Thanks for posting this in the appropriate subverse, and for voicing your thoughts. I am not sure all those you pinged actually received one. It's my understanding that only the first five pings work. Then you have to ping in comments, five pings per separate comment.
Regarding posts with new evidence being hard to find: we do have a flair for that, as well as "Potential Lead". I try to use these flairs whenever they would be helpful. If you make a comment in the post saying you think it should be flaired, and and why, and ping me, I will evaluate. I don't see a lot of the posts that come in early in the morning East Coast time because I am in a different timezone.
Doubtful. :-) More likely, Voat didn't send them because there were MORE than five. I don't know that for a fact, but it wouldn't surprise me. In any case, I wouldn't jump to an interpretation for a silence that could be attributed to a software glitch. Try your pings again. I know it may seem obnoxious, but it's the only way to overcome the navigation/communication barriers of this platform.

Well, thanks. Don't see much value in pinging the others in comments. Not even the first five replied. Maybe they are content with everything.

Yes, this is possible. Will try this. Thanks.
