This post is an advisory to users that your username is connected to whatever you write in anon subs.
What you write can be seen by one or more devs who’ve been given that special access. But what you may not know is that they can and do use it against you as they’ve done with me in the past and as recently as yesterday. And one or more of those users who have this ability are part of SBBH.
Some history: One of the SBBH members had a hissy fit with me over a year ago and is probably the same user who would “miraculously” happen to know it was me when I would write certain things in anon subs in the past. I’d write something and they’d make a snarky remark revealing that they knew were talking to my account. It wasn’t a huge deal but it made me aware that my username could be seen by one or more users with this special access.
Back to present day: I’d never bothered to get caught up in SBBH drama until about a week ago when I started needling them in anon subs with a comment here or there regarding their questionable activities on voat.
It didn’t take long for one of them to take the bait and clearly refer to me when making this remark about my recent comments:
http://archive.is/eBPYZ
My account is exactly 2.7 years old. Whoever wrote that comment was a fool; for so obviously ‘giving away’ that they could see it was me writing those comments (showing their hand), and to give such a sensitive shit over what I wrote (notice it took anti-SBBH comments for them to get fresh and reveal themselves).
Let this story be a warning to any of you that this ‘special access’ to see which user is writing “anon” comments creates an unfair advantage and in the wrong hands can be used against you. At the same time, these privileged few are able to enjoy the ability to hide in anon subs themselves.
@PuttItOut, users will never be free to “have their say” in anon subs until everyone but you is stripped of the ability to see who’s posting what in so-called anon subs.

Edit: Hey, cool! My post got a "Speculation" flair. Perhaps the first in voat's history in v/Whatever.

What the hell is SBBH?

A group of gays that like to jerk each other off.

Took a lot of scrolling to finally find this. I've been on voat almost daily for years and what the FUCK is this?
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
I've only been there once but it was full of garbage image macros and shitposts it's also somehow become the magical boogeyman of a small segment of very vocal goats, I swear some users like Sane, MYG, or 9-11 have cork boards with all the SBBH mods connected with strings, not unlike shitlibs and "muh Russian Bots".
Pissant ago
Remember everyone, it was the CIA that invented the term conspiracy theorist. That's the style of argument v/Soapboxbanhammer utilizes; everyone that disagrees with them is crazy.
It's not an argument, it's a straw man.
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
No you're crazy for making up things and expecting everyone to believe them without any proof.
G0atku ago
and @laurentius_the_pyro is talking like an SBBHer i wonder if the account was purchased. correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't pyro used to be a solid goat? apparently i have corkboard now.
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
Disagree with you = suddenly purchased account
sure.
G0atku ago
not nice when it's done to you, is it. jumping on the shill bandwagon is always a bad idea, brother!
Laurentius_the_pyro ago
Sure thing Sangoat Alt #286.
If you had a legitimate message you wouldn't need hundreds of alts to agree with yourself and voat manipulate.
G0atku ago
hey look @puttitout if you weren't a shill, you'd ban these criminals and these paid shills!

