A new Sparticus/Sane alt for your purging: LORD_SPARTACUS_1488

this was really disappointing to see, as a new user here, it shows that on voat, goats are guilty until proven innocent.

If you want to rule a sub like a dictator you need to create it and grow it yourself.

Dead subs like ReportShills are effectively being created from scratch. But you're a goofy loon and wouldn't understand that.

Oh, what a nightmare! Thanks for the reply Fuzzy :)

@o_V_o fuzzy has replied above this comment. It doesn't sound hopeful - https://voat.co/v/announcements/1752788/8724165

no im not a 51 year old native.

What's missing in the retro layout is small pics, it's not readable, titles are too long among other things

But then I guess small pics defeat retro layout

Been here for some time and the downvote is bullshit. I agree with the downvote, but you should give some explanation.

I get /v/TIL, but why /v/ReportShills. It is just 75 subscribers.

Agreed, but you and your vigilante group are the infectious disease. I am the leukocyte.

Perhaps it doesn't but it just strikes me that if a sperg is modding his own sub, he has a right to be a sperg. I don't really think Sane is the same as She was where she became a mod of a default acting normal, then started modding like an SJW.

cause him great suffering. :-)

I can't argue with that :)

Hecho does the ban/unban thing all the time. He does this to me about once a week. I wouldn't let it bother you too much, it's an attention thing I think.

This totally makes sense now, please let be civil and grow voat.co together.

Honestly, I don't give a shit. I don't think this should be a system wide announcement.

There's a few in every woodpile.

It's just idiots with too much time on their hands. If they aren't fucking with you one way then they'll find another.

@First_Post_King created that sub. Note the two_ _ underlines in the above accounts name after First. I'm not sure it might be the same guy but First_Post_King deleted their account and this couldd be an imposter account.

There's nothing wrong with insulting and calling out Jews. Their main weakness is being outed as the very hooknosed rats they are.

Eh. I dunno. I mean yeah I think almost everyone wanted him to shut up, but now it feels a little too quiet. Like it's weird when the neighbors' kids stop screaming. (realtalk I'm not an MSM [white] baby hater but most of them are over 10 and running around shrieking morning, noon, and night)

Is there anything about /v/Chicago? NoobFTW might be an alt of CluelessJoeJackson, and I've been banned, unbanned, banned again, and then unbanned by someone who isn't even a mod of /v/Chicago.

Based on everything you said in this post, I believe that someone who upholds free speech should moderate /v/Chicago (As numerous people have said, the current moderator (noobftw) bans people for things like "saying bad words" and "dissent," which is the exact opposite of free speech.

P.S. Thanks for all your work, and thanks for taking action against SaneGoatISwear. I totally agree with your action and your sentiment, and I definitely think that they were intentionally putting you in a bad position.

Someone tell me who are the good guys here so I know what side to be on!

PV is a watchdog sub... that promotes witch hunts.

Mighty and Sane are definitely linked.

Not really, they just are a part of the voat chat regulars. Mighty passionately believes in his retarded opinions and doesn't really troll. He just really passionately believes in unpopular opinions and has an aggressive way of giving his opinion. Sane...on the other hand, he he's either a massive troll or a schizo, lol. I've talked to them both for many months now and know they aren't connected and that there is no "group".

I know mighty has no agenda to damage voat, sane on the other hand I'm not sure about.

PV and SBBH, although separate, are very intertwined. They both pushed that mighty was sane when I know for a fact from talking to both of them that is not true. Yet, I have seen average voaters think mighty was sane because of that agenda. Was it hilarious? Absolutely. Mighty being triggered is always hilarious. The point is, you guys on both subs have the power to control, and you do. As another example, you guys were also responsible for pushing putt to make changes to chat.

Just saying to be warying, that's all. I've watched you guys, I see how you can control the narrative on voat with concern trolling. I don't have anything against you guys. Just telling putt to keep an eye open for you guys.

