Warning VOAT is logging your IP, source is a year old on github and ideas board is lying to you. (technology)

  • 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.

So basically, you seem to be admitting to attempting to game the voting system and are pissed off to discover that there's something in place to combat such a thing? That sure sounds familiar...

Wonder of wonders, here you are attempting to hide in plain sight in that very same thread linked above:
