeated use of the same phrase amusing

and we got downvoated for all the fee-fee butthurt!!!!
voat's sjw pv sbbh cabal is weak today
7081659? ago
It doesn't help your cause when you call out your downvoaters for being PV or sbbh (don't you mean sdbh? sbbh is just shitposting), etc. Stick to arguments and evidence (which you have enough of, like the @p0ssum case, which has alerted me), and people will be less likely to dv. Or maybe they still will, but people will view that dving as illegitimate because you are acting with mature and rational argument instead of alarmist rhetoric.

Were the shirt designs the same as the hoodie designs from the first run? If so, the VOAT on the back was coloured with the same scheme as the alpha logo; I cherish it as a memento.

My shirt is just blue with the goat on the front and nothing on the back.

Oh, weird I couldn't remember. My hoodie has the VOAT logo (without the ugly "alpha" text overlayed), but the V is the lighter purple so whenever I wear it I'm reminded of the alpha days, not so long past.

except for the following: -ccp account restrictions, post sub timing restrictions per hour and per day and not faster than every 30 seconds, voting restrictions 0.5 votes per 1 ccp in 24 hours, - - all on ALL accounts, and even greater restrictions on new accounts and generally on accounts other people haven't upvoated much - - and certain topics will get you admin-approved downvoat and shill brigade against you... and more, and more on the way!!
voat has freeze peach not free speech
7079997? ago
Sane you're not sane. This constant hounding is borderline irrational at this point. CCP restrictions help combat shills and do not infringe upon free speech whatsoever. The timing restrictions are just that--restrictions, and they also help combat spam. They do not infringe upon anyone's ability to post content; they might just slow you down.
Are the One True Putt and Atko not allowed to downvote, or are you saying they endorse or encourage brigading? They've done well to combat brigading in the past.
HomerSimpson ago
I mean. That is still a limit to free speech. Just because there is cause to it. Same argument can be used about "Why are you worried about the NSA spying if you have nothing to hide"
7080178? ago
See I don't think it's the same argument. I'm not saying I don't care about free speech because I have nothing to say; that would be a similar situation. I have plenty to say and on Voat I am able to say it. Those I agree with, those I disagree with, everyone, in other words, is able to have their say on Voat, irrespective of the CCP restrictions or timing limits. They inhibit nothing, they only slow some things down. Those are limits anyone should be willing to accept if they keep us from drowning in a sea of spam and shilling.
HomerSimpson ago
Let me use a better example then shall I?
What was the first speech cut down in Europe? Hate speech I say. Because hate doesn't make thee free. Hate makes thee a bigot and we should not allow such vile speech.
What was the second speech they came for? Dissent I say. Because what does a man have to say against a king? A queen? Nothing I say.
Speech is not free with limitations of what you can say. So if those with negative CCP can't speak because of their hate, their dissent. Then speech is not free to speak.
7080481? ago
Okay I think I misunderstood was Sane was talking about. When he mentioned CCP account restrictions I thought he was talking about the need for 100 CCP to be able to upvoat and downvoat. I didn't see how that influenced freedom of speech.
But you're saying that users with negative CCP can't post? This is news to me and I would like to discuss it further if it's true.
What are the circumstances that lead to one being unable to post? Any negative CCP at all?
I think the idea is that only spammers are supposed to accrue enough downvoats to reach that threshold, but we all know too many people use downvoats as disagree buttons so that system would never work.
@SaneGoatiSwear I apologize, I think I misunderstood you.
SaneGoatiSwear ago
see p0ssum for details
he's a long time user well-hated on voat, got dv'd to restrictions
something like a few posts/comments per 10 days or something....
but just pay attention to the pv sbbh sjw cabal downvoat brigading
don't pay attention to what i'm saying!!