I wish i had enough ccp to downvoat SGIS. maybe one day.

Looks like they are up to it again: voat.co/user/Puttitout_Is_Fat

Do these people have nothing better to do or is it a bot? Even if it didnt take too much time to make its still pretty dumb.

I too wish I had so much free time to dedicate to creating fake accounts and break havoc and shit all over stuff that has little impact on my daily life. Smh.

Thank you for doing a good job

Hey @PuttItOut how about taking the trash out of v/Chicago? It needs to happen. The mod is the alt of the mod that got kicked. Nothing has changed and it's worthless as a sub.

I see you have a lot of support for this move. I disagree. He may be thorn in your side, but all I see is stupid easily ignored posts from my perspective. Can you give any evidence he is vote manipulating? If not let him speak. I ignore him. Why can't you? You are the law. You shouldn't shut down speech from anyone, regardless how annoying. We are adults. We can handle ourselves.

Ty. You always make me proud to be part of this community

On the topic of this behavior, something needs to be done about the groups of users here that will mass downvote brigade accounts they dislike. For example the account HWY__395 spammed my old account name all over the site after I refused to use post in one of his brand new subverses, instead posting in an older one. After that anything I posted was immediately downvoted. I could tell when he got online because all my posts from the previous few hours would all get 2-6 downvotes within a 5 minute window. Voat needs to be doing more to discourage this type of powermod behavior before the site gets any larger.

This is exactly how moderation should be done. You do not ban content. You do not ban behaviors. You ban disruptive users.

let me know what RULE i'm breaking and I'll be happy to help you. :)

https://voat.co/help/useragreement

I use an alt mainly. Use this account to trigger the thought police like yourself.

'Spirit of vote' = what YOU want voat to be

Rules of voat = what the creators of voat made it to be

I'll be following the rules. : D

he's implying that anyone who disagrees with his opinions must just be an alt of 1 person.

triggered?

edit: thats a yes

Thank you for doing this. It was annoying as fuck.

I admire the restraint with which @PuttItOut approached this situation. I support this solution.

I'm late to the party, but would just like to say that you should really add an invite system to keep tabs on who spawns what account. This time it was easy to figure out, but at the reddit level there is nothing you can do about it.

I have not seen anything that has effected me, but thank you for being vigilant in making this a happy anarchy. <3

Bingo

@PuttItOut this is a huge improvement, but i still see him in chat, and no one goes there because he is retarded. i mentioned in ideas for voat the ability to ignore a user in chat. that would be really great, because i have had some decent convos there, then sane shows up and fags things up.

Mfw sane goat was the Jew all along and was trying to make people who hate Jews seem totally nuts.

Are you intentionally forgetting how sanei brought that on themselves by aggressively attacking each poster/mod in the 'verse? Then they are to be blamed for poking back? Get real. For what it's worth, those jabs about 1990 were obvious joke references and:

I have never made any of the comments you're alleging.

So, please, tell me again how users defending themselves against antagonizing accusations (and making light of them!) by a user/an alleged team of disrupters is not ok?

I understand you will not be able to defend this, nor was it your intention at all. You obviously only want to sow seeds of doubt by presenting a 'defense'.

I fail to understand why @PuttItOut is smarter than every politician in the entire western world. This doesn't stand to reason. The only plausible explanation is that the system is not "broken" but rather working exactly the way THEY wish it to.

Regardless, THIS is my response to @PuttItOut actions today. I believe everyone should do the same

I am still being down vote brigaded by the same accounts. I thought you wanted to do something about that. What are srs on voat? You going to do something about that? How about fph which has banned more people than sanegoat. No, because they are reddit as well?

If Voat bans them, they claim censorship.

Censorship of ideas is a problem. Censorship of troublemakers is not. They seek to confuse the two.

Grow up faggot.

Well done!