v/Soapboxbanhammer
A subverse that's usually at the center of any drama that unfolds on this website. Their users harass others and brigade subverses. They'll break subverse rules repeatedly in order to get banned, then cry censorship. I've seen them manage to remove moderators from several smaller subverses using that method, then they attempt to place one of their own as a moderator.
But if you point any of this out there's a coordinated effort to attack your character and imply that you're just an alt account of one of the more outspoken users here who openly criticize SBBH.
More and more average users are calling them out.
Acerphoon ago
So basically. the SRS equivalent of voat?
Meh, I've never gotten banned here yet, so whatever.
dooob ago
Considering that SBBH is pro-free speech, they are hardly like SRS. They got branded SRS when they organized raids against known shills. Guess who created that narrative.
MadWorld ago
I don't consider them SRS in any way. Some of them were very helpful during the testing, when the other group was shitting here. But I don't like it when they shitpost too much! I think the real srs are those in rPV along with those invisible accounts.
Womb_Raider ago
"Sbbh is pro-free speech, ignore the fact that they attack users relentlessly if they oppose us, and ignore the fact that our entire shtick is banning people. Also ignore that we often make posts about users in their sub that are banned, so they cannot adequately make their case on the subject. Ignore all this manipulative behavior, SBBH is good" - dooob
dooob ago
Users? You mean shills like yourself? You are not users, you are paid provocators.
Womb_Raider ago
provocateurs?
I'm not paid, you goon. "Organized raids" is a funny way to phrase your self-righteous rhetoric... your account is just 9 months old so you actually don't know anything about when "they got branded" anything.
Just look at the recent attack you guys made on /v/gaming. It was a mockery.
dooob ago
You always pull the "account age" card, ever heard of burning accounts? The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.
You do realize you are paid by people trying to overthrow Trump? Who do you think is in the 25k sealed indictments? Ask real Nazis how didthe "just doin my job" excuse work out for them.
Womb_Raider ago
Yeah, keep trying to play victim, see how far it gets you.
dooob ago
How am I playing the victim? Good luck when the indictmentd start getting unsealed, the storm will catch everyone involved. Trump doesnt forgive, he always loved destroying his opponents, one of the reasons he was chosen.
heygeorge ago
Check the ban list. Check the ages of the bans. I'm not personally attacking you, only observing, when I say that you sound like a moron.
Womb_Raider ago
Ignore the rest of the content of my comment. That's fine.
heygeorge ago
Lol you used Yiddish in your comment. How's that for talking about ()something else()($)
Womb_Raider ago
Continue to ignore the content of my comment. That's fine.
heygeorge ago
There's nothing useful to address.
Dudicles ago
It's the early form of SRS, before they became interconnected with half of the things, or more, going on in reddit. They (SBBH) even have admin approval and inside jokes with him, and some of them are the ones helping Putt (the admin here) with coding and whatnot.
AndrewBlazeIt ago
Putt is my dad
Pissant ago
Yeah, you won't get banned. That's not something you have to be concerned about on Voat. Generally speaking the SBBH nonsense doesn't effect the average user. There's an argument to be made that their manipulation and deceit has far reaching effects, but that's a whole other discussion.
The basic facts as far as I can see them are that they stir shit and try to manipulate users. Just being aware of that is enough I'd say.
Acerphoon ago
Scratch that. Actually I was just banned from Soapboxbanhammer lol
Chiefpacman ago
That’s how they recruit. Gotta seem exclusive.
If they actually disliked you they would have a sub or two devoted to pinging you hundreds of times. Know from experience.
Acerphoon ago
Yeah, I've seen that. But I want to stay away from this kind of drama.
Pissant ago
They do that on a fairly regular basis. I'll get banned and unbanned by them fairly regularly. It's just another way for them to bother people. Whenever I make posts like this describing their bullshit, they use the Anon subverses to ping me over and over again. I'll come back and my inbox will have dozens of notifications. A lot of the time they'll be titles like "Doxxing Pissant" and other bullshit.
Here's a few screenshots I took showing that. Don't get me wrong, I don't have my panties in a twist about it all. They're not actually harming me -- but these people will go through your posting history and if you're not careful about personal information they will doxx you.
It's just not behavior that you would really expect to see here, and you wouldn't expect there to be so many people downvoating those of us who take the time to highlight the behavior. It's... strange...
Womb_Raider ago
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they actually jot down notes about individual users. hergeorge referenced an obscure comment I made some two plus years ago, it was vague information about my personal habits. I found it unsettling, but it wasn't anything big enough to risk an identity leak.
heygeorge ago
If you're gonna talk shit, ping me, faggot. Perhaps your obscure comment stood out to me. Or perhaps I found it while noodling around the site. In fact, right now I don't even know what you're talking about. Unless it's the thing where you said you were a self-described paranoid from smoking too much weed.
Womb_Raider ago
Forgive my typo, it appears I was assuming your gender. I'll ping you in future mentions, if it pleases you, but I find when I ping SBBH I get awarded copious negative voats. I have noticed when I do not ping you, I get less downvoats. Call that what you like.
Yes, that's the bit I was referencing. I said that very long ago, so I can only assume you take notes on individuals to study their habits, text patterns, and topics upon which they are knowledgeable. I could also be overestimating your competence... I mean, you do hang out with @gabara. (I pinged him to appease you)
heygeorge ago
Damn, I can't believe people downvote you when you spread bullshit about them! WOW
Haha, I don't take notes. I'm just not a paranoid outspoken stoner so I can remember things that stand out to me. The reason I remember that is because you seemed semi-reasonable at times but then would delve into paranoia as the reason. Oddly, (just kidding, not oddly) that's precisely what you did above!
Ha, I don't think it's ever a good idea to ping @gabara. He's a total spamming faggot* rivaled only by @dieselbustersyes
I wouldn't say that gabara and I hang out, although if I make my way to Toronto anytime soon, we are definitely going to hang for a minute.
Womb_Raider ago
They're the same person and you know it. Why try to deceive? Is this another "joke"?
I'm growing weary of you lying to me and others.
heygeorge ago
Reported.
DieselBustersYes ago
@heygeorge Womb_Raider is telling the absolute truth.
gabara ago
@crensch is right, you really are that fruitcake MYG.
Womb_Raider ago
I really don't take kindly to that accusation. At all.
heygeorge ago
If it sounds like a shit looks like a shit smells like a shit...
Pissant ago
"Everyone that disagrees with me is the same person!"
You people are delusional.
heygeorge ago
Nah, OP is delusional. You are a fruitcake.
