I don't really care about the points as only an autist of the nth tier would be pathetic enough to do something like that, but this is a serious flaw of Voat.
If you look at my recent history, you will find every single post downvoted by about 8-12 points compared to where it was originally a few hours before making my CP plummet from 300 to -6 (so I'm now restricted from any voting and I'm being told I'm a "new user" even though I've been here for 1.5 years). I'm 100% certain it was/is "SaneGoatiSwear" because he's stated on the Voat chat he can buy up/downvotes to manipulate people's accounts and submissions (he even linked to a page that showed where you can buy them), and over the last couple days he stated he was going to target me.
Voat needs to have further securities in place to prevent vote manipulation as this is a huge exploitation esp. on a platform that runs on free speech.
edit: I can't even reply or upvote to any the comments as I'm getting an error message: "You have reached your daily comment quota. Your current quota is 10 comment(s) per 24 hours."
I can't even message the admins or anyone lol.
This is a huge exploitation if a few "super"users can target users, and effectively censor them.

That reminds me.. One time I was tripping on acid and smoking herb with a friend, about 15 years ago, and a big black ant was walking by and I picked it up and put it into the pipe and we smoked it.
I have smoked an ant. (It tasted terrible.. kind of like burning hair.)
