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.

How about we just get rid of the jb sub? I mean if it's really causing all this issue, why keep it around?

Once the JB sub is taken down, there will be something else they find disagreeable... then something else. The attack isn't over offensive material, it's about control. Make no mistake about it. Voat is under attack.
It's time to shit or get off the pot.

The biggest issue is the fucking cp. it has no place here or anywhere else. It's illegal and needs to be removed otherwise say goodbye to the site.
