I'm beginning to think of the Q migration as less of a migration, and more an infiltration. The things these people post are not voat material, aren't even real in many cases, and they circle jerk each other into psychosis with it. Seriously, they're talking about Q and Kavanaugh being Jesus over there. I don't believe that many of these actors are people. I believe they are cover.
A group of people are certain that the government is intentionally acting against their own wishes, but even the government is made up of common folk; not everyone in the system is in support of this plan. Then out of nowhere someone posts on 4Chan a long list of questions and vague comments that revolve around a government cabal that is working towards world domination, and better yet, some of these comments and questions could possibly be interpreted to relate to current events that could possibly indicate this thought of a government cabal is legitimate. At that point you start sifting through the news to find stories that relate to the posts made by this 4Chan user and after finding a couple dozen possible links, you have it in your head that this guy knows what he's talking about. When you go back online you start to see other people have found different pieces of possible evidence that could corroborate your hunch that this cabal exists, further reinforcing in your mind the idea that this Q is legit and that you're finally onto the crooked man behind the curtain.
I can understand where these users are coming from, but I can also see the very real risk of paid opposition trying to send people down the wrong path to get them off the trail if this thing was legitimate. There may be a truth buried in there somewhere, but the passion these Q followers have could put the fictional Fight Club community to shame, and it's based entirely on Vague comments from an anonymous poster on a site infamous for Trolls. Of course, the same could be said for Pizzagate and 9/11 hoaxers too. It seems to me that these people are trying to do the right thing, but act on anything that reinforces their mindset over a shred of solid evidence.
There has to be a way to view the site's member stats,
Look at the join date, look at the number of points. If the points/downvoats/earned upvoats are way out of line for what the norm has always been previously - suspend their voatpower, remove their points, give them a time out (they can post but can't up or downvoat - they can't accumulate points either)..
Are any of these options possible?
I get the whole free speech and no bans - but you have to protect what you've built.
replying to you made me realize that a possible solution would be to have an administrator disable the vote feature only in suspect submissions.
This puts a lot of weight on the Admins who have jobs outside of Voat. Their work for this site is very much pro bono, and it's unfair to ask them to do more for us. This is why people take such pride in taking part in the Voat Auto-Immune whatever, since it shows they're willing to help the Admins out. Putt detailed the reasons and rules on the CCP restrictions here
Also, bear in mind that the reason that the restrictions based on CCP levels was due to spammers on the site filling the Main pages with false popularity to the spammers subject.
From my understanding, Qfugees left due to being called names, and getting downvoated for begging for CCP to circumvent site policies put in place to deter spammers. Goats call eachother niggerfaggot as a hazing practice, but also as a term of endearment, and as a means of symbolizing that anything goes on this site so long as it isn't blatantly illegal. The downvoats came because we still have a real problem with spammers on this site, so a mass wave of CCP beggars will probably have spammers mixed in the group, and we're not about to support spammers on this site by letting beggars beg. If you want to participate in this site, then participate. Build your CCP naturally, interact with the native communities, and you'll have your restrictions lifted in no time.
None of the above!!
Yes, we read the 'newbees' post. Nothing of that bothered us!
There aren't enough Q Supporters on the site to make it worthwhile reading thru all the crap to read one from them! No, We avoided the crap on Twitter, too, but we could 'Block' those for our personal preferences. There are no filters available here! Thanks anyway. Just not our gig!
you can block whomever you want to block, except for anonymized subs. block the entire sub and you wont see any q-fools anymore. dont do it and you may even learn a thing or two.
We thought you were asking.
We will just try for a year, like some dude said he did.
Man! Just wish we could bock/delete/hide the crazies! We are in Twitter 'Detox,' will try 'patience'!
I'm sorry, but your posts genuinely look like word salad to me. I don6t mean any offense by that, but I can't make heads or tails of what message you're trying to convey.
We are just so naive, we actually believed we were going to see comments from Q Supporters.
Very disappointing and disturbing. If there is a site where former Q Supporters go and discuss today's happenings let us know somehow.
We have not found Q's link to 'VOAT' to work for anything, but vial nastiness!
One out of 25 so-called 'comments' or 'discussions' may actually be from a 'former' Q supporter, just cannot enjoy the comment for all the 'Crap' that goes with it! We are done! Will look again another day.
