from my pov, the voting system is designed to manipulate visibility and opinion.
while i like it that voat sets 10 CCP for post permission and 100 CCP for downvote permission, in order to decrease shill and bot abuse, its extremely annoying for genuine new goats, esp. as their 10 CCP has to come from another sub than the new sub they came for.
if it was for me, they voting system could go away altogether. a post is good when it has many comments. isnt that a much simpler and more truthful standard when it comes to post significance?

That's only true if the sub is set up as a private place (like that stupid TheAwakening sub). See Putt's post on the topic.
