Voat is Being Vote Manipulated By Bots for money SaneGoatiSwear bought votes and turned my points from 300 to -6 (whatever)

submitted ago by UchihaMadara

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.

the amount of bullshit out of puttitout's mouth in that comment is astounding.

let me just key you in on one obvious one:

alt detection

putt has alts. is he saying he's going to ban himself?

no of course not, he's being facetious.

there's no rule about alts, nor any discussion about rules being created for alts

are you suggesting putt's going to just put a rule in place about alts without any community discussion, or with just a little feigned community discussion?

i don't see "banning alts" or "alt detection" as what ought be done nor what he's proabably doing.

you:

The admins have said they are working on a way to find and ban those using multiple accounts.

puttitout:

We are actively working on alt detection and will be dealing with this problem very soon.

putt did not say that. just didn't. that may be your interpretation but that's just an opinion. you stated it as fact.

sorry bro, not paranoid,

calling out bullshit.

aye CTR is here, srs/sjws are here... many shills are here. millions poured into internet manipulation.
