- 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.

You're an idiot.
Of course it logs the IP. No, you're not privy to that information. Nobody but the admins are. You are not an admin. you will never be an admin.

Ehh... I've seen too many arts degree people in high places for IT... Some don't even need that, they just must be not white.

Alright, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the topic? I suspect the OP is absolutely not in IT and the source they looked at might as well be Swahili as far as they're concerned.
And, if you're curious, programming isn't really usually considered IT. IT is server infrastructure, networking, etc... You really don't want IT workers doing programming and you don't want programmers doing IT - though the idiots have done it and call it DevOps. DevOps works about as well as you might imagine.
Though, these days, the historical context is largely missing and I've seen the help desk referred to as IT. The old graybeards are, of course, quite miffed by this.

Exactly. Those people should not be placed in these positions. So yeah, OP can be worthless and still get a job in such a position (Equifax? as an example).
