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.

I see @PuttItOut is wasting his time with v/theawakening fags who are barely literate niggerkikenufags. At least he's putting the effort.

He cares, it's sweet.
But that won't help those fucktards now. Blood is in the water.

The ones that have lingered have potential... There's even boomers trying to integrate. Those fuckers need all of the help they can get. If you have crayons, bring them.

I give GreatAwakening a wide berth but theawakening is a free fire zone. I'm not ready to forgive yet.

Nor should you. They gave their POA months ago, when they said there are SO many of them, they can steam roll us. Fuck those cunts... However, and this is a big however, the ones who engage still have the opportunity to change. They have the willingness to converse. There is still hope. I deal with my boomer Father, who is just like most of those window lickers. Maybe I feel that each person I convert is finally opening his fucking eyes.. Who knows?! I am 3 bottles of homemade Apfel Wein deep right now. But don't write off someone who has an open mind. Yes, the mods fucked up, and everyone followed them like sheep. Our immune system kicked in, as it should have. But I have actually had good interactions with those who came and asked "Why are you so racist" and "What did the Jews do that upsets you". Those opportunities do not come often here. Most people who came here know the transgressions of the hooked nosed baby fuckers. That is my opinion.

What yeast are you using for your Apfel Wein?
oh and yeah yeah, don't hurt the normies feelings so we can turn them got it.

Well I have two different recipes. I have the actually processed apple juice (according to the SG, it is at 14%) and the actual cider. I had to clear and rack the cider so much that it got concentrated. It is like fire water. I used Montrachet Yeast in both recipes, but I had to add a lot of table sugar to the real cider. I find this odd, because the real cider was supposed to have no sulfates... yet I couldn't get it to ferment. It took 3 days for fermentation to happen. I bottled some of both in a mixture in nutmeg, all spice and brown sugar. It tastes legitimately like apple pie... but there's still trub floating in the bottle which is a turn off aesthetically.

Why would someone downvote my wine recipe?

Teetotalers. We must find a Final Solution to the non drinker problem.

I am a firm believer... Never trust someone you can't eat bacon with, while drinking shots of whiskey.