7081261? ago
I respect you for your devoted efforts toward pursuing truth and advocating for transparency and true freedom. Sometimes I just feel you act like the boy who cried wolf. If you doubt the validity of everything, if you're never satisfied, it makes is difficult for some of us to take you seriously.
p0ssum ago
Cannot post and can only leave 10 comments a day. Ask away what do you want to know?
7081044? ago
How recently was this tested? And they cannot post any submissions anywhere, or only in certain subverses?
p0ssum ago
Daily. It says I can post three times a day, but I've never been able to. Created a few alts to post stories, but otherwise I just dont participate.
7081348? ago
That's shitty. I'll make a post in /v/whatever tomorrow about this if I remember.
p0ssum ago
Thank you sir, if not for me, for the others that follow.
7093203? ago
Doesn't seem that well-received so far
p0ssum ago
I'm not sure it ever will be, they really enjoy the echo chamber they have created. And really, that's OK I just think it's important that it gets pointed out every now and again. One of my themes is to bust into their little echo chamber with the truth every now and then.
HomerSimpson ago
I tested it awhile ago on an alt account and if you got -1 points on your first comment you can't comment anymore. Or negative CCP in total.
I don't remember the account I used to test this so I can't link. Buty I made a post on /v/protectvoat then made a single submission on /v/voatdev @kevdude may remember it?
7080760? ago
It's just that this is a slippery slope if it is as you guys are making it out to be. If leftists on Voat as it is today simply posted their views, and those comments received standard disagree votes, those users would effectively be censored.
Likewise, if in the future more of reddit is red-pilled and they start coming over here, then the userbase would be largely left-leaning as time went on, and then if right-leaning Voaters mae posts, those posts would be disagree-downvoated and the older users would be effectively censored.
It's just I've never heard anything about such limitations until now.
p0ssum ago
Trust me its real. I was brigaded by ReportCTR to the tune of thousands of downvaots. At one time I had well over 2k karma, but because I didn't gobble Trumps knob I was mercilessly brigaded.
7081071? ago
I remember you with CCP in the thousands, you're a familiar user to me. This is exactly why these kinds of limitations worry me. You should be able to post your ideas without repercussions (assuming there is no illegal/immoral content (e.g. CP) or inciting of violence). Voat tends to be right-leaning so you being downvoated does not surprise me. You being downvoated for opinions should not cost you, though.
p0ssum ago
No doubt. downvoats are expected, restrictions are not, expecially in a case like this where i made obvious contributions, but apparently I,m too dangerous to be allowed to speak my mind. The hivemind here is awful.

I like the stickers but the shirts look kinda dumb - the plain goat from the stickers on a shirt I would buy in a heart beat
l23r ago
I like the idea of the backwards VOAT and the ass of the goat showing, but the only criticism I have is that it makes advertising the site not so easy. People might think it is actually "taov" :(

Eta on plushie Voat Goat?

That's the wrong spell noob

Uhh, uhhhh...expectus patronum?
VoatMerch ago
You summoned me? Just to make sure you saw my earlier post. "all in due time".
WhoFramedReaderRabit ago
I second this idea
SaneGoatiSwear ago
except for the following:
-ccp account restrictions, accounts with -ccp have massive restrictions
-posting restrictions. post sub timing restrictions per hour and per day and not faster than every 30 seconds
-voting restrictions. 0.5 votes per 1 ccp in 24 hours,
- - all on ALL accounts,
- - and even greater restrictions on new accounts and generally on accounts other people haven't upvoated much
- - and certain topics will get you admin-approved downvoat and shill brigade against you... and more!
- - and the admins say more on the way!!
voat has freeze peach not free speech
(taking your comment because downvoat brigade's trying to silence me lol)
SkepticalMartian ago
If this place was really about "free speech" it wouldn't have any kind of moderation at all.
SaneGoatiSwear ago
i keep sayin' it :\
"freeze peach" on voat, not free speech.
l23r ago
The restrictions are to stop shills from coming in and being able to stir the shit pot (as easily at least) If you come on the site and use it like a normal person, you should be able to get enough upvoats to have full access in no time at all, especially if you are involved with one of the "ex" Reddit groups (like Pizzagate, FPH, Coontown, etc.)
SaneGoatiSwear ago
lol.
and the TSA is to stop people like terrorists.
HeavyBrain ago
You are free to start your own forum with no restrictions at all.
SaneGoatiSwear ago
and if you can't handle what i have to say,
so are you
HeavyBrain ago
How I can not handle?
You are the one pissing allover the place, all I did is remind you that there is a way to fix the stuff you dislike about voat.
7093131? ago
I think you'd be better off focusing on the first point; I think it's the most alarming. So far people have brushed off the points I made in my whatever post earlier today
SaneGoatiSwear ago
nah nigga, there's a cabal of sjw that have taken voat,that silence dissent.

