We at v/Pizzagate just experienced a HUGE shill attack, with many of our members (myself included) reporting that their accounts have been downvoted into the negative numbers LITERALLY overnight. It looks as though someone just went through our post history and downvoted everything between 6-8 times. Here are some screenshots of my post history after this attack: https://sli.mg/AGBHuL , https://sli.mg/ukttB5 , https://sli.mg/CW4J0r , https://sli.mg/4TBOeQ .
We know this was the work of shills, so please post here if this has happened to you. Maybe if we all post proof, the admins can look into what accounts are responsible for this.
At any rate, this sub will not be stopped. If they thought this would somehow discourage us from finding the truth, they were 100% wrong. We will continue to stand as a community and we will not let these hollowed-out human-husks discourage us from bringing the pedophile elite into a glaring spotlight.

Just like "Moderation Logs", this site could use "User vote logs" that show who's voted and how. Perhaps make it toggle-able by mods depending on the sub or something. It's just an idea, but something like that could seriously help combat the shills.

Haha, no. If your account is old enough it is invincible. I don't want someone comming after me just because I disliked their particular nsfw contribution.
At the very least the admins have the vote record so they can identify abusive behavior. What we really need and I've argued for about a year and a half now is downvote rations.
When you are new you can't downvote at all, but when you are not new there is no reason you need more then 10 downvotes in a day. Instead they get hundreds per day.

this is incorrect

Ok guy with 3 days on voat. I'm sure you know more about voat than me.
Very old submissions cannot be downvoted. This means that for my comparatively few submissions that are available to be downvoted they would need hundreds of accounts to counter the year of upvotes I've had on this account.
But if we put in downvote rations then they would need even more accounts because they would want to use their accounts to downvote other people and would have none left for me. That is more than 100 accounts would need to be managed for them to do what they do now.
Right now what they are able to do to you can be done with 8 accounts. They just downvote everything you have. If you make 25 posts or comments they can knock you down 200, and they can repeat for as many users as they like.
200 against me would do nothing. If I post more 400 would be nothing. They could keep it up and then it would be a problem. They could take me out on CCP in 10 weeks if they worked it straight. But some simple downvote restrictions of some kind would stop them dead. It would stop them dead on your issue as well.

listen buttmunch, i am smarter than you.
bikergang_accountant ago
No you're not. Do you have an IQ of 180?
If you were smarter than me which is statistically possible even when the threshold is 180 you would have maybe capitalized or recognized that I'm not arguing with you but providing more information. That fact that you can't differenciate an informational conversation from an emotional one tells me that you aren't 180.
So I am factually smarter than you but I'm not trying to have a fight over. You can take my information as you will.
I don't care who's smarter. I provided information and you can't articulate a better point. You can only say, hurr durr, I'm smarter as if that's an argument. I'm making Tucker Carlson face right now. Dumb ass milinials that think because that they have the right politics they are somehow smart. Describes the both of you and it's sad how dumb the world has gotten.
Must be why you need downvotes because you only know how to lash out against things you disagree with instead of thinking about them.