Could you also please reset /v/til css to default as the current one looks like shit on all devices.

thank you! <3

Is this one? Puttitout_Is_Fat (not using /u/ to avoid the ping)

Nah, SaneGoat has already started creating new alts and he's got a new "free speech" sub which is 9 hours old and has 243 banned users.

Writing a post takes longer than banning someone. Banning someone takes at most 20 seconds. If you have trouble banning one guy, then ask the other moderators of your subverse for help, it's not that difficult. There is no point in asking admins to do something so simple. Why would you need help for something so simple? Isn't Alt-Right going to fix all of the problems such as non-whites? How can you even accomplish that when you can't even ban one guy from your subverse? This reminds me of Evalion talking about getting rid of Jews while she is too afraid to even drive a car.

Don't you know putt is God and can do no wrong?

Heil.

Awesome to heaar it Put

A user is free to say whatever they wish, but if they resort to using alt accounts in order to circumvent the protections we do have, these alt accounts will be banned for spamming.

How can we report users doing this?

I've studied human rights philosophy and it's important to be mindful that one right can not be used to justify violating other rights.

For example, it's unreasonable for Muslims to justify murdering unbelievers in the name of religious freedom.

Similarly, it's unreasonable to claim that silencing people is a valid form of free speech... and that is precisely what SaneGoat is attempting to do when he claims his free speech takes the form of banning users and deleting their content if his feelings were hurt, or by artificially raising his posts and down-vote brigading others using an army of alts.

Hyde Park's Speakers Corner is a famous celebration of free speech where Londoners have gathered since 1872 to express themselves freely and have an opportunity to be heard by the crowd. There are some very basic and reasonable rules: everyone must have an equal opportunity to be heard, which means megaphones and horns are banned so that people can't be shouted-down or drowned-out artificially: which is a perfect simile for SaneGoat's banning and deleting content he disagrees with or that hurts his feelings and using alts to up-vote his content while down-vote brigading everyone else.

As longer as I can say nigger faggot Jew without being censored or banned, I'll keep coming here and contributing. I don't even have a problem with faggots, it's all about the freedom to speak unfettered and unteathered.

There is no evidence that @SaneGoatiSwear raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 against the peace and dignity of the state of Delaware and saying that @SaneGoatiSwear raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 against the peace and dignity of the state of Delaware without the evidence would be harmful to the user and the community

I can be called a shill (again) but I don't care. Thank you @PuttItOut for putting out this fire (pun intended, of course) and bringing some peace to the users. Even though he will claim censorship again, thank you for proving that Voat does stand for Freedom of Speech and thank you for not letting one person manipulate you and the userbase. Thank you.

I’ve banned all Sane alts (while leaving the main account alone) for spamming. If Sane (or his group) wants to post on Voat, they can do so without using alts to hide behind

So “spam us enough times and we’ll legitimize you”. That’s what they’re taking away from this. Great job, guys; really good at doing whatever it is you planned to make this site into.

No hes the owner look above at who created it.

And the creator of that sub?

Just block the guy. It's that simple. If you can't even do something so simple, then you are an idiot. You are a moderator, there is moderation functions such as banning. Use the tools given to you. If one guy is able to troll a dead subverse like v/Identitarian, then you should be ashamed. You have over 10 moderators, this should be easy. Don't expect @PuttItOut to spoon feed you. How can you survive in the outside world if you can't even ban one guy? You make the alt-right look pathetic.

Why does voat host child porn is the real question.

Because you cannot identify who will be a good mod. Because you put too much on one person. I don't know. You're smart. Think of some ideas. Maybe distribute mod's responsibilities - one mod bans, another removes posts. Maybe pick modes at random and rotate and switch often between subs. Maybe add mod rating and allow users to vote. Oh wait, it will be democracy with gerrymandering and corruption. Never mind. Whatever. Keep playing with your irrevocable kings.

behead those who waste @PuttItOut's valuable time

Ban the original as well and add a regex filter that does not allow new registrations that start with his original account.

I’m also pulling Sane off v/TIL and v/ReportShills and moving both to @system.