Very Disappointing! and Disturbing!
It's just another way to describe farmed CCP. If you didn't make a real comment then you're looking for handouts, or freebies. Just make comments that contribute to the discussion, or ask questions like you're doing, and people will upvote if they agree with you. If you go around asking for upvotes, then you'll catch more downvotes than you typically would get upvotes.
I'm not strictly against a report for vote farming option, considering what happened during the whole Q fiasco, but I don't quite think it's needed. As many of the hardcore, self-proclaimed "goats" around here are fond of pointing out, Voat has an immune system, and a very effective one at that. If an entire group of users step out of line, most goats go full-blitzkrieg and handle the problem. If we had more reporting options, then You'd start to see individuals getting targeted, which is unacceptable.
To be honest, on the one hand I'd like to see more report options Myself, but on the other hand I understand *why *there's so few options or rules in the first place, because people will abuse said options to silence others. Credit where credit is due: As much as I hate the nazi shit around here, so far no attempt at censoring Me by the site itself has occurred, and if I can come on here and call the general populous a bunch of bratwurst-sucking hitlarpers (and vice-versa everyone else can call Me a JIDF-shill-faggot-whatever) and not get insta-banned, that means Voat is working properly, and hasn't descended entirely into echo-chamber status.
This place is like a post-apocalypse world; Sure it sucks that You run into some awful shit on a regular basis, and that other users can be real dicks, but so can You, which is the system of balance that works the best.
these African idiots killing all the farmers where do you think your gonna get your food from you idiots doing all the killing aint gonna do it I guess your ok with starvation it reminds of the nfl except those are supposed to be educated I call them educated idiots what is with my follows blacks why cant you use your fuckking heads it dont cost anything but i guess thats to much for the educated idiots
Upvoat farms are popping up faster than legitimate users can post about them, and the Qfugees who disagree with Voat policy outnumber Voat users. If the most recent migration was a small collection of users, that would be one thing and this post would be irrelevant. This situation is one of the largest migrations this site has seen. The fact that certain new users have been informed that farming is against the rules and continue to farm openly presents a legitimate concern to the site. At least the spammers have the decency to hide behind legitimate views instead of making submissions like this
oh! I missunderstood the problem, my bad, they are really being niggers! I thought you were talking about those annoying niggerfaggot shit posters like me, although internet points are of little interest to me, But stealing a plebbitors ill gotten gains might hold some small modicum of pleasure. Let me know how/if I can help.
Keep an eye on new posts in v/theawakening, v/greatawakening, and v/protectvoat for reports of Upvote farms, and let loose on beggars and subs that are supposed to be farms.
We do have a problem with downvoating unpopular opinions here, but someone Upvoat farming is trying to circumvent the rules implemented to protect Free Speech, which voids their claim to Free Speech.
Yup, I did agree with that post, and I would love to see admins do something to prevent unpopular opinions being restricted on a site that promotes unrestricted Free Speech.
I'll reiterate though, anyone trying to circumvent Voat Policies to artificially boost their CCP aren't trying to participate in a community that protects Free Speech, they're trying to abuse it.
I'm not opposed to that, but a required comment doesn't mean they'll explain their downvoat. They'll just make an obligatory comment saying "No", "Fuckyoufag.jpeg" or "Obligatory Downvoat comment". That'll just name the person downvoating rather than deter the action in the first place.
I'm not sure how that could be scripted into the site effectively without Admin oversight on a daily basis. Putt and Atko have lives outside of Voat that should take precedence to internet pissing contests. Justified or not, it's still a fight on the internet which is like running in the special Olympics; You may win the race but you're still a retard in the end.
I really wish I had a good answer since there are opinions that do get downvoated though simply because Voat's culture has it's own form of wrong-think, but that's been a problem too for years on here. I'm just uncertain as to how that can be protected effectively without human intervention too. Also, not a bad discussion for a 13 hour old account!
If posts are not exhorting one another, like an admin making comment about posts, then
we'll have limited intelligent response, and more of loud talking..
It takes some time to kick in. It's also a toggle, so stop clicking it.
Go to the subverse page, check the sidebar, if there's a button that says "block" then click it. If it says "unblock" then it's already blocked... just give it a few minutes.
That's really odd. It shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes max.
