Instead of driving off Reddit refugees maybe this time we should welcome the users from /r/gundeals? (whatever)

Just kidding. Fuck off faggots!
Edit: If you assholes are going to stay here, pay up. Voat isn't owned by Conde Nast. It's a hobby site. Please contribute.

Voat is too serious and this is harming us.
We must have places to blow off steam, and we mist welcome the users who integrate.
There are more good people than bad, and bad people will always find a way in (and not be deterred by our abuse, since they are paid to be here).
Anybody who integrates should be welcomed!

I agree with your statement as a whole but where is the proof that voat is being harmed by vetting it's immigrants?
Oh I never said don't vet. In fact, let me specifically say vet them.
But most people should pass vetting because most people aren't trying to sabotage us.
If your vetting excludes 90% of new users, you need to recalibrate.
Ok but there is no evidence to suggest that those 90% of users would have been a benefit to voat.
Quality over quantity.
Any random selection of users would have 90% end up as useful.
This group seems knowledgeable, easy going and active, and interested in a niche many users here are also interested in.
I'd estimate even more of these users than average would be useful, especially compared to other similar migration attempts.
What about users from r/Shoplifting and r/Stealing?
Gundeals might be above average, and those might be below average.
And if you add then all together, the average will be 90%.
Or the average might be 30% and only 2% of them leave due to the vetting.
It's possible. I don't think two thirds of humanity is shit, but opinions differ.
Or the average might be 30%