@SaneGoatISwear

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

                              HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

I think I'll just cry some more butt thanks.

oops. I'll be in my safe space crying.

you watch. jailbait and drawn loli porn are getting rarer and rarer. when that shit goes free speech goes with it. mostly with the jailbait. thing is, when people see jailbait being posted they unconsciously realize they are in a zone where the most offensive views can be taken, where the truth can be told. but people are social animals, without those jailbait postings, they will try to conform to the group. that is why all social websites are at risk of becoming user created echo chambers. jailbait preserves free speech. people might not realize it, it may be counterintuitive. but truly unpopular ideas, that is the best thing to post to preserve free speech.

NO, dude... I made that same ultimatum before... you don't want to know....

I... I mean.. Well.. I just can't express my feelings here....

Putt, if you are ever in the Ottawa area, drinks are on me!

Freedom of speech is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction.

So many righteous people in one place - wait for censorship. Everybody has "block" button. Why this doesn't work for you? Shills will manipulate upvotes/downvotes? Let's remove the +/- buttons, who cares about those numbers? Probably even nicknames are not necessary - generate random ID on every login. There are other ways to nourish the ego of the user (maybe achievements, lol).

• Declare you are not like Reddit
• Copy design flaws of Reddit
• Become Reddit
• Keep rake jumping

Think of the wave of TIL posts as a huge release from many community members who've been dealing with SaneGoat Inc for months now. It'll pass

In the meantime if it irritates you, consider exploring smaller subs to see what's in the basement. There are many, most need more active members.

If it's truly your first Voat account, there's a lot you've missed and it could be hard to understand the admins course of action. As an official top 10 capped, logged & archived shill I can assure you Putt was very level headed about his decision.

Ah, so this is why @SaneGoatiSwear suddenly decided to make a new post calling me a shill on v/ReportAllShills (a subverse made 4 hours ago, or about an hour after this announcement): because the trolls and shills have been cleansed from their perches, and the website has been returned to the users.

Thank you, @Atko and @PuttItOut, for helping to ensure there remains a place for free speech on the Internet.

Long live a free Voat!

So did I, doubts about his resolve arose a few weeks back & I had been on the fence about staying on as an active goat... What was I thinking, sometimes a bit more patience is all that's required.

The road ahead will always be bumpy but I have a lot more confidence in the driver now, makes for a more comfy ride.

Cheers Putt

I certainly don't envy your position dealing with such a difficult situation here. It does seem to me that 'sane' was expertly causing problems wherever and however he could whilst maintaining, as much as possible, a plausible cover

Such a shame 'he/they' couldn't put all that autism to better use, the worth of the good comments and contributions always wiped out by the threats and the shill nonsense

In this case, and from my limited perspective of the scenario I really don't see what else you could have done to protect the free speech and general health of the site.

So thanks yet again for all your work <3

About time this mental case was dealt with.

An empress is a female so I figured...

What?

@PuttItOut - Can you please clear the banlists for v/TIL and v/ReportShills while you are at it? @system subs shouldn't have banlists, especially permanent ones put in place by removed mods.

Cancer needs a sharp knife.

Thanks Putt, I was getting a bit sick of their shenanigans.

Thank you. Tired of hit stupid shit at v/til.

(((Puttitout Media Silent)))

(((Puttitout))) MEDIA SILENT

Thank you @PuttItOut

Too true. You know how many comments i had to scroll through to find this one? Almost all of then had 6 upvoats with 2 downvoats.... all brown nosing and not even adding a bit of anything to anything.

speaking of pullin mods of subs and making them system /v/chicago could be good system sub.

Great work, Putt, and thank you.

@Puttitout is there a processing for reclaiming closed accounts?

I’m also pulling Sane off v/TIL and v/ReportShills and moving both to @system. Both these subs were transferred to “him” and “he” has not been a good steward. What a joke. Enough of this as well.

Thanks... my first post on Voat was banned there by him.

