Weaponized Words on Voat:
"Downvote Brigade"
Verb; to downvote the shit out of someone at any length (artificial connotation: is what a bad person does). Examples: drop a page of someone's comments, downvote a whole chain of comments, go back through every single page to seven days and downvote - and before the reddit trash took control - downvoat every single comment ever (Even back beyond page 7!! Oh my!)
It's like they want you to hate your own ability to express yourself!
Let's get this straight, people: voting on a social network is free speech. As in, in the United States, decided by an appeals court, if "liking" is "substantive speech" as well, upvoting and downvoating are as well "substantive speech" thus are protected speech that shall not be abridged, yet Voat's owners (most likely Conde Nast) have found it important to not only extremely limit your ability to express yourself, they have had their shills push a concept into our heads, using manipulation tactics, that "voting is morally wrong if done to excess." to complement the forced censorship slope we're currently experiencing on Voat.
"Downvoat brigade" should really only be used to define when a group organizes to maliciously abuse, in this case, to use the -ccp restrictions to silence a user (into making a new account, or being limited to the few comments/posts per day allowed by sjw-voat), by upvoting posts in an organized way to force a post or comment to the top non-organically.
There ought be no stigmitized downvoating at all, as there ought be no -ccp restrictions. Voting should curate not censor.
-ccp restrictions don't stop spammers; They just restricts all users, and allows the srs/sjw cabal(s) to use it as a weapon of fear and silence against regular users.
End the stigmatization of self-expression! A downvote brigade is a noun referring to an organized abuse, not users voting.
@Puttitout end the -ccp restrictions. More censorship, aka, banning user accounts, is NOT the solution. Censorship NEVER is the solution.
END THE -CCP RESTRICTIONS TODAY.

That's too loose a definition. Organizing is something that can't be proven, and is therefore irrelevant. For instance, SaneGoat is convinced there's an organized brigade against him. In reality, there's people downvoating him for his poor behaviour. The only way to tell is to be one of the downvoaters in question, which I am. I don't organize with anyone, I just downvoat a nigger for acting like a nigger when he's acting like a nigger.
-CCP restrictions should be done away with in most cases, although auto collapsing comment is perfectly ok. People can still click them as they prefer.

While I agree that organizing is difficult to prove, not impossible, I do not agree that somehow that makes it irrelevant. That's a logical fallacy. Goati has been brigaded by an organized group for months as well as reddit trash like you that are not part of any organized brigade. He considers you a part of that group whether you organize with them or not. You just admitted to downvoting him. You ought be free to downvoat a nigger for being a nigger, and that nigger ought be free to speak - meaning, not censored by your downvoting, just curated down. Although clearly, you are an example of a user voting from hurt feelings, not to curate.
Yes, -ccp restrictions ought be done away with, period. Auto-collapse for what, comments made by accounts with -ccp? That is silly. I appreciate you attempting meaningful discussion.

You left out an important phrase: "when he's acting like a nigger."
I don't downvote his every comment, and I upvote them when actually relevant. The difference is his behaviour at the time. Downvotes are there to be used to curate shit posts to to be below better ones. Shit such as spam, which he does often.(although I notice not near so much now that he can't farm his CCP upwards)
I've already stated that ccp account restrictions should be removed, so the rest of your point falls flat.
As for your personal attacks, I've been contributing here for 2 years, with the imaginary internet points to show for it. So, I'll respond with equally mature behaviour: I'm made of rubber, you're made of glue, whatever mean you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.

You were talking to sanegoat
Fambida ago
Yeah, I was 90% sure of that, but I figured I'd play along. Maybe if he didn't believe I knew it was him he'd take the message to heart.

shill sanegoat uses new alt, it's not very effective.
Milo_Carlin ago
160+ Views on a post downvote brigaded within the first few minutes? Shills cannot stop free speech.
Broc_Lia ago
I came here to downvote and laugh at your definition of brigading. Thanks for the post :) It was fun
Rainy-Day-Dream ago
how are downvoats stopping your free speech? you're speaking now. Are you retarded?
Talc ago
Just downvoted, no evidence of any organised brigade no matter how hard you try to call in a brigade onto yourself.
Stop virtue signalling, there's no SJWs here to approve your self-imposed victimhood!
