I'm ready to downvote. But yes, as voat gets popular the shills will infest it like flies. Some kind of IP tracking is necessary even if VPNs exist. Since Zion got camps of shills literally working 24h to mindfuck people on websites like voat.

Why would anyone really give a shit about whether they get upvotes or not?

As long as you have over 100 CCP so you can do downvotes, what is the point?

Old news aye? I've taken a brrak from voat but it seems the shilling has persisted.

Homosexuality is a mental illness. They prove this with every decision they make.

I seem to have misplaced my other 51 accounts...

You messed up the first name it's NotTheShapeOfMyHeart then it goes 1 to 9 (currently).

He got caught a couple of months ago responding to his own comments and I, mistakenly, accused him of being somebody else.

It seems like there is a witchhunt on the front page all the time now. At least a while ago (not sure if it is still in effect now?) there was a limit that preventing the same IP from making another account. In general, it was NOT well received.

It's not an immune system; it's the unbanned, uncensored free speech that drives the (((leftists))) away.

It's also a known discrediting technique.

1. Target a user you want to discredit

2. Create obvious alts of their account

3. Mimic that user but post shit that discredits them

4. Use an alt to post something to the effect of 'hey guys sguevar, sguevar1, sguevar2, sguevarN and his thousand other alts are all shills!'

5. Mission accomplished. The individual now looks like a shill with dozens of alts.

Dunno about 'shills' but the voting system empowers tards and lowbrow content or that which feeds the circle jerk. I'd like to abolish the voting system if anything. Certainly not strengthen it further.

To be fair, I have two... the first one whilst opining hither and blither I did massive amounts of cocaine, pot, and fucking tons of booze on and posted some stupid shit occasionally and, I, after a night or two of clear-headedness decided I shall not post from that account and leave it in its massive steaming levels of inebriated imbecility.

THIS account I hoped to halve the entirety of drugs, booze, and stupidity but I find after considerable consternation comparing the long leg to the real deal of heady excitation mathematically to the boredom of normality added to 30 years of fucking commenting on this total global vast infrastructure of madness that it would be an exercise in practicing to be a plastic strange alternative self. So. THIS account practically mirrors the last account even though attempts were made to avoid the foibles and tripples of said last account.

In the conflux of descensions, warp lag, and hair bent star beams I offer massive props to the last leg of free speech in binary world- the great voat.co. Peace, brothers and most likely rare sisters.

They attach bots to these. This is how reddit admins got caught giving one their own posts 15k up votes in under a minute. If something is not done about it this site is toast.

as retarded as making someone fill out a captcha

...a joogle captcha, at that.

My question is: what makes them so important? Why are they so intense? Is their cult dying? Do they need to recruit or ban others to feel useful? Real life happens and it happens more often to liars.

I agree that people should ideally only have one account with absolute free speech, but sometimes it's necessary to have multiple because having interaction limits if the majority just doesn't agree with you is simply not free speech. That logic is stupid.

Can I get on this list?

I had one past Voat account the PM spam on that account from people who just liked to flame me and my opinion got so bad it made me ignore a whole part of Voat my PM and finally deactivate the account. This time I just tuned my setting better and the spam is gone this time

I was banned from fatpeoplehate after posting several comments supporting it because i said being fat doesnt really apply to celebrities.

I dont know what censorship is, but 1 statement seems a bit quick to jump the gun.

Some suspicious voting here.

Good work.

Some of us appreciate this more than you know.

I, like many, use a VPN to protect my privacy, and your suggestion would fuck all of us.

It would also lead to more doxxing when people click on links from people harvesting their IP addresses.

This would be bad for Voat and you should feel bad, faggot.

Well that is your take, but something needs to be done. This massive account shit is not healthy for the site at all.

Did you read the post? Didn't I mentioned it was just a start?

Plus tracking the IP address upon the accounts login from is still possible. If an account logs in with multiple IPs that out to be kind of suspicious, specially if the IPs location vary from different geographical locations that are thousands of miles appart.

Reddit has awsome backend systems that track and ban you if creating too many accounts, posting too much etc.

They even shadowban-swat whole numbers of accounts you create for marketing purposes if they think the accounts are linked.

Frankly it makes me not want to spam there lest I lose the time investment later.

Welcome to free speech. You get the bad with the good.

I haven't been bothered by one shill. These posts crying about them on the other hand...

Every now and then puttiout bans lists of users for the exact reason you are mentioning here.
Here is a list from the last time it has happened. Maybe @PeaceSeeker has been doing more ban logs since then else where, i dunno.
Banning users site wide is something not taken lightly here. There where a few legitimate users banned site wide a few times by accident as well, but quickly allowed back in after they contacted voat for help.

Lets just go back to by invite only and you need some thousand or so points to invite. And if you invite a faggot you both get the rack

Oh bullshit. Voat throttles people with unpopular opinions from speaking, while it lets the popular voices vomit up whatever shit the masses love.

That is a form of censorship.

Stop pretending this place is the great land of free speech. It's just a big fucking circle jerk for racists and the worst kind of human filth imaginable.

McReddit tactics to be sure.

Fuck these <bots> or <paid opposition>.

This is why I suggested implementing a supercookie that would simply track who logs in on the same machine. It's very difficult to get rid of (though not impossible) and would at least make tracking these idiots on the voat.co domain possible. It's immune to VPN and IP changes, etc.

Voat used to limit accounts per IP.

They are also calling non-shill shills to shut down anyone who points out their shillish ways.

5 comments and no one bothers to upvoat, common guys not everyone reads all/new

Thanks! I hope you don't mind that I may copy and paste most of your text should I too find such shills/spammers and want to make a public post.
