Attention Q Reddit / r/GA Folks (whatever)

submitted 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):

  1. It prevents users who don't have at least X CCP in the subverse itself from downvoating content in that subverse.
  2. It prevents all submissions from showing up in v/all (basically making the subverse private).
  3. 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.

You don’t understand Neon at all.

I understand that he wants to sound like a preacher, so he quotes Q posts not in a conversationally natural manner, but the way that preachers quote scripture. I understand that he plays up the religious elements of your ingroup context, he enjoys interpreting Q posts in an apocalyptic manner to borrow some of that Doomsday drama, and he lashes out at people and things that may challenge his prophet status by denouncing them as heretics.
