I think he's showing that the admins on VOAT have unlimited upvotes, so they can bump up an article or BS that's not really upvoted. It kinda explain's why I keep seeing the same crap on my pizzagate cover page and have to dig threw /v/pizzagate/new for more informative leads and content.
Negative. Voat only has two admins. These guys hes pointing out are moderators which do not have the power to upvoat unlimitedly.
What he is showing is voting manipulation which would mean they have multiple accounts and they could essentially spam a post to the top or bury an opposing post to oblivion.
This would explain how we are seeing seeing some absurd posts getting to the front page, they're probably testing out Voat's system.
I saw this posted on 8ch. The images are from reddit not voat. Most specifically, the "+32" is from an addon called Reddit Enhancement Suite / RES and does not work with voat. You don't need to be a mod or have RES to do this though. One only needs to sign up for multiple accounts to do this sort of shit. RES on reddit makes it much easier though because it has a fast user switching mechanism. Still unethical.
No. To my understanding, the accused mods were able to manipulate the votes on Reddit. I just want clarity; if they were being dishonest there, I don't want them poisoning Voat too. Scrutiny.
Just guessing, but there are a lot of new people here, myself included. Couldn't that just be all the new users, coming with a mix of shittiness that everyone can expect with large influxes of new users?
I don't know how 8chan works, but apparently everything is temporary. I linked the original 8chan post and the links below are from the 8chan post itself [(infinite chan-ception, heh) for those who'd rather not visit 8chan for whatever reason].
