Just wanted to give advanced notice that we will hopefully be pushing one of Voat’s largest updates yet this weekend.
This update will feature a new underlying system for organizing subverses which we are calling Sets (grouping of subverses). If you are an old time whoaverser/OG Voater you will remember that Voat used to have Sets but we had to turn them off for performance reasons.
This update will reintroduce Sets, but as opposed to being an add-on feature as previously implemented, this update involves completely replacing the underlying system of Voat with a Set based infrastructure.
I will provide more information on the specifics of these changes later; how they benefit Voat currently and how they fit into our future plans.
The release of this update depends on the progress of testing but we are really pushing hard for a release this Saturday or Sunday.
Also, I need a few dedicated users who would like to spend some time testing this new code. If you have an interest, please PM me. I will only send out info to a handful of people, so first come first serve.
Thanks Voat!
P.S. I know there are some situations that need admin attention. I will deal with these when this update is released.

Pros and Cons. It could be abused, but until it happens, I think it keeps spam at bay

Ive seen it be abused. Mightyyetgentle7 got a co-ordinated bot downvote on an old account, i think 3000 ccp in a day, took below 0 ccp. Had to make a new account (or 7).

He used to be such a dick, I wonder what changed... I chat with him in voat chat all the time, he lightened up a lot.
I admit there have been a few cases of clear-cut abuse... I wish Putt would weigh in on some way to solve it

He comments a lot, over the season, he was talking about serious withdrawals from alcohol.