"Freedom" isnt free

The back of the shirt/hoodie should say
Just to add to the joke/conspiracy.
WeekendBaker ago
I laughed pretty hard at that. Also, because it's the truth. Now voat has my name... Address... Phone number... Email...
Voopin__Voopin ago
i thought about that too. but nothing is linked to your username unless you want it to be. When i place my order, i want all the alphabet agencies to know FOR THE RECORD I'm just /u/moshi and I have never said anything mean, offensive, sexist, or racist here. Scout's honor. ;)
e: not sure if moshi still here. If so, hi :)
AyyGringo ago
Most people would likely use the same IP address to order that they use for voat. So it isn't hard to match you with your voat account.
HentaiOjisan ago
You don't even need the IP address. Fingerprinting is awesome: https://panopticlick.eff.org/

Leaks show putty used code talk for goat trafficking. Everyone in the goat trafficking world knows 'Items' = goats.

You are on the list needle! Soon.
NeedleStack ago
OK, good, I was getting worried!

So it's you
NeedleStack ago
Well.. I have nothing to do with this batch of merchandise shall we say. :)

The white stickers look great. Now we need ideas where to put them.
I_Miss_Phone_Phreaks ago
I'm going to put some around the bars/gloryholes I frequent, record store, punk venues and skateshop. Then again, that's my circles.
7079955? ago
Coffee mugs, laptops, sports equipment, SJW faces, you name it!
Cynabuns ago
HOT DAMN - VOAT SWAG IS HERE!
sakuramboo ago
Are those stickers waterproof? Could I put them on my snowboard and not have to worry about them falling off or soaking up the water?
VoatMerch ago
Yes. The decals are indeed waterproof. The decals will be cut from Oracal 651 Vinyl (commonly used on police cars, outdoor signs, etc.)
UncleSpez1 ago
sounds badass oracle 651 lol

I would like a transparency report on where all funds have been going.
Why don't you just use a site that mass produces this stuff to make it more efficient ?
Also. No offense to you guys but who honestly would wear a shirt/hoodie/ect related to a forum you post on.
ThisIsMyRealName ago
stfu it's not like you mod one of the top subs on here or anything
HomerSimpson ago
I don't get why that is relevant
7084051? ago
Having multiple polarizing opinions/statements in one post. You're either brave or crazy.
I'd second the transparency, or at least an idea of what is funded vs what you want to fund/achieve.
Donbuster ago
Seconded on transparency!
werstie ago
u read bro?
AlwaysInService ago
I have a shirt with Voat logo already and just bought that one. I like the logo, I like the forum, and it's my own money, so I "honestly would wear a shirt/hoodie/ect related to a forum I post on"
7079877? ago
I wear the Voat Goat hoodie that I bought last time there was a merch drive all the time. I love it.
Fuck you. I love you don't hate.
lbruiser ago
I did. Sticker on the laptop and I wear the tshirt. I purchased the hoodie since it's cold outside.
SaneGoatiSwear ago
seconded on transparency.
7079577? ago
Good to hear, I respect the limited edition idea. Any news of other merchandise like coffee mugs? Hmm, although I suppose I could buy a sticker and slap in on a blank mug. Maybe that's what I'll do.
EDIT: BAM Me and my coffee mug are going to be stylin' Also that subtotal is before those USD are corrected to my shitty Canadian currency so this one is going to hurt,
but fuck it freedom isn't free
