Now that I have your attention, I have a confession to make: I lied.
Well sort of… because Voat 2.0 doesn’t exist yet, but it will in the future, and this thread is the first in a series of Quarterly Reviews we will be doing to get your feedback on what we need, what we need to improve, and the direction we need to move as a company and as a community.
I can finally announce that Voat’s features (software-wise) are now in the ballpark of a semi-functional platform. I’m not saying Voat is perfect, nor am I saying the features are mature, rather I am saying that we are nearing "acceptable" as a basic functioning platform.
But a basic functioning platform was never our end goal, it was just the first milestone we needed to hit. Now that we are approaching this milestone we need to lay out our future direction.
Voat doesn’t want to be a “clone” any longer. We want to stand up and proclaim our uniqueness. We want to put our differences on display and stake our future on them. Voat can’t survive without redefining ourselves, without evolving into something bigger, something better, something unique and new.
This is the post where we get to dream big, have no boundaries, no constraints, and live in world where everything is possible.
Hypothetical
You have an army of programmers, mountains of cash to burn, and you are the only board member: What does Voat 2.0 look like?

HomerSimpson here
Mods able to make anon threads in their subs without affecting the sub globally(maybe I'm missing this feature?)
Better improvements on mod tools and mod mail.
As well as that need more distinguishing abilities for modlogs. I think comment distinguishing and stickies should be added or even modifying the CSS. As well as a catch all modlog for everything.
Improvements to stylesheets and user customization in subs. What I mean by this is things like flairs for users, able to distinguish threads better(by keywords) things like that
Ability to make announcement posts in subs that go to user inboxes(or main page) if they are subscribed to that sub.
Administrator admin logs.
Also make me admin.

You can set a subverse to allow anon posts without going full anon, make a post then turn that back off. Kind of a pain, but should work.

I meant mod approved ones. Not everyone gets to set them. I think the latter can have lots of abuse.
