If you are a shill, you are going to react negatively to this post, so give yourself a break, go pour yourself a cup of piss or whatever it is you drink on breaks, and smoke a nice toxin stick to smooth your shattered shill nerves - in other words you'll want to skip this post.
For the good guys, white hats, newbs who care, sinceres and others here are a couple of things to help you in your investigations at Voat.
SHILL SHAME THREAD Shills are a fact of life at Voat as demonstrated by this https://voat.co/v/newsubverses/1723290 new subverse where you can post your exhuberant shill destroying arguments and comments. Don't let your epic shill battering be lost down the rabbit bowel holes of Voat, collect them and store them and share them here.
SEARCH WORKAROUND - it has been noted with some hilarity that the tech team here decided that it was okay to make no announcement and take the search bar down, put it on a car lift, and examine it very very thoroughly and thoughtfully with special gynocological equipment kept in Vindicator's desk. Ok, that is not actually accurate. It has been taken down for over 2 days now to see if the Voat site can handle searches, or something like that. Let the tech wiz who did it explain it:

I did it. We are currently looking at how much cpu search uses so we are getting a benchmark with the site running without it. Should be back on tomorrow. Apologies. https://voat.co/v/whatever/1722614/8428496
So there is going to be searching like nobody's business here again right away, yesterday in fact according to the techie working on it...At least that is what we are told by the ever loving mods here who never, ever, I mean never get enough credit, cause you know, they all work for absolutely free and are basically our slaves. (That last part is humor, I don't want to get flaired for accuracy, so I Have to put in this message.)
Anyway, to help them out so they don't have to answer any more of our stoopid questions, I've looked for a workaround which seems to be this: https://searchvoat.co/ And here is a thread with
TIPS FOR USING VOAT SEARCH https://voat.co/v/VoatSearch/1278366
It's far from perfect, but it probably won't be going anywhere very soon, unless pizzagate investigators are really that much of a burden to Voat with a little search bar in their hands.
The mods are so smart and helpful here that I'm sure some of them will chime right in with some other better ways to search our subforum. I can't wait to hear their positive feedback on this helpful post with their great suggestions! Can you?

Hahaha. Great intro. Love it!
I too want the search bar back and I think it's a shame that the '100 submission points buffering before downvoating' rule has been cancelled without notice.
I almost feel like a little girl begging her heartless stepmother for her bike back or something. That little girl knows it's totally up to her 'handler' and deep down inside knows it's a waste of time, but she still begs for it back because she can't bring herself to stay silent and continues to harbour some small secret hope that she'll be able to bring about some sense of compassion out of her stepmother. There's another word for it too: pathetic LOL
Gotta be able to laugh at yourself sometimes to keep your sanity intact.

thanks for that. Watch your great sense of humor YYM, if the mods find out that it is helping you out, they'll try to take that away too!