The problem is, as you all know, once this code is implemented it can be used for both good and evil. I choose not to use the little time available on such things, and will instead ban users who engage in Amalek/ManHood101 style spamming in order to maliciously claim censorship later.

Eventually this will become a losing battle... you will need either teams of people cleaning up the mess or some of the automated process to combat destructive spam.

LoL, what a bitch....still, clearly more disruption on purpose. Clearly does not care about his main account and is paid to do this. Time to lay down the ban hammer on the main account would you not agree?

Sorry about the false alarm @puttitout

Then again...also not really a false alarm, you should probably finish this putt.

the raw stuff best fits in those subverses. posting pepe in /v/thedonald and most non gore memes in /v/whatever seems ok (as in not down voated into oblivion.

never actually tried to have a honest to god conversation with Sane. He's an alright guy...

I tried multiple times. I seemingly set him off by asking direct questions which he did not want to answer. This landed me a spot on the enemies list.

wi neva forget, wi neva forget

wi are trollonimus

Now ban @kevdude and his alts.

Oh... I thought Sane had autism so I didn't actually take him seriously.

Maybe don't have subverse requests as first come first serve. Let us voat the mods in and out, especially for system subs. Awesome decision on taking him off TIL. Look forward to posting there now.

Because he outright said as much. Here he is saying he's going to make alts, and here he is using them immediately afterwards to do exactly what he said he'd use them for.

THANK YOU BASED PUTT

Here are another two alts to ban:
https://voat.co/user/SaneGoatiSwear6666
https://voat.co/user/SaneGoatiSwear6667

We all need to recognize exactly what is happening here. This isn’t about a single user, this is about an organized effort.

Hear hear.

No action seems right in this senario, although action needed to be taken...

You did the right thing @PuttItOut

All the best,

peace...

Shut up or i will get HPOP to rape you.

Thank you for putting your foot down regarding these issues. A lot of us have been disappointed and demoralized after the latest explosion of spam since no action was taken a few days ago. I am also glad that you know that this isn't an "eccentric" user, but a group trying to shut us down. And you should know that the whole community equipped with IQ is behind you 100% and fully aware that this has nothing to do with the beginning of censorship but simply removal of a paid agitator.

You said that you don't want to invest time into "star-force defense code", but ban manually, and that's ok but just be aware that this isn't over not even with this group, on top of future groups that will surely be arriving as the user base increases.

For this reason you should feel free to remove the original sane goat account, since "he" will cause trouble again and is simply not a real user. All his earlier participation was for the soul purpose of building up CCP before he knew how to make upvote bots.

He has already spammed more crap with his main account and somehow started a sanegoatiswear1 alt that has already banned us all from TIL again! https://voat.co/v/TlL/modlog/banned

On top of that he deleted ALL posts ever made to TIL.

Ps, im sure @kevdude as well as many others are dying to know if there will be any action taken regarding the remaining cancer mods siting in v/chicago, v/canada etc.

Praise Kek! the hammer has fallen!

I just created /v/Butts4Putts in honor of this momentous occasion. I hope you're an ass man, Putts.

Hell yeah, batman. Hell yeah.

Thanks as always Putt, appreciate the explanation and for addressing a difficult situation well.

What a day.

Has he came too many times or is there any Put cock left to suck?

/s

I'm just saying. Admin worship gets gross.

Imma just leave this here.

Oh we allow all sorts of talk on food, derivatives trading, street fests, architecture, comedy, sports, etc. etc.

I love this drama. Sane is a gift that just keeps giving.

So much popcorn.

Niggers

Putt... you son of a bitch, you did it! I'm actually smiling at the way you handled it and worded that. Continue being awesome you glorious bastard.

A user is free to say whatever they wish,

Saying users are free to say whatever they wish is extremely disingenuous.

