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.

i rescinded my initial assessment and told you.

i understand

i think this is what Puttit meant

i get it

it's your opinion

but you stated it as fact.

that's manipulative by definition.

paraphrased

yeah, again, that's an opinion.

i call it manipulation.

should i start doing this to what you're saying so you can understand what it's like?

" @ferref just said he knows that puttit will be banning sane goat tomorrow and will be giving ferref a badge for all his hard work against sanegoat the evil spam amalek shill bot."
