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?

I would also like to see the ability to downvote more threads than upvote be made the same as it is for CCP count which restricts downvoting more than upvoting.
Example above. @Atko has said this was a bug that he intended to fix way back in September last year. Look at the user now compared to then. https://voat.co/v/whatever/1334699/6520198/10#6520198
This guy is sitting on v/all downvoting users. Even if you attribute this to two sides bickering there are other people with far worse ratios than the guy above mentioned.

Well reiterated .. and long overdue. We have far too many people who don't add content, yet think they have the right to downvote everything at will. Eran the privilege, that's all I'm saying, too.
