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?

Would be nice if we could maybe get back some of the real time speed we had before all the redditors came.
Improved voat chat, but i'll make a separate thread about the issues in v/voatdev.
A robust system for removing reddit mods via user mutiny.
Ability to have a link post/ text post hybrid like reddit has. That way you can link-post and have a thumbnail yet write your thoughts about the thing you're linking instead of having to do it as the first comment. Best improvement i would say, yet easy to do.
A anti-repost system that warns of reposts. Just lets you know how long ago and where the link has already been posted.
Anti-alt system that shows who is who. Highly controversial..i know....this is obviously something that would have to be approved by the community...a large majority. No more hide and seek amalek = sanegoat = mightyyetgentile7.
The pedo communities are embarrassing. Don't know what to do about it....at least make it not show up in google searches, because that's the first thing that is shown.
Make @ExpertShitposter (D) of v/whatever.
A ban on immigrants from
Muslim countries, reddit.com8453236? ago
i've been informed that due to something that's slow for some reason. i agree faster.
yay more chat improvements; i have a running list going
your system is easily corruptable. explain how it's not just a power grab by SRS.
yes. link post with text. ice.
repost warning system would require lots of work and be expenseve. since finances are kept from voaters, now, i have no idea how unfeasable that is. nice idea tho. same realm as shill-bots that call out disinfo tactics and fallacious speech.
you're a stupid nigger if you think i'm any of those users. also, anti-alt? when did you grab the shill script, huh? is there something immoral or wrong about having multiple accounts?
did you suggest voat try to make google do something? that's funny. stinky pedos tho.
@expertshitposter is a known criminal shill.
you are pro-censorship. clearly you are the trash that needs to go.

No. 3. It would be something that would be implemented ONLY if the community agreed that its robust enough that it cant be exploited. If a mistake is made, the system can always be suspended. The system doesn't even have to be auto-remove, but auto-mark for removal so admins can step in and investigate the situation quickly and make a decision to remove manually or deny the request. Unlike now where its just 1000 pings to putt until something gets done.
No. 5. It would be something simple that only checks if the exact link has been posted, and if so, when was the last time it was posted. I now do this manually by searching before i post news. This would just automate the search for me. Of course you would still have double posts for same news but with different links...nutin you can do about it on the cheap.
No. 6. You 90% are. Its not morally wrong but its pretty faggy to play the alt game unless its joke accounts. Its just a thought that could be implemented if THE PEOPLE want it. If putt suggested it may be 80% of users would say HELL YEAH! And maybe 80% of users would say "FUCK OFF". This is what would decide would it happen or not. Also...multiple alts is the NO.1 shill tactic. So if you were really interested in killing off shills this would be the best tool you could possibly get. Of course you have that downvote problem....but that's on you.
No. 7. I believe it has to do with goofgle analitics and voat cutting them off after the pedo stuff was already being on, so the youngladies is still first. https://imgoat.com/uploads/9f0f895fb9/7361.png
No. 8. This is verified.
No. 9. Kill all: niggers, white cucks (all redditors), jews (sorry sane/amalek), console gamers, people who like Bruno Mars or Adam Levine, or James Blunt or Coldplay.
