First off, @ESOTERICshade is @rarepeeks. This is not a joke. Yes, there are loads of archives and image backups that will never be deleted, should he disappear or delete.
Why is this a problem? Manufacturing consensus and vote manipulation. Other users never seem to push ESOTERIC's narrative, just his alts.
Here he is lying about his intentions in order to make his main username seem reasonable while his alts attack Vindicator.
How about voting on major changes to the subverse? His main username was ALL OVER that thread, and made THAT vote in some Crensched nest, but here's his alt's vote.
You know how the pedophiles we all want dead mock those around them by hinting at what they're really doing by admitting to something smaller?
Here he is admitting to being @smurfy69, innocently UPVOTING comments not because they were good, admitting to upvoting himself, where he has upvoted 422 times and downvoted 127 times on ONE account. Does anyone REALLY think he isn't brigading? Oh wait, Here's RAREPEEKS (ALSO ESOTERIC) numbers at 725 upvoted and 354 downvoted
@Puttitout, please see the above paragraph.
You'll also notice BOTH Esoteric and his smurfy69 account commenting in this concern troll thread by @ArtificalDuality -- both claiming to have suffered torture from directed energy weapons. Exactly the kind of LARPy concern troll bullshit known liar and drama queen @Jem777 was posting before Vindicator banned her - and she's also helping push it in this thread. You'll also find twistedmac11 joining in there.
@twistedmac11 seems more than a little invested in ESOTERICshade keeping his good name. And he always, always, always, always, JFC always, fuck... shows up to defend or agree with ESOTERIC. No, that's not everything. That's a very, VERY small fraction, yes, it's all archived and saved.
How much of what you see here has been shaped by him? Does any legitimate user really agree with him, or does he just groom new users into being his cheerleaders when he and his alts do their dirty work?
Here's @DeathtoMasonsASAP somehow finding a deeply-nested comment to respond to, and has that typical ESOTERIC-style Vindicator hate found on a verified alt here, here, and here.
Here's ES lying again about him thinking the rest of the mods are "cool" while attacking one. It's usually either that, or thinking all the mods are awful except one. Never really seems to commit one way or the other. Always has to pretend to be on the side of one of the mods, like this cringey shit where he tries to brown-nose kevdude.
I'm sure everyone now knows that the colloquially known "Donkey" is also @auralsects. What do you make of this where @auralsects responds where @ESOTERICshade should have? No, ES did NOT respond to that on the correct username at all, even after the fact. And who in their right mind would say this? Here he is talking about Donkey's JOB; who in their right minds would say THAT?
There are more usernames being researched, but what do you all see in these links?

Feel free to ping all those users you know that are friendly to this pedophile-protecting D&C shill. I fully intend to put every single one of them under the microscope, along with anyone that attacks my mods.
This is why you have a MASSIVE asshole as an [O] mod. THIS is why I'm not nice to you. THIS is why I don't do daily mod duties here. THIS is why your mods want me where I am. THIS is the avalanche I created just by picking a fight with your loudest blowhard member that almost none of you called out. THIS IS WHAT I DO. And to all of you that even look at my goddamned mods sideways without a VERY good reason:
No more Mr. Nice Crensch.
EDIT
@twistedmac11 got flustered and lied about never supporting anyone trying to destroy the subverse, prompting @Vindicator to dig this one up.
EDIT 2
@Vindicator made the comment below about ESOTERIC's bullshit:
Here, @EsotericShade claims he's so ignorant of technology (a "retard") he had to make all these alts because passwords are too hard to remember.
But eight months ago, here he is having a conversation about how to use VPNs to game the voting system. Doesn't sound too tech ignorant here, now does he?
Incidentally, that thread shows him using multiple alts to try to take over a rule discussion, voting multiple times via different accounts and even bitching when Crensch missed votes that weren't made as top level comments that would be seen in his notifications. Lots of brigading, too. Here are three of them talking to each other, pushing the idea the mod team is run by intelligence operatives.
There are multiple comments by him in that thread as ES, rarepeeks, twistedmac11, dragonkiller and others concern trolling the idea that the rule discussion is some kind of trap created by Crensch to get people's names on a hit list -- he simultaneously votes multiple times and tries to scare other people away from letting their voice be heard. It's rather appalling how glaring it is in this thread, actually.

Fuck you. For the last time, I'm not @ESOTERICshade. Funny how the mods make us jump through hoops and all sorts of rules to make posts, but they can label any user an alt or shill without anything more than confirmation bias. I am my own fucking person. Quit looping me in with this shit.
14368272? ago
Your arguments are fallacious. Just cuz some of us are not active on certain subs does not mean we do not appreciate what those subs are or don't support them.
If you are indeed innocent - create a new account and quit being a cunt whining about big mean scary trolls.
twistedmac11 ago
Okay, but that could be seen as brigading, which is exactly what he's accusing others of doing.
Why should I have to create a new account because a mod wants to go spewing unfounded accusations? I'm not going to duck and run. I'm not a bitch. I'm going to stick around and defend myself.
14368576? ago
Then maybe in this case silence will be your best defense as the evidece against the others is damning.
twistedmac11 ago
I don't see silence any different than ducking for cover and being a bitch. I'm not an alt. There should be a way for me to prove that, but I've asked how and haven't gotten a response. So now, we have a situation where mods are able to make baseless accusations and users aren't able to defend themselves. That's just asking for reddit-tier powermodding.

I use Brave browser - which when I log on and off it shows a list of my alts. You can also log off and click account and it'll show the list too and you can screenshot it I assume.
Otherwise I dunno how to help other than that.
twistedmac11 ago
Thank you for actually trying to help me. You're the first person on this post to do so.
I couldn't find exactly where you were talking about, but what about this?
14369194? ago
Yep. I use two things to be on voat - my cellphone and laptop. Laptop has all my information so I'd reasonably assume you are similar.
If you are hanging around suspected shills or subversive types - I'd pay attention to what they are saying and why.
twistedmac11 ago
Thank you.

Look, voat is a relatively small community of people that mainly get along despite it doesn't look like it sometimes. If you are true and just got caught up in this shitstorm, ride it out and just pay attention to those you align yourself with or make friends with. Sometimes you luck out and sometimes you make friends with the wrong type of people who have their own agenda. I have made quite a few lasting friends here, and I love this site like no other. I am always willing to help anyone out with what I can.
twistedmac11 ago
Thank you again. I really do enjoy Voat, I just don't enjoy getting dragged into dramatic shit shows like this.
