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.

Prove it. You always attack everyone else for not providing proof, but you never provide any of your own.

that it was an ORGANIZED brigade is unprovable,
the brigade however is obvious.
all ups for the shills, all downs for any dissent, and of course instant major - for sanegoat, the uber anti-shill.
shill.

So you have zero proof of any of your claims and anyone who asks you for proof is a shill, which you know because reasons. Got it.

repeating same comment over and over regardless of response.

I ask you for proof, and you report it as spam. Why are you so eager to censor anyone who asks you to support any of your wild accusations?
Prove it.

I'm pretty sure he's just here to destabilize things at this point.
