We are actively working on alt detection and will be dealing with this problem very soon. The good news is we have all the data we need to test against.

Vote manipulation destroys credibility in our platform and community and can not continue.

Accounts that would naturally be throttled are supported by upvotes and accounts that are brigaded are restricted. It's the opposite of how the system is supposed to function.

So what's your opinion on the fact that Sanegoat just went from 8200 CCP to 10k+ in less than 3 hours? Will that be stopped?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

people voted me o noes

you don't give a fuck i went down 4k though

only

dat script

shill

Tipman79 ago

You didn't get 3000 upvoats in that short amount of time and everyone knows it. Claiming you did... lol, you're just fucking desperate now lol.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

oh so i didn't get 4000 downvoats either?

look at the data

it's up and down.

shill.

Tipman79 ago

You lose CCP a hell of a lot slower than you get it.

For you to say that your upswing the other night was normal voating is insane. That means that your comments were getting roughly 1000 upvoats an hour. Averages out to about 67 comment upvoats PER MINUTE for THREE HOURS!

Fuck off and die.

Does Voat have an official stance on alts?

When you say alt detection do you plan to reveal to users what accounts are alts of who or do you consider this to be PI/Dox and something to be protected if possible?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

so if i'm being harassed, how do i report it?

PuttItOut ago

We will be offering a report user mechanism which will include reporting for suspected brigading.

What I can tell you with certainty is I see what is going on, both sides, and it will be stopped.

On a personal note, I appreciate your tact with this reply sane.

i want to point out that your above comment would not be seen by many users because they've greyboxed me with the button and in their minds. they won't open this comment.

or are you going to tell me (because i refuse to click the block button) that your comment isn't hidden, as in, responses to a block-nested comment don't nest or, flatten?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

i love voat because voat is for free speech

if i smell voat is going against free speech, or you are

i will call it out

if i am silenced for doing so, that is what it is. so be it.

but you have

ACTED

without community consent

in UPPING the shadowbox to include comments

your first major coding move as CEO of voat is to increase the shadowbox

it's like we elected hillary clinton and 100,000 migrants just got let in.

i would hope you would remove shadowboxing.

it will be stopped

you aren't having community discussion about any of this

let me be clear

i don't support any action you take as a dictator. let the community speak, not just the shills.

and

everything i do is for the love of the human right to freely express oneself.

please remember that.

i pour as much time into voat of my life as you do.

because you and atko made a believer out of someone who had given up.

please do not do this to voat.

the methodology of "restrict all/giveall the tools to restrict themselves to stop a few" is not good enough.

it is the antithesis of good.

MarkTheNerd ago

Free speech does not mean you can spew bullshit without consequences. In this case those consequences are downvoats and what you consider harassment. If you stop acting like a drug-addled fucktard you'd find people a little nicer to you.

Its good for everyone to see all the conversation, gotta prevent social engineers from censoring the masses exposure to Non-Approved Violations Of Thinking.

But the individual user being allowed to enable the auto-collapse of comments from users they themselves do not wish to read, does not accomplish this social engineering attack.

So whats your objection. Is this slippery slope to you?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

oh yeah? you gonna finally do something about those brigading me and others who just want to speak freely here?

let's see what happens.

20 bucks says i am silenced and the sjw shills are free to commit crimes against other people on voat.

DoomMantia ago

SJWs? Many of the people replying to you here are some of the most hardcore neo-nazis there are on this site. WTF are you even talking about???
