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, thus preventing their main accounts from being downvoted and thus restricted. I am done letting this group stomp all over Voat unfettered* like a spoiled toddler and pushing me to enact draconian rules to prevent them from doing so.

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.

They setup an unwinnable situation for Voat, and no matter Voat’s action, they can claim a victory.

If Voat bans them, they claim censorship. If Voat does nothing, reasonable users depart. Regardless of the action, a user subset will be infuriated, and this is entirely the purpose, divide and conquer. We all need to recognize exactly what is happening here. This isn’t about a single user, this is about an organized effort.

If you ever wondered why Reddit has so many private and obfuscated areas in code, fuzzed counters, shadow bans, etc.? It is to stop groups like this. 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.

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.

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.

- @puttitout sanctions downvoat brigades against dissenters of the sjw srs control of voat (over 18,000 downvoats on my account, coupled with dozens of massive spam attacks on subs i mod, and thousands of hours spent attacking my character and attempting to turn the community against me, gaslight me, assassinate my character, wear me down, tens of thousands of comments and thousands of front page upvoat brigaded posts, and all the disinformation tactics in the book. not 1 single one of these criminal shills, nor downvoat brigaders were banned nor even warned, but @puttitout this confirmed criminal shill against freedom of speech of the highest order, badged a shill with a unique badge in 1 hour, for sjw shilling against community and also,

- @puttitout bans anyone preventing or slowing that silencing of dissent https://voat.co/api/bannedusers (see 2x groupings of goatku and friends) with secret bans in secret courts with secret judges with secret rules, with no warning, and no appeal. any amount they feel is upvoat brigading, and you may be banned. but downvoat brigading to silence free speech is protected.

over 150 accounts banned for voat manipulation with less than 10 votes ever given. a few accounts with ZERO votes ever given have also been banned for "vote manipulation."

- @puttitout supports and sanctions harassment and defamy campaigns against dissenters mega list of shills on voat an example of a criminal shill in the SJW organization

@puttitout threatens users doing nothing wrong https://archive.fo/TPPmG https://archive.fo/ym8Z6
@puttitout only hit and runs, misdirections, plays dumb, strawmans, etc, never meaningfully communicates with the userbase about serious issues, and creats anon discussions for SRS to create false consensus https://voat.co/user/puttitout/comments?page=3 https://voat.co/user/puttitout/comments?page=2 https://voat.co/user/puttitout/comments?page=1 https://voat.co/user/puttitout/comments https://voat.co/v/announcements/1557385 https://voat.co/v/announcements/1551024
@puttitout considers voat too much like reddit already but continues to add more restrictions to voat, and give more power to shills https://voat.co/v/voatdev/1707835/8368891/10#8368891
@puttitout pushes behavioral restrictions on all users, using the Slippery Slope fallacy american have seen most glaringly used to support the TSA in airports: megalist of censorship tools on voat

- @puttitout lies to the userbase. https://archive.fo/QR5Bk claims they don't remove points, yet was just proven to have removed over a thousand ccp from my account, and admitted it https://voat.co/v/whatever/1739271/8513784/10#8513784 lies right to your faces.

- @puttitout lies to the userbase again. https://archive.fo/P79EZ a month later, more bans, and no clarification. 100% lied to your face.

and now puttitout confirms he's against anyone speaking out against him. confirms stealing private subs. all private subs are fair game. voat exodus is now in full effect.
