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.

Their mods were a bunch of faggots who fucked them over from the second they stepped foot in here. I bet a lot of them are well intentioned people, but Reddit authoritarian mods will continue to do just that. The ones that have stayed behind are actually pretty cool. Prost!

Assuming your response means you’re one of the recent refugees..
That fucking Neon dude is a sketchy motherfucker. I’m not saying this flippantly.. you honestly have a cult going on. I read some comments that freaked me the fuck out, and I went to his blog.
Please, for the fucking love of God, have some self respect. If you want to Larp about Q, fine, great. But don’t go signing up to have a boss tell you HOW to do it. Think for yourself. Neon basically tells all of you that he’ll do your thinking FOR you, and btw, buy my shit. He also phrases shit to take credit for the accomplishments of ANONYMOUS /pol/acks. Neon is a regular shitty nigger autist, not a weaponized autist.
If you MUST do your Q thing, have some damned dignity while you do it. The biggest thing about voat is, we may not be a bunch leaders, but we’re DEFINITELY not followers. A goat is a creature that will piss in its own face to spite you. They do not take orders.

Neon Revolt is a patriot and he's calling out the fucktards that are trying to subvert the movement. FUCK YOU AND ALL THE FUCKING TOURETTES ASSHOLES HERE. Turns out 8chan is actually just fine. Way fucking better than this cesspool of subverts who kiss Killary's asshole and get hard saying nigger and kike. Fucking kindergarten here. 8chan has the autists that are doing the heavy lifting. GA peeps - go to 8ch. Way smarter people, better decodes and memes and it's adults not nappie shitters. I swear, the people on Voat all got their dicks chopped off and are gushing from their front holes. Fuck this place.

You're coming from Reddit, and call Voat a kindergarten? Hahaha.

People say mean words so I'm definitely smarter than them. Nah.

Proper swearing is an art. If it is forced (or done by a woman), they look retarded at best.

Hey, chief....not everyone is trying to subvert your precious movement. I voted for Donald Trump.....and you couldn't pay me to fuck Hillary's cunt with Soros's 500-year-old dick.
And yes, of course we have paid shills here. What do you expect? We have shills EVERYWHERE on the Internet now, because the creepy Luciferian globalist elites are OBSESSED with subjugating the entire world...and have hired a literal army of paid shills to SUBVERT any sizable forum that has political discussion. Their evil and juvenile OBSESSION with controlling everyone around them is not an impulse that I particularly understand, but I just have to accept that this is the way the world is now.
Meanwhile, you have to accept that people WILL scream "nigger", "kike", and "faggot" on any platform that has free speech. It's INEVITABLE. And any time a platform has even a little free speech, it eventually turns into an alt right wankfest. It's to be expected, when we're shamed into kissing the collective asses of blacks while they overtly demonstrate more stupidity and violence than whites ever have. It's also to be expected when today's institutionally powerful "Jews" are the most powerful and privileged ruling class in the history of mankind, and seem to be going to great lengths to demographically replace white people all over the entire planet.
But let's face facts. You and your asshole friends tried to take over this site, whether you admit it or not. What happened recently was nothing short of a board invasion. Your asshole Reddit moderators immediately started censoring and banning posters on a site that is specifically designed for FREE SPEECH. A forum on a free speech site with a dozen moderators from Reddit who constantly censor and ban people? Yeah, that's not suspicious AT ALL.
Believe it or not, you are NOT obligated to use ethnic slurs or racial epithets. I avoid using such slurs myself, but I also don't get butthurt when people talk like that here.....because I have no confusion about where I am. You're obviously making the same mistake that other Redditors make. You see, Voat is NOT kindergarten; it's the Wild West. You just haven't figured it out yet.
Voat has FREE SPEECH as a CORE VALUE, and theawakening moderators do NOT value free speech. You probably don't either.
Oh, and by the way.....people really don't like being invaded by migrants in western Europe, so why do you think they would like it here?

This. I like this.

Enjoy your lack of censorship transparency, and try not to rupture your colon when you're taking those kool aid enemas.
