I think it's just Voat's algorithm doing strange things, unless my crazy theory about deleted accounts refreshing the upvoat/downvoat totals on locked content is correct. I don't think it's a big enough deal to stress Puttitout about considering he's trying to port voat to linux currently, and reduce costs.
My only advice is sort by new. That's less manipulated by upvotes anyways. There's also imageboards you can go to, to discuss, that aren't influenced by up and downvoats.
At this point, all I can say is this is a pretty popular post, I have channeled what a lot of people here have thought. Read through my conversation with Pimm all the way if you have time - the abuse here is so thick it turns a corner and becomes laughable as in real lols
Thanks for your answer and interest btw. People here have wondered if older posts are being deleted from the system which messes with the algo. Possibly just to save space, not even b/c of the boogieman CIA or whatever.
All these shitbags from Reddit posing as Voaters, who never research or participate in PG just LOOOOOVEEE to come in here when things heat up and tell everybody what dumb cunts they are, lecture, belittle, and basically leave everyone feeling really shitty by saying nothing will ever come of any of it... These are the paid mother fuckers on this site.
