On September 10, 2015 our @Lag-wagon got into a debate with former /v/News mod /u/exisredditus.
Lag-wagon eventually called him a cupcake so exisredditus banned him under the excuse that he violated News's name-calling rule.
Lag-wagon let voat know what happened and the site went ballistic and posted cupcake-related stories on News.
exisredditus got into more arguments with users, got called cupcake again, and banned users he was arguing with.
@Atko even joined the conversation with the quote, "Yeah... I don't like this. At all."
exisredditus resigned from News then deleted his account. The other News mods reinstated the banned users.
In one of the threads a user proposed September 10 should be Voat Cupcake Day so I immediately embroidered this cupcake for the occasion. So...
Happy Voat Cupcake Day!

I thought of doing that but didn't want to be presumptuous. But I guess there's no harm in it. I'll do so. Thanks!
These magical fucking hilarious moments must be preserved ;-)