First, A user with negative comment karma cannot post more then 10 comments a day. And their submissions are limited. Your system code has created an echo chamber where unpopular speech can be throttled by the hive mind. Merely disagreeing with people creates systematized censorship. Whereas the typical Trumpette spouting off the hive-mind narrative can post as freely as they like.

Second, there are rules all over in various subs that limit what individuals can post and say there. And there is zero guidance from Voat as to what the limits of moderation powers are.

Did the Jews make water wet too?

I've never directed a message at you before, but since you've done something so wonderful, I would like my first to be a "thank you." So thank you. That asshole is out of control.

Thank you. That shit was getting old - fast. Much appreciated!

Has anyone else noticed the majority of comments have 1 dv? Wonder who that could be?

Not necessarily. If its a group they could all be working out of the same building or at least the same town. Whereas if I make SaneGoat44000000 itll have my local IP block and not theirs.

How about a system whereby people can report degenerate scumbags and once the same account has gotten say 10 scumbag reports, it goes to a trusted moderator (as decided by you) who can review the evidence to decide & implement a sitewide ban?

In addition, keep a log of scumbag reports filed by each user with the count and percentage of reports that are upheld. That way the moderators will easily know which users are legit reporters and which are trying to spam the report system to ban legit users? That way those who are gaming the system to get legit users banned may find themselves facing the scumbag banhammer!

Goddamnit Putt, we're eventually gonna get tired of all this winning...

Just kidding. Keep being fucking awesome, and @SaneGoatISwear can suck @HenryCorp's dick all the way back to Plebbit!

You're doing right, Sir.

Putts back end tools can see more than we. He might miss a few, but he'll catch most. It takes a minute to switch your VPN around, so mostly sane wouldnt bother and leave tracks.

Ive already seen a SaneGoat alt made by someone else posting to a different thread.

Good job thanks

Thank you for listening. I felt some times i was a voice in the wilderness on sanegoat.

And look. I'm still here. At least people will stop accusing me of being a Sane alt now.

Downvoats to posts like that only suggest that there is truth to it that people wish to hide. Those cabals have been the shame of Voat forever now but most people wish to ignore the problem and let it fester.

Thank you kind sir. I appreciate all the fine work you're doing here.

Should we all spam his inbox?

So is reportshills ban list.

"I’m also pulling Sane off v/TIL and v/ReportShills and moving both to @system. "

Can I have your babies?

BRB... checking eBay for a uterus.

BanHammer!!!

Thank you, @Puttitout. You've made my very bleak week feel a little brighter.

I mean,

Don't the all-powerful shadow government have better things to do?

What about the "Protect"Voat (aka SRS) and SDBH/SBBH? They were always 1000x worse in their tactics and goals.

YAAAAAY!!!! You da man @puttitout. Thx for handling this. We all saw it go down and regardless whatever he comes back bitching about later you did the right thing.

@PuttItOut

There are many groups vying for power over Voat, many of them much more subtle in tactics and approach than Sane. For the most part I ignored him because at first he seemed to be just a single guy with schizophrenia, and then they started operating in the open. But as you were taking action against him and his alts (or their alts) many other subversive factors are already on the frontpage, reposting old shit from Reddit, moving the "narrative" one nudge at the time, shaping the way how an isolated group such as Voat thinks etc. Make no mistake. This will continue, it's their job to subvert your site and control everything, that's what you've been paying your taxes for.

The only way to successfully combat this is to completely purge ALL dormant accounts that became suddenly active right before the elections of Nov. the 8th. It's not that hard to identify such accounts. However, you're not going to do that, and therefore you better prepare for the war of attrition. I'd purge them all for starters. Good luck, you're gonna fucking need it.

what in the fuck is wrong with these assholes? Seriously, grow up, get a life, or just fucking kill yourself

Yeah! Go get 'em, Putt.

Thanks for this, the place was getting spammed to heck and back by his alts.

Fuck yes, It was a controlled effort to do exactly what you said. Discredit Voat and the freedom of speech we all enjoy here.

