If there are certain users that you want to block, it's easy with a Greasemonkey script. For instance, this is what I use:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Voat Post Filterer
// @namespace   http://vvvvvvooooooaaaaattttt.co
// @description Filter Voat Posts By Username
// @include     https://voat.co/v/*
// @include     https://*.voat.co/v/*
// @include     https://voat.co/new*
// @include     https://*.voat.co/new*
// @include     https://*.voat.co/
// @include     https://voat.co/
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

var blockedUsers = new Array("gabara", "gramman74", "GhostSkin", "BrainStemNemesis", "shadow332", "I_EAT_DIARRHEA", "Aged", "Not_Mattvision", "Zacchaeus", "CwfAww", "mp4box", "Cannibalguy", "Shekelsteinblatt", "jvrdxn", "TwoTonTessy", "NinjaNipples", "John22"); 

var divas, name, aa;
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
for (var a=0; a<divs.length; a++) {
  bb = divs[a].getAttribute("class");
  if (bb!=null && bb.indexOf("submission")!=-1) {
  divas = divs[a].getElementsByTagName("a");
  for (var b=0; b<divas.length; b++) {
    name = "";
    aa = divas[b].getAttribute("class");
    if (aa!=null) {
    }
    
    if (aa!=null && aa.indexOf("author")!=-1) {
     name = divas[b].getAttribute("data-username");
     if (blockedUsers.indexOf(name)!=-1) {
        divs[a].setAttribute("style", "display:none!important; visibility:hidden!important;");
        break;
      }
    }
  }
 }
}

Good idea

not to mention it would help a lot with the fucking boomers proselytizing constantly.

We will implement this via a package (port of AVE), not in the core of Voat itself.

Unless you're using a browser from 1994, the links should have a visited state and thus will be a different color.

Most modern browsers since ie was first created have implemented the visited link option. Your link changes color so you know you have been to it.

There is also a factor that this does use cpu cycles up so it isn’t a very friendly code option.

I’d rather have post by X user blocked.

Hell of a good idea!

I'm sorry but we're currently not going to be able to implement anything like that. We've got our hands tied with the new format we're going to be laying out soon, it takes a lot of work. Thank you for the suggestion though. We have some exciting new changes right around the corner for you goats.

Plz.

Or have it hidden once you voat on it.

Browse by new! It’s a great way to see Voat’s seedy underbelly of under-appreciated posts.

I remember reddit had a feature that is you voted on something it would hide the post. If you're really looking for new posts though, why not just brose /v/all/new?
