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.
