Oh come on. Around here thats like a compliment.

Adminstrater ago

It's nice looking at things from a hindsight perspective.

DanyMcbrideAsHanSolo ago

I'll upvoat you Terd, you fucking prick.

TheBuddha ago

I'm not the one who complained about losing CCP. That was you, you drunken weirdo. Sober up. Don't lie and say you're sober. Deal with your alcoholism.

TheBuddha ago

whines about CCP

gets help to deal with it

keeps doing the same thing he did before

doesn't see situation change

will whine again in the future

cycle repeats

Sober up. I'll talk to you again when you're sober.

TheBuddha ago

You did complain about not having CCP. Or did you get drunk and forget what you posted?

TheBuddha ago

See? I tried to help you. You complained and I told you how to fix it. Instead, you just keep going. The results won't change unless you change.

Amen. I run an IRC server for a network and whenever there's a netsplit we're flooded by the panicked and uninformed, and I tell them, the notable thing isn't that our world-spanning network of servers temporarily lost a link, the notable thing is how long we go without losing it most of the time.

+2 for best mech -1 for furry

TimberWolfAlpha ago

Not a furry, just named for the mech.

You'd probably get fewer downvotes if you stopped being retarded?

Just a suggestion, but it appears to be effective.

I don't even agree with most of voat, and I have more SCP and CCP than I know what to do with. I earn it by not being retarded. It's actually not difficult.

To be fair, if Putt started charging, most of us would gladly pay monthly/yearly. But it's just not offered. He really hasn't been very transparent about finances lately.

Also, people make suggestions (that I've seen) in v/ideasforvoat/ which is the whole point of the sub.

To be fair, if Putt started charging, most of us would gladly pay monthly/yearly.

Not really. The reason why most pay services don't survive the web is because they haven't built enough of a user base first. Ours isn't large enough to introduce one yet. Donation services have also been shown to work better for finances. Putt just needs to put up some freaking instructions.

v/ideasforvoat/ which is the whole point of the sub.

And is in an ok location. I block that shit. But, what ideas from there have actually been implemented? The site hasn't changed that much in years.

TheBuddha ago

Sort by oldest first, with the default being able to be set in your profile.

That was my idea, mentioned in that sub, that was implemented.

You're welcome.

boredTech ago

Not quite as complicated as traffic, but good idea to throw out.

TheBuddha ago

It's a damned good setting and I sort by oldest first (then threaded) on all forums where such is an option. That way, I see what was first written and can read things in chronological order.

Voat didn't have that option and didn't allow us to even set the default sort order until after I made said suggestion. It was accepted and implemented with remarkable speed, actually.

I sort pretty much everything like that, except email. Email gets sorted newest first. I'd probably sort it oldest first, but I'm actually pretty horrible about keeping my inbox clean.

So, I'm responsible for that feature and I proposed it by way of v/ideasforvoat - and it worked well and quickly. It was a brilliant idea and we can use it as a metric that suggests the other proposed ideas just aren't that good!

I'm pretty much a national treasure!

boredTech ago

I'm pretty much a national treasure!

HAHAHAHAHA! Sure.


but I'm actually pretty horrible about keeping my inbox clean

I don't think anybody is capable of handling email. As far as conspiracies go I think that email was designed by cultists to propagate minor evil through the world in a large range. Kind of like

The M25 plays a role in the comedy-fantasy novel Good Omens, as "evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man".[50] The demon character, Crowley, had manipulated the design of the M25 to resemble a Satanic sigil, and tried to ensure it would anger as many people as possible to drive them off the path of good. (source wikipedia, but explains what I mean)

A joke of course.

TheBuddha ago

Hmm... We could probably get the conspiracytards to believe this.

boredTech ago

Easy enough. The whole anatomy of any good conspiracy is "X is keeping this from you, but I have discovered through research into Y that X has been doing horrible things to warp your mind. Wake up, blah blah blah." Then hold up some stuff they've never seen before, regardless if it's real or not, and watch as the idea has been implanted into their brain and they will balk any real info.

TheBuddha ago

It's the information they didn't want you to know!

Alas, I'm kind of lazy about such things and I'd have to use an alt. They'd never believe me. I make too many potato posts.

boredTech ago

I'm guilty of one or two of those in the past.

Trust me, it's not that hard. I put up one as being pure satire where I was talking about Nazi's taking over and living on the south pole for all of it's resources. Being the only race that can handle the climate blah blah blah. I wrangled one in on my first post and it was just a comment. People are too easy. Really didn't feel like following through though (bored, but exceptionally lazy).

TheBuddha ago

I got one going a while back, and found people repeating it, but I just didn't have the energy to follow it up and keep pushing it. I'm just too apathetic, I think.

boredTech ago

OMFG! 911 actually believes that gabara broke voat (or at least is spreading that like it's real). I still don't know if that one is a troll account, but it comes off as too stupid to not be real. Good going on that one.

TheBuddha ago

He's pretty easy to get going. I have him on ignore, not because I am bothered by him but because I know it's annoying for him to know that he's not being seen and not getting the attention he wants. This pleases me to no end, largely because I'm a five year old and easily amused.

middle_path ago

I'll concede on the point with donations. I can't imagine the amount of people who haven't donated because of how damn confusing it is for the layman.

what ideas from there have actually been implemented?

It's irrelevant to my point. You were complaining about how people make too many suggestions. I was pointing out that there is a place dedicated just to that. It would be like complaining about garden posts in v/Justgrowit

Concern trolling has hit the front page. That's why I'm complaining. Fucking low energy shit.