Fuck anyone that tries to divide us with these CIA/Psyop level tactics.

@PuttItOut Thank you for the transparency, this post alone means more than the actions ever will.

Holy fuck based admin.

I’m also pulling Sane off v/TIL and v/ReportShills and moving both to @system.

@PuttItOut Thanks for making voat free speech again.

THANK YOU BASED PUTT

WE JUST CAN'T STOP WINNING!!

Don't worry boss, we're keeping an eye out for their next organized efforts !

I guess I'm pretty blase about both sides. There is no need to enact draconian rules because of them. They are not ruining voat (while they mean to). We are doing fine. They really are a small annoyance.

On the other hand banning them is completely justifiable. It just isn't critical. I coined the phrase identity spamming back when it was Amalek. I'm pretty sure we all agreed then that is bannable.

Basically putt I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. Focus on features. We are doing fine with the sanes. If piece of mind helps you focus on the long term then you should have some.

By doing this, you have destroyed the very thing you claim to uphold. SAD.

Rushes straight to the bottom of the page to see Sane spazzing the fuck out. Was not disappointed.

Seconded please make v/Canada a @system sub.

Thank you, you kick ass.

What are you going to do about the spammers that aren't Sanegoat? Every day there are more and more of them.

Also, what are you going to do about people who buy upvotes? There was that guy who got to the front page using an obviously brigaded post to sell shitty sunglasses.

I'm not too worried about the Sanegoat situation, to be honest.

Still, there are bigger and more problematic issues beginning to arise on Voat, like the rise of power-users. We've got a bunch of people who just farm upvotes until they can downvote, and they use those accounts to slingshot their posts to the front page, and to downvote anyone who calls them out on it.

There's also the /v/chicago situation, in which we have a mod who freely admits to not giving a shit about free-speech.

Thank you, Thank you! You are the MAN or ATACK HELICOPTER.

Please remember that v/Canada needs help. We have a mod censoring all that is said. Could we make it a @system sub as well please!

Sorry you have to deal with this bullshit.

LOL, as long as these Albanians pay their server costs and let me say nigger on their website; HE WILL NOT DIVIDE AND CONQUER US.

The new sheriff is finally in town!

Great decision, Putt! I know it's not the same, but I had to ban my third user from v/JustGrowIt a few days ago. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but a happy community is more important to me than a few users spreading negativity and shitting all over my sub.

Same with sane. He was a menace for too long. I know some people will get upset about this decision as going against freedom of speech, but I trust you.

Much love.

Good!

Thank you so much for defending Voat.

I really like what you've written here Putts. You really should take the time to drop us a paragraph or two once in a while and let us know what you're thinking.

I can't speak for others, but I know that I get a little paranoid when we haven't heard from you in a while. Not sure if you've noticed, but most of us Goats have some trust issues.

Thanks for all you do. The platform you provide here is really unique, and extremely important in these times of censorship we seem to live in. I really hope you know that. You are making a profound difference, while most of us just blow hot air.

The fact that only the alts are banned is a good indicator that things are okay here.

Justice servevd, thanks @puttitout

@PuttItOut we know you had a difficult decision to make, it's been made, and you've been transparent about it. That's about all we can ask so thank you.

I'm curious if anything will be done in regard to the related junk posts that have spawned because of the Sane alts (like this 'never forget 1990' crap I'm responding to here), or if anything needs to be done. Frankly, browsing 'new' posts has sucked this last week or so because of Sane trolls, not Sane-alts. Sane-trolls are as annoying and as spammy as Sane's-alt crap, if not more.

If I were to guess, it will just be a 'wait and see' if they stop trolling with a reduction in Sane-alt posts. The brigading & trolling of Sane-alts has been as much of a concern of mine as the Sane-alts themselves, so it's something to keep in mind as you move forward.

Thanks again for putting up with the the shit we don't want to.

Thank you SOO MUCH Putt!!!

FUCK SaneGoatISwear!

