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.

Piggy backing on this to say thank you to @PuttItOut for crushing this shill.
There should always be free speech, but sometimes you have to err on the side of what's right and in this case, this kind of transparency is exactly how you do it. Well done.

Fool. SGIS was the anti-shill master. he made what the SJW, ie SRS was doing to voat in the shadows obvious. Before there was no proof. now it's clear what the shills have done. that's why most real goats have left voat. SGIS made clear that voat is not a place to have your say, but a control test bed for the shills to test attacks on the dissidents, free speakers, the non-sheeple.
but now thanks to SGIS, it's clear as day that voat has been taken over just like reddit, even down to the ceo replacement. only difference is instead of overt censorship they have underhanded censorship, but all the same both sites have hard-coded into the site pure authoritarian censorship.
voat is for the shills.
if you actually believe what you have written in your comment, then you are either a shill or so stupid as to believe what the shills have slung at you: lies without proof, defamation, and poisoning the well.
in the end, you are why free speech has fallen worldwide; all of the yous out there that do nothing, or worse, fall to their weak tactics due to lack of mental fortitude and jump on the bandwagon.

Here's how I know you're a queef, you use "sheeple" un-ironically. Back to reddit, baby dick.
