voat may be getting some new rules\call to open an admin-level discussion on better communicating financial needs to make this full time for admins and on incoming rules (whatever)

submitted ago by SaneGoatiSwear

Later this week Voat will be adding a few new site wide rules in order to handle this exact situation and hopefully a few others to help in related scenarios.

@puttitout quote source

what rules would those be?

maybe this? (can't downvoat an account more than 10 in a 30 minute rolling window)

they already have all of these and more check it out... and that's just what's on git. they regularly put code into voat without it going to git. at any time voat is in Shrodinger source, not ness. open nor closed source so like both at the same time. source mid comment

and @atko has said he wants to try bringing up more strict upvote restrictions

so where's the discussion?

@atko promising to never do anything major without talking to us first, top of comment

but they removed all users' access to all histories (comment, submission mentions, etc) to other users to page 19 and to one's own comment history to page 99... without telling us nor having the discussion...

why is voat always going to cheaper systems and the admins unable to do what is needed for voat to thrive? time is money.

i open discussion to all of voat, and implore @puttitout and @atko to open and sticky an announcement to discuss how they can better and more permanently/regularly communicate voat's and their financial needs to us to make this a permanent more awesome thing and full time for them!

i also implore you to discuss with us these possible incoming rules in this way, the way @puttitout framed the solution-building regarding the v/niggers takeover.

Are you fucking stupid?

Do you know how much storage is required to hold all of that data? I am willing to bet they did that to reduce server cost so the site would run on less money. They probably have a cheaper method of storing data that isn't directly connected to the server (which is why you can't go past page 19 now).

it's not that they did it.

see the post. atko said any major changes would be discussed with us.

i'm sure goats would be understanding. it would have stopped a lot of drama in it's tracks with a simple announcement before-the-fact.

are you fucking stupid?

way to lead the discussion.

I see your point, this change should have at least been made clear in a post about the change. I think that is fair

good ideas!

a gave putt a funding bar idea a while back. one for "coffee" for admins and one bar for "site costs" relative to 2 cups of coffe lol and relative to last month's running costs, rolling.

i had hoped they'd have it implemented by now.

hopefully @Puttitout for calling me his second favorite goat for that idea may code it real quick like :)

adminlogs yeah greater transparency. can there be a way to make voat code auto-go-to-git or would tha tbe a bad thing?

transparency is key and it's all but gone :( let's turn it around!

SaneGoatiSwear ago

lol i'm gonna try protectvoat

SaneGoatiSwear ago

yeah but no one will see this and no discussion will be had :(

how to have discussion? ??!?
