The user who offered to buy a voat account is from Shareblue (whatever)

submitted ago by NeedleStack

Remember that post from 4 days ago where user JohnCStevenson offered to buy an established voat account? Here is the post if you missed it. He deleted his post but stupidly put his email address in the post "johncstevensonSB (at) gmail (dot) com" (SB being for Shareblue naturally) so yes, it was his post.

I was just looking at the Shareblue domain page on voat and noticed that the same user posted a direct ShareBlue link 3 days ago: Russia is "coming after America", and Trump doesnt care

I figured you guys would want to know about this connection so you can be alert for similar shenanigans in the future.

Stay vigilant, goats! :)

Edit: JohnCStevenson is crying to /v/ProtectVoat about my post now.

I believe they are absolutely that sloppy and transparent. Edit: The proof is in the posting. He posted both posts.

No it's definitely a troll. I'm probably going to employ this tactic in the future and then watch Voat melt down over my post. It'll be all over the front page, I promise. I've done it before, shit's hilarious. Low effort high reward.

If he were trolling I think he'd keep the first post up as a badge of trolldom. I think he's for real (which is especially sad).

Or maybe he saw someone announce that they archived it "in case OP tries to remove the evidence" so he deleted it to watch everyone go "HAH! I TOLD YOU! IT'S REAL GUYS!"

This shit is comedy gold. It's really easy to fuck with paranoid people dude.

You're getting downvotes, but you're absolutely right.

Lmao I know man I do this every couple months. Everyone gets so butt-hurt about it.

I thought you were overthinking it but I didn't downvoat you.
