I notice that many of you have commented (because you can barely do anything else) asking why you don't have CCP (Comment Contribution Points). So I want to explain because I feel bad that this wasn't brought to your attention earlier.
Voat limits all new accounts for reasons of SPAM. To unlock your account you must earn CCP by commenting and having others upvote your contributions. It is orders more difficult for a botnet to unlock accounts with this requirement in place and is why we use this particular method.
For example: You need 10 CCP to make a submission or send a message. You need 100 CCP to unlock downvoat capabilities.
The reason you don't have any CCP is because the moderator(s) set a particular subverse property that prevents the earning of points in v/theawakening.
This subverse property is called: Minimum CCP required to downvote and when it is set to anything but zero three things happen (which are documented in the subverse settings. This information is also displayed in the sidebar so you can see what subverses have set what values):
- It prevents users who don't have at least X CCP in the subverse itself from downvoating content in that subverse.
- It prevents all submissions from showing up in v/all (basically making the subverse private).
- It prevents contribution points from accruing (This is an anti-farming measure).
No one has earned points in v/theawakening since this setting was set to 5.
I hope this helps you understand why.
Edit 5:
This post has been stickied again because people still have questions. This will be the last day of this sticky, I promise.
Edit 4:
Read #3 first. So here is my argument: They aren't super web savvy and reddit/voat layout is not that bad of a tool for what they are doing. They were directed to an image board. You all know that's a big jump coming from Reddit. The natural place is here. It's your call Voat always has been and always will be, but maybe we could learn a bit from them, and them us. Think about it.
Edit 3:
I'm just going to say that the back and forth I've had tonight with subscribers of v/theawakening have been the most pleasurable I've had on Voat. (Maybe I have low standards or you're just good people). I'm voting to keep them. Can we Voat? You owe me this one! ;)
Edit 2:
As @MAGAKAG2020Q mentions below and is important to note: This setting can not be instantly switched. It is on a time delay of 48 hours.

Thank you so much for accepting us. We know you are trying your best.
The flux of humans coming is HUGE, about 300K, we are told. And BAM, here you, VOAT, are today!
It will work out....until.....the left shuts this board down. Q said this will happen. Voat, realize, Black Hat evil people will FLOCK here and it will get difficult for you. How to manage? You may just need to erase us all to survive yourself. That is understandable. Your efforts at this time are MOST honorable!!! Thank you Patriots! Thank you, World WIDE lovers of Peace and Understanding! thank you, VOAT.
ANYONE LISTENING OUT THERE....
the military set up 8ch.net/patriotsawoken. Everyone is fully expecting the need for this because there will be no place left on the web to communicate, censorship will be so harsh.
Sessions will activate his anti-bias specialists in the DOJ. The first meeting will be Sept 25th. But this is just an introductory meeting to see if it is necessary to begin a probe into anti-conservative communications.
If possible, learn about Faraday boxes! See if you can put a computer in one, an analog radio, a cell phone. Learn about survival .
We are in Emergency prep month. Sept 1st Trump announced this. DO YOUR PREP! I STRONGLY URGE you to prep! The threat is EMP attack. LEARN ABOUT EMP.
Realize that if such an event, this will last and last and last, and it will be hard. The military will of course will do all in their power to stave off this, but IT COULD HAPPEN! There are two missing nuke. Obama stole there. One was blasted off in 2013, deep in the Atlantic. The earthquake records showed it was not a normal earthquake. There are Two left!...And who knows how many were shipped in containers elsewhere. Anyone who has been reading deeply knows our last administration was out to annihilate us all. And that threat STILL REMAINS.
So, when the emergency TEST happens on Sept 25th..know it is a test...but realize this is the most important test America has ever had.
Do not be complacent! Try try try try try try, to stay atune to Qanon news and know that GOD is with you!
