It's a common shill tactic to "just ask questions". It's a form of concern trolling that leaves plausible deniability to those that aren't aware, or haven't seen it enough to recognize it.
Asking questions is not always an innocent thing, and when it's bumping a blackpill narrative, it's healthy to be skeptical.
I've been wrong, but I admit when I am. Take a look at the difference between how the users reacted to being called out.
People change and especially the ones who don't live on voat. I see mumbleberry pointing out a group of paid indian shills and pv doing jack all about it but this guys getting called a shill for wanting answers.
PV is a place to highlight bullshit. Each goat gets to view the arguments and respond as he so chooses. What I see there is some niche sub, by virtue of the fact that nobody really uses the word "automobile" anymore, that wants to act like numerous other niche subs.
The problem is quarantined to that user's subverse(s), and without Putt, there's really nothing we can do but shame bad mods.
What I do - what I've always done - is find patterns or inconsistencies or evidence that a user might be lying/subverting/acting in bad faith. If you don't agree, that's fine, but I'm not going to stop.
If you were paying attention, only people that don't belong here, or SaneGoat et al., but I repeat myself, ping Putt. The rest of us know better.
This narrative has been pushed multiple times daily now, and I find it hard to believe this many "lurkers" haven't seen it.
Since OP changed his posting style recently, and managed to accuse many here of being "SRS", it's really not that much of a stretch to find him suspicious of being a certain other kind of "user" here that pings Putt and calls people they don't like SRS.
Imagine having his username stats and feeling entitled enough to an answer from Putt that you ping him.
Sbbh spent an entire day making posts pinging putt and in the comments like three days ago. I don't know this user or see them around but I think it's fairnto be suspicious at this point. Sure it's rude as fuck to ping putt given all the shit he gets.

Let me clarify:
Putt doesn't check his pings. He stopped because of SaneGoat pinging him 100s-1000s of times per day. If they're circle-jerking about it, they're not feeling entitled to a response from the solo owner of this website that has a full time job and a life outside of Voat.
This user was very clearly expecting a response.

I comment when I find things that aren't quite right.

It is. I find it to be an egregious faux pas to do so and expect a response. Especially to a user with such low contribution/time stats. Dude is not important.
Not saying that's a requisite thing, but the entitlement suggests something is not quite right.

"User" with 2.8 years and ~700scp and ccp pings Putt.
You are insignificant, and have zero reason to be pinging the owner of this website.
And also probably part of the shill blackpill brigade.

He's not allowed to ask questions? You need to be a power user to want answers? Come on man are you a sjw now?

People can be manufactured even easier.
Putt is dead and his owners are OK with that.
