The reason given was "Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments for certain sexually oriented materials or services or for items that could be considered obscene". This is wrong/false on so many levels. We used PayPal only as a means to receive voluntary donations from people who wanted to support further development of Voat and to help pay for our hosting fees. This is beyond crazy.
According to PayPal User Agreement, our funds can be kept by PayPal for 180 days. I requested further clarification from PayPal, but I would like to advise everyone who planned to donate to Voat - to NOT do so via PayPal.
Honestly, I don't know what I expected when I trusted PayPal with our donation money. I apologize to everyone who donated to us through PayPal and I will badge everyone who did so even if the funds are never released by PayPal.

This brings me to another set of questions. How come the sjws are so organized that they can rain e-mails to companies in order to damage what they do not like? Also how come they do not like voat? If I was an sjw I would be happy if all the shitlords left for another forum and I can have my safe place. Why go after voat? It looks like they are reddit's lapdogs.
And finally, no matter how many e-mails does one company receive, they simply can't end business relationships without solid evidence. That is why I am wondering. Is there any chance that such material exist here?

We mock Tumblr a lot for the shit that gets said there, but it's a pretty dark place.
For instance, there's no rules against doxing on Tumblr so they're pretty brazen about it. http://vgy.me/T9aJW7.png
They don't need to be organized when they're all on a single site that caters to their behavior.
