Attention Q Reddit / r/GA Folks

Attention Q Reddit / r/GA Folks (whatever)

submitted 6.5 years ago by PuttItOut

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.

So, this brings up an interesting question:

If the mods remove this subverse property, do all of the upvoats suddenly count for all of its users?

if they remove it, the rest of the site downvotes EVERYTHING in that subverse to hades itself because their reputation is as plain as day

Everything will return to normal soon, Q people respect voat and goats and there will be a truce, just relax you are in a safe space now.

Yo. Someone on that sub called us Natives and suggested handing out smallpox blankets. My space does not feel so safe.

Voat is the site, but what is the goat?

We are the goats. If you stick around, you'll be a goat too. You just decide you're a goat one day, maybe today.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Some of the goats around here have no manners. Myself included. However, most of us will help you if you're sincere.

The problem is that some people in forums like this are paid provocateurs who work for the bigwigs who want to destroy our country. Well, that's one of the problems. A lot of the undercurrents here are related to people trying to figure out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Don't freak. The bad guys can't do much. They just try to hijack the conversation or tell lies for various reasons. You can usually tell who the jerkheads are after a while, but not always.

I am glad you're here. So many people know there's something wrong with our country, but people who are open minded and curious will be the only ones to get an inkling of what is wrong with the USA, the UK, the Western World, etc. You are old enough to have seen the changes to our countries, as am I. To me, the changes seem dramatic, and I hope there is some way to revert back to how things were many decades ago.
