  • Create account-A on device 1
  • Create account-B on device 2
  • UPvote any comment with account-A, confirm gray UPvote turn blue.
  • Same comment with account-B, confirm see gray UPvote means you didn't vote with this account.
  • UPvote and get error "Denied - Vote has already been registered (Comment Vote Identity 2.8)".

Only thing in common is your IP. No way for voat to know other than they log your IP.

Source code on github is over a year old, no mention of logging IP.

I submitted a request to log 3/4 of your IP to ensure trolls and shills are identified and the idea was knocked down for spying and free speech and not wanting to identify people to comments. It's all a lie.

Of course they are logging your IP. How the fuck do you build a message board that doesn't, yet still has modern features?

If you are on this site without a VPN, minimum, you are a fucking moron.

from what I have read VPN isn't much of a shield better than nothing but if NSA types come after you, you are toast.

No, I suspect you cannot.

Difficult to give what one does not possess.