They seek only to force censorship, drive away users, and ultimately destroy Voat while ruining Voat’s commitment to Freedom of Speech.

Yep. I was saying that a few months ago. "BUT MAH FREEZE PEACH" while using those tools to silence and drown out others. Fuck off with that garbage.

Thanks, Putt. Now fix it to where I can downvoat spam again.

Keep on keeping on, PIO!

Totally fair, leaving the original account is a class act. Just weeding out the bad behaviour.

About damn time.

Sane got BTFO.

Three cheers for you!

Woohoo!

You are awesome.!!

Thank you!

JEW MEDIA SILENT

He and his IP need permabanning for doxxing.

thanks for everything you're doing.

This is reasonable.

Congrats to SaneGoat for placing 1st through 5th on most downvoated comments

You are a rock star and I am always amazed at how well you handle things like this. Thank you!

Don’t for a second be fooled at the motivations this group has for Voat

Don't worry, we can tell and we stand with you.

SGS (and others like them) is a difficult problem. That level of outward hostility does discourage participation.

Good for you, Putt! And absolutely agree. I've watched as this group has harassed too many good users off of Voat and anything that needs to be done is appreciated. Personally, I don't give a crap if they harass me for saying so. I'm sick and tired, as are so many, of the childish antics which are clearly intended, as you point out, to slowly destroy Voat, simply for the entertainment of those I have personally named, the 'Voat Village Idiots'. They have no intention of working to make Voat better, but simply to destroy it. Anything done to give them a good spanking is more than fine with me. And I doubt many would find fault.

There are so many people spamming from Reddit right now. One in particular is /u/freePatrick91425115 from reddit who uses /r/AgainstHateSubreddits his base for raids etc. Last night we saw a big spike in traffic come from there one of the threads in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/61rufl/altright_twist_facts_yet_again_claims_that/

The guy is obviously mentally deranged and has been reported to reddit admins time and time again, who until now don't give a damn. I suggest the administration of Voat contacts Reddit about this. If need be threaten legal action for them allowing their website to be used as a means to damage yours. If there's one thing the idiots there care about it's their "brand".

We mods also need a better way to quickly report these people so they can be IP blocked.

-private subs are fair game to steal

-speaking freely is now behaviorally restricted. you cannot have a pasted tag at the bottom of unique comments that respond directly to the content of the OP and the comment whom they are responding to.

@puttitout has not clarified anything about ban rules. @puttitout still bans users in secret courts with secret rules with no oversight, no warning, no appeal system.

@puttitout has repeatedly lied to the userbase, provably and will not face these accusations instead he attack the user making the claims

He voted his SCP back up into postives and upvoted about 2-3k submissions to try to get his downvote rights back too in the last few days. Might want to check that.

dear justin chastain (aka confirmed shill @puttitout) you have failed the community and ought be ashamed. you have done nothing but further the goals of those whom would wish to censor people like me. you have cucked voat. for this, your name will go down in history as the cuck of all cucks. the cuck who killed the last site for free speech on the interweebs. luckily you killed it long before many were disillusioned and joined. i expect your whoring out of voat to skyrocket it to popularity where it will be a sister hugbox to reddit. again, you are a disgrace to the human race - it's enemy incarnate.

Sweet. Thank you, getting kind of sick of him. @noobftw is next methinks.

Don’t for a second be fooled at the motivations this group has for Voat, they seek not to help. They seek only to force censorship, drive away users, and ultimately destroy Voat while ruining Voat’s commitment to Freedom of Speech. I will not let them win.

One True Putt is woke as fuck.

Thank you so much, Putt. <3

Thank you very much for your constant efforts to upgrade voat and improve the playpen. You are a chap in fancy pants.

You are great, sir! Thanks on behalf of the silent majority.

Bravo.

like a spoiled toddler

Hehehe

:e: >I’m also pulling Sane off v/TIL

Looks like I'm re-subbing then. Thank you.

:e2: Also the sticky should be removed.
