Also, I must say there is always something missing when we research a case, there is always a hanging thread that we just can't unravel. Whenever one of us finds something they categorize it as a Potential Lead or Clue. Who keeps track of this stuff. We should add it all together and see what we come up with. Also, if we do have some really important clues that add up and we have serious evidence, who do we take this to that we can trust (and I do not mean any of the YT Idols). I am really interested in hearing everyone's thoughts.

Who keeps track of this stuff. We should add it all together and see what we come up with.

The design of the voat software scatters things out and stops conversations about topics from going further. I don't think it is intentional it is just a byproduct of the design.

That does not happen in a forum that works on a bump system. On a bump system forum everytime somebody posts in a thread it bumps to the very top of the forum and everybody can see it. As new info comes in over time people use the same threads.

Ideas and subjects don't die off nearly as easily in a bump system and the info tends to stay in the same thread.

At Voat there are literally dozens of threads about the exact same subjects. I can't think of worse system to save information and keep a discussion on track. Its a train wreck for organizing information and keeping a particular aspects of a themed discussion alive.

For example there should really only be one Harvey Weinstein thread that everybody posts to. That thread/post would be active as long as information came in and it would all be together. As interest in it eventually died out it would stop rising to the top of the forum. If new info came in it would bump to the top of the forum because somebody posted something in it.

All the info would be together in just a couple of threads.

Voat's design is the opposite. It scatters info everywhere and kills topics. Not on purpose in my opinion, just an unfortunate side effect of the design.

Bump refers to cocaine, just so you know what the MSM is now saying about 4chan, it is where you can buy and sell drugs because of all the bumping over there.

I didn't know that MSM was trying to equate a bump forum with cocaine. I knew cocaine and "bump" were affiliated but I didn't know about the MSM part. Not surprised though. Guess we have to come up with a new term.

cocaine and revenge porn. Anything they have to do to compromise the truth.
