Anyway, I'd like to hear the voat community on spammers. People who make literally thousands of accounts and flood out a subverse with the same post. It's getting old and it's not fair to anyone who uses a single account.
Not saying that this should be a site wide rule, but I would like to see individual subverses adopt a clause against this type of shit posting
Spamming is pretty well defined. Spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message, especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site . Seems you guys are only worried about the advertising portion though, suffering the repeated messages my self I would like to have them deleted to unclog threads if nothing else.
No one mentions that but its unwanted by most of the userbase but these people still get 10 posts per day and just log into another account. They are circumventing site restrictions and being brazen about it by making accounts with numerical additions.
Never saw a rule about multi accounts, but I have seen users spamming with the same account, usually to harass a couple users for daring to oppose them. I have seen what you are talking about too, spamming with multiple accounts. I don't find the multiple accounts a bad thing just the rampant spamming that some of them do.
Let users fully block others. Problem solved on all fronts. Then all the admins need to worry about is whats purely legal or not legal and appoint janitors to remove that for them sitewide. The janitor fucks up once he is gone.
I disagree with the whole block user option on principle. Some users can be spamming assholes half the time and still produce quality content the other half. If I block them for being a spamming asshole then I lose the quality content they produce.
Then don't use that feature and let others worry about what they miss out on. Unless you are more concerned with what you want others to see or not see, it shouldn't bother you as long as you can see it.
If a bot is spamming incoherent ad spam for hours on end would you see any value in that? With a block feature YOU would get to choose and maybe everyone can be happier.
My apologies its hard to keep up with a anon thread. I don't want anything but spam to be recognized as spam. I don't want to self censor with the shitty block button and I don't want assholes to keep spamming. As it is now only advertising is considered spam. Repeated messages need to be considered spam and should be allowed to be deleted by janitors. Nothing else. No funky agenda to silence any one or any crazy shit like that.
I think a report button that includes reason spam/CP/dox and automatically hides the content for review would work. If the review finds the content to be OK, then escalating bans of the reporting account.
Apply a minimum CCP rule so it can't just be constant new accounts reporting things.
So what happens if I decide to brigade a user (I'm looking at you, /v/ProtectVoat) and have ample CCP to do so. I go report a user's posts, he's effectively censored on the site.

I considered him a joke account. Needs tweaking though.

@Cynabuns has been pushing for a more clearly defined policy on this and I agree, something needs to be done.
7589060? ago
Allow users to block others instead of waiting for the janitors to wake up. That way each user can define their own spam.
7589559? ago
That seems like a horrible idea it could be abused soo easily.
Like give it to a select few whove been here a while and are like pillars of the community. That would be a great work around

Allowing individuals to block someone wont amount to any abuse because it will only block the person for them not anyone else.

You mean @She.
7602263? ago
she is a she, but she can't be She, because I am @She
7602594? ago
Fuck off, @Cynabuns.
7593838? ago
Why is everybody @She?
Honestly the real one probably an hero'd after her nudes were leaked. She kept saying if her BF knew he would actually kill her too.

You are tangenting so hard off of my original post to the point where you are making assumptions and spewing idiocy.

That was my first reply in this comment chain. I'm not the guy you replied to previously.

Maybe have it hidden automatically after a certain amount of reports, as to not stifle content.

This is what sjw''s do apparently

And you'd end up banned for abusing it, as noted in proposing it.
