Hi Q-refugees, you may notice that you'll be getting a lot of pushback from voat users in the next couple of days. That's because it's a different culture here, one that you're probably not used to. Culture shock is normal, so here's a few pointers.
-
Free speech can be ugly, and you're going to have to get used to it. Someone once said that the ability to call people "Niggerfaggots" on this site acts as a canary in the coal mine: as long as people aren't getting banned, that's how you know you can truly say anything. Be prepared to be called names you didn't expect on this site: it's a right of passage, and you can always ignore/block users or subs if it's too much.
-
Don't cheat the system. You need 100 CCP to post, 10 to downvote (I think), and ban logs are visible to the public. QRV will NOT get you these points, as it's an anon sub. That means, you'll have to interact with rest of the site for these privileges: hence, why I listed point one. If your mods are ban-happy, we'll be able to see it and we'll probably mock them/point it out. So just actually contribute to the site: it won't take too long, and we'll probably mass-downvoat you if we see you begging.
-
Freedom is costly. Literally. There's a ton of you, and voat's had some issues with server load before.
Link to the original post so you don't think I'm trying to scam you "I hate receiving donations for a few reasons but here is Voat's BTC address if you feel called to donate: 3NZvuAk3Csf1UP1KCmzN9dhiXTwvhTgr9k. Please only donate if you have the means."
-
If all you want to do is post and read about Q, just do your basic homework (with okay contributions it should honestly take a day or less to earn enough CCP) and go back into your subs. We'll mostly leave you alone, although sometimes we'll mock you. Want an example? People mostly ignore FatPeopleHate and they just do their own thing.
Thanks, welcome, and fuck you again.

It has nothing to do with the ability to call someone that. It's used to test the person. If they can't stand being called niggerfaggot, then they probably won't be able to stand being called wrong.
If it's too much for them and they have to block or censor people because they called them wrong or called them a bad name, then they don't belong here.
But yes, block subs that you don't want to see. Because there's no censorship, there are some weird subs that you probably don't want to see.

this niggerfaggots thing.... won't the white folks feel offended to be so ignored? Where is Their affectionate nickname...? Where is Their identifying pejoritive? What about the Straight folks?
Once Again... the Majority, the Christians, the White, Straight, Men, The White Soccermoms.... ? Old Straight, White Men?!
wait... they Do sound Really boring,... nevermind.....!

We already have a nickname, the master race.

What the fuck are you attempting to say? Are you trying to say that white people are boring?
Well..... maybe you're right. I guess it would be pretty boring watching evening sunsets at the lakehouse with your dad, instead of watching someone get raped in the jail cell right next to yours. A soccer mom watching their daughter scoring their first goal sure would be a lot less exciting than watching them have their clit cut off.
Yep, those straight old white people sure are boring. They never do exciting things like breaking the law, or participating in gang rapes. Those straight old boring white people.

I'm Saying.... using ll those moldy old epithets is fine, just lazy... if this is a free and open forum, where are the equal opportunity insults!? I spoke mostly tongue in cheek... surprised at such apparent sensitivity... I had expected a full barage of effective epithets... not whiny little ffffaggottty tears!

Voat is free and open (free as in freedom). Because of this there are no controls over what is said. Therefore, "equal opportunity" is unable to exist because there are no controls to force equality. The superior will be superior; the weak will be weak, etc.
And as for insults - Calling someone a nigger or a faggot is a way of implying that they're all the negative stereotypes that are associated with blacks or gays. Meanwhile, there are no insulting words for whites because there's nothing negative about being white. (And to call white people boring - I don't understand how non-white's level of boredom is the responsibility of the white race. Or is this another one of those blame white people things? "I'm bored. It's da white man's fault. Always making me bored and shit.")
And as a side note - In my earlier comment, there was no sensitivity, no tears. I was agreeing with you. If your reading comprehension was at a white man's level you would have understood that. But I guess that reading comprehension is too boring for someone as diverse as you.

Good Response!
i have to take responsibility for my own lack of clarity... I did make the first statements... actually... I AM that boring white folk...and am about as equal opportunity as you can get... I don't have anything against any group.... until they act like jackasses... either dangerously, or stupidly... somehow affecting me or mine... when I spoke of equal opportunity, I took this whole deal as being a levelling... Everyone is whatever pejorative is preferred, and Everyone is entitled to speak freely and how they choose... I bear you no animosity... I posed a question... you misunderstood and I responded to that... that's all ... its not worth getting hitched and spending our lives together... on goat farm, somewhere int he middle east... Cheers!

Then act like it and speak/type in coherent sentences. You know, like a white person.
If that's true, then don't claim you made me shed "whiny little ffffaggottty tears".
Am I mad? Nope. I'm just trying to make it clear that bullshit like this doesn't fly here. And again, if you are white, you need to start acting like it. We hold our kind to a higher standard, because (unlike the others) we're capable of living up to that standard.
