Buckle up. Voat is currently being hit with a malicious attack. This couldn't have possibly happened at a worse time for me personally and I may have to put Voat into lockdown mode or even set it to Read Only. Perhaps we will resurrect the
bit privilege checking goat (you know you miss having your bits privilege checked).
I'm hoping that the code is in a good enough place to handle a majority of the incoming traffic, but expect slow responses.
I will try my best to keep Voat online. Wish me luck.
Edit:
I'm still waiting for the main attack. Every DDOS we've been hit with before follows a pattern of probing exploits, quiet time, then the full attack. So we will see, but waiting is the hardest part
Edit 2:
As of now I feel they've postponed. After taking us down two times the morning of this announcement, I've seen no further activity. A temporary win I suppose.

Hmmm i just got in a troll war with that piece of shit.. he has friends helping him because he was getting 2 up votes for about every 4 downvotes and the shit that was getting up votes no normal human would upvote.. good work take it to that piece of shit.

Here's my recent post about him and his shenanigans.
It would not shock me much if the friends helping him are the friends from his betapodcast.
And, for the record, I'm sort of serious that this current attack could very well be coming from him. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but he is the most recently disgruntled user, has been getting called out by multiple goats as a troll/jew/shill, appears to have some webskills, and has a group of like-minded friends who could be helping him.

Would be nice if we had a trustworthy sub dedicated to outing alt accounts. Then we could go down the lists and add the pre-made labels to their tags. Could look like this.

Sounds good to me. Seems like v/protectvoat could be good for this. Maybe that's too broad a sub tho.

Haven't seen any face shots, just cheesy stock photo stills. His voice and way of speaking should tell you (((everything))) you need to know though.