Are you subscribed to it by any chance? If so, try unsubscribing. Subscribed and blocked subs will show up on the front page but not in /v/all.
Do you see it listed on your blocked sub set? If not, try adding it (you can just type "qrv" in the toggle search box) and waiting a few minutes (refresh your blocked sub page to check it was added). If yes, try removing it, waiting a few mins, then adding it back and waiting a few mins again.
If all that fails, I can't help you. It should really work. Try getting PuttItOut's attention.
"Don't feed the wildlife. It creates dependent populations who will become unable to feed themselves."
Make quality posts (or at least posts that aren't total shit) and get upvoats naturally, and also learn to create quality posts while doing so. Win-win!
I just got a look around QRV. I actually thought voat was hacked for a second. They are cringy, weird, faggoty and do not fit in here but there is apparently hundreds of them. Either that or they are making dozens of alts each. They seem to want to "convert" voat which is a disgusting thought since my initial impression is they are r/thedonald from murdoch-murdoch
There were 330,000 IP addresses on 8 chan when Q had a great Q&A
That's why he asked the BO to come here with QVR to give us a place. You all don't own Voat, do you? If you do, then I would think you would want the traffic as long as we don't bother you. What's the real deal?
There are tens of thousands of them. As someone who's been following the Q stuff from the sidelines for a while now I can say that although Its a weird little cult, the aims of the majority of them seem to be genuine care for the republic.
But they are a bit of a cult and I don't trust them even if I hope Q is true.
I think what I hate most is how it's just trying to game the system like a dirty jew. All you have to do is post. Someone will upvote something you've said and you interact with the community and find out what other people think. It's great cause you can find out all kinds of new ideas and ways of thinking. I just don't get why someone would want to bypass all that in order to gain rights they don't earn to do shit to try to bend others to their will without even trying to find out if such action is even necessary.
How does it do that - where does it explain the whys and wherefors - I really want to get to the bottom of this, now - your's is probably the first explanation of the rule, so thanks. Thinking for myself and questioning authority.
Spammers used to created subverses for their bot armies and make senseless posts, upvoting each other to look like legitmate users. So a 30 day rule was put into account for subverse creation. It didn't matter, as spammers already had established accounts here, though it did stop brand new entities for a limited time. Some of these bot armies would massively downvoat people.
So minimum CCP requirements were also put into place that aren't too restrictive to new users. If the spammers can't make new posts to earn CCP for their bots, they can't hide as easily. If spammers need 100 CPP to downvote, they can't harass other users as effectively.
This doesn't stop the ones who have an effective foothold here, though they are few in number as they get weeded out, but it does make it much harder for the newer ones.
Still vote farming, which is against the rules. 10 CCP isn't some impossible feat to achieve. Q people have something like 7000 users on the site now, a simple comment about Q would easily get them their 10.
There are all kinds of comments and content submitted. Who is any one person to determine the quality? It's the communities decision. The admin doesn't have the time (money) to review the reported content. Granted it could be automated to some extent, but at the end of the day to prevent someone from being brigaded by bots a person would have to put a fair amount of time into reviewing the person being reported and the people reporting them. Personally I'd rather see other site features be built out. You really have to prioritize features when you have limited resources.
I might hope so too. It'd be great to have this place back to normal again. /all has been destroyed with Q crap from what I've seen, and it's an all out trolling war between pre-existing users and new users to pill them out of their qtardation. Q has always been about wasting peoples time. This is just another. If some people want to take the time and effort, by all means. But there is real shit going on in the world and this is on of the few places left on the internet where it can be shared and discussions about it can take place.
Maybe @PuttItOut could set up a q.voat.co walled garden for these people I think that would solve a lot of the problems people have been having over the past week while still allowing him to hold on to the new users. There may be some way to build out features to integrate the migrants over time, but this is essentially a hostile board takeover. The honeymoon ended in a few short days. This is really causing a lot of problems within the community.
Just visit /v/protectvoat, there's loads of links there to people openly asking for upvotes, and creating threads/entire subverses with no other purpose than farming.
I think the blatant demands for Upvoats is all that could reasonably covered by this rule, not so much the posts that everyone knows will get upvoats. One is clearly a rule violation, the other is an example of knowing your target audience.

