Dude, this is just Shill tactics 101.

Playbook

1.) Disinformation - put out as much crap knowledge as possible, or repeat information in a horrible (impolite, no sources, etc.) way to make us look crazy

2.) Dissuasion - mass accounts down voting and saying you suck (here requires sleeper accounts, racking up points by making stupid short agreement posts and comments)

3.) Concealment - make sure good information disappears (compromise the mods, flood the systems with pointless posts)

Currently with voat 1 and 2 are hard until they get in more sleeper accounts. But, that will change when they get idiots up voting everything, especially in a sleeper account circle jerk.

You may as well consider it an inevitable that this place will get overran by these assholes. Unlike a DDoS there's not much in OPSEC which can really fight against this in the open.

For the time being, I am announcing just in case their are newcomers who don't know... others may be handled differently. Taking a gentle approach first.

Maybe you could also change rule 9's background to be a flaming gif. BIG BOLD TEXT, and new comers get a 1 time .mp3 paying (WE"RE WATCHING YOU)!!!

Now I'm just having fun. But yeah, reminders are good.