Do you see it listed on your blocked sub set? If not, try adding it (you can just type "qrv" in the toggle search box) and waiting a few minutes (refresh your blocked sub page to check it was added). If yes, try removing it, waiting a few mins, then adding it back and waiting a few mins again.
If all that fails, I can't help you. It should really work. Try getting PuttItOut's attention.

@Uncle_Slob it also doesn't work if you are still subscribed.

Why the fuck does it matter if people are begging for votes and they get them? If people want to give them votes, who are you to stop them?

"Don't feed the wildlife. It creates dependent populations who will become unable to feed themselves."
Make quality posts (or at least posts that aren't total shit) and get upvoats naturally, and also learn to create quality posts while doing so. Win-win!

Let them farm vote's, I got 100 ccp now. I will just down voat the shit out of the things they post. Problem solved. Lol
Itsdone63 ago
I just got a look around QRV. I actually thought voat was hacked for a second. They are cringy, weird, faggoty and do not fit in here but there is apparently hundreds of them. Either that or they are making dozens of alts each. They seem to want to "convert" voat which is a disgusting thought since my initial impression is they are r/thedonald from murdoch-murdoch
Gypsynurse ago
There were 330,000 IP addresses on 8 chan when Q had a great Q&A That's why he asked the BO to come here with QVR to give us a place. You all don't own Voat, do you? If you do, then I would think you would want the traffic as long as we don't bother you. What's the real deal?
Qatholic ago
Typical "free speech" faggot who thinks "free speech" means that crude language is obligatory and that miserable grammar proves one's superiority.
Free speech does not preclude decent manners.

Degenerate.

Qucumbers are snowflakes too.

Thank you; I'll pray for your soul.

Souls don't exist, sheep.
Rawrination ago
There are tens of thousands of them. As someone who's been following the Q stuff from the sidelines for a while now I can say that although Its a weird little cult, the aims of the majority of them seem to be genuine care for the republic.
But they are a bit of a cult and I don't trust them even if I hope Q is true.
soulmario ago
it is true trust your instinks keep on fighting for truth our world is at a turning point
411Qintel411 ago
Question everything and think critically and the truth will reveal itself.
StraightCashComey ago
You're absolutely right! [Thanks in advance for the upvotes]
Gorillion ago
Naw, I've been downvoating the beggars.
Exceptional ago
Load me up with upvotes. Thank you.
Merlynn ago
I think what I hate most is how it's just trying to game the system like a dirty jew. All you have to do is post. Someone will upvote something you've said and you interact with the community and find out what other people think. It's great cause you can find out all kinds of new ideas and ways of thinking. I just don't get why someone would want to bypass all that in order to gain rights they don't earn to do shit to try to bend others to their will without even trying to find out if such action is even necessary.
Like I said,they're just like dirty jews.
Silverlining ago
Because we want it and we want it now!! And the rule sucks.
Merlynn ago
Without the rule,this place becomes Reddit and then we all get kicked out.
DoveKind53 ago
Truly, it forces you to get out of your comfort zone of lurking and take a step into the battle. I’m utilizing the full armor Q quoted - Eph. 6:12
Gypsynurse ago
It sure does bring you out of your comfort zone. The word I use to hate the most was FART and that's a FACT 🚬 makes me want to start smoking again.
soulmario ago
full armor is right so many are without the knoleg to know any better
Merlynn ago
Great,spam bots. How original.
FrozenFire74 ago
I'm a tard it seems. I thought I only had the beta badge, so I was confused as to how you got an alpha badge with an account younger than mine.
Silverlining ago
Looks like rules for the sheep - Welcome to the New World - same as the old one!
TestForScience ago
This account is only 1.5 years old and I have the Alpha Tester Badge too.
(Been here longer than that)

Drop the rules already! What don't people understand about Freedom? Q is not for Quisling!
Helbrecht ago
Yeah, rules are for squares, man! Don't integrate!
Fuck
Silverlining ago
Did you join my Club, yet? Have you fund a better one? Very best wishes on the Equinox. Day of half light and half dark.
Silverlining ago
You can integrate with me, if you like. Do you need a set of Club Rules or can I make thm up as we go along? Welcome Aboard!
Helbrecht ago
Lol thanks nigger
Gorillion ago
Fuck off Greycloud, you fucking pedo cunt.
Silverlining ago
Uncalled for
FrozenFire74 ago
That rule is in place to protect Voat from spammers, which has been a problem since Day 1
Silverlining ago
How does it do that - where does it explain the whys and wherefors - I really want to get to the bottom of this, now - your's is probably the first explanation of the rule, so thanks. Thinking for myself and questioning authority.
kneo24 ago
Spammers used to created subverses for their bot armies and make senseless posts, upvoting each other to look like legitmate users. So a 30 day rule was put into account for subverse creation. It didn't matter, as spammers already had established accounts here, though it did stop brand new entities for a limited time. Some of these bot armies would massively downvoat people.
So minimum CCP requirements were also put into place that aren't too restrictive to new users. If the spammers can't make new posts to earn CCP for their bots, they can't hide as easily. If spammers need 100 CPP to downvote, they can't harass other users as effectively.
This doesn't stop the ones who have an effective foothold here, though they are few in number as they get weeded out, but it does make it much harder for the newer ones.
FrozenFire74 ago
But your account is only 2.7 years old?
FrozenFire74 ago
My bad fam. Also, how did you get an alpha tester badge from 2015 if your account is 2.7 years old?
4n0nym0u5 ago
They only care about getting to 10.
FrozenFire74 ago
Still vote farming, which is against the rules. 10 CCP isn't some impossible feat to achieve. Q people have something like 7000 users on the site now, a simple comment about Q would easily get them their 10.
Mumbleberry ago
100% this!!!!
fluhthreeex ago
^ reported for vote farming
There are all kinds of comments and content submitted. Who is any one person to determine the quality? It's the communities decision. The admin doesn't have the time (money) to review the reported content. Granted it could be automated to some extent, but at the end of the day to prevent someone from being brigaded by bots a person would have to put a fair amount of time into reviewing the person being reported and the people reporting them. Personally I'd rather see other site features be built out. You really have to prioritize features when you have limited resources.
WillGreeley ago
HAhahahahaha Community? Like HRC's 'Village'? That community?? Hope Q takes a Que and denounces this 'Crap'!!
fluhthreeex ago
I might hope so too. It'd be great to have this place back to normal again. /all has been destroyed with Q crap from what I've seen, and it's an all out trolling war between pre-existing users and new users to pill them out of their qtardation. Q has always been about wasting peoples time. This is just another. If some people want to take the time and effort, by all means. But there is real shit going on in the world and this is on of the few places left on the internet where it can be shared and discussions about it can take place.
Maybe @PuttItOut could set up a q.voat.co walled garden for these people I think that would solve a lot of the problems people have been having over the past week while still allowing him to hold on to the new users. There may be some way to build out features to integrate the migrants over time, but this is essentially a hostile board takeover. The honeymoon ended in a few short days. This is really causing a lot of problems within the community.
Broc_Lia ago
Granted it can be vague, but there are many explicit examples which can and should be reported.
Gypsynurse ago
Example please
Broc_Lia ago
Just visit /v/protectvoat, there's loads of links there to people openly asking for upvotes, and creating threads/entire subverses with no other purpose than farming.
Mumbleberry ago
So, "Please upvoat me" is ok in your book? But yeah, it would be difficult to implement fairly.
FrozenFire74 ago
I think the blatant demands for Upvoats is all that could reasonably covered by this rule, not so much the posts that everyone knows will get upvoats. One is clearly a rule violation, the other is an example of knowing your target audience.
Mumbleberry ago
Works for me.
Sosacms ago
Yes, all comments are equal, because all can be ignored equally. The only exception would be spam or harmful links.
