I've been here for years too, and I got the warning. Putt even made a comment in another thread that he saw my username on there and laughed. I don't know what sets their algorithm off. Putt admitted it needs some work. One or two of the names on that banlog were questionable, but on the whole I think most of them deserved it. Jew_McCarthy definitely did. There's no way his ass wasn't upvoating himself with alts. I get that you're pissed, but if you really got caught in the dragnet by mistake, I'm sure Putt will fix it. He's done it before.

You mean he's spezzing out? No shit. Him looking at who downvoated him and then turning around to publicly call them destroyers is reddit power mod, paranoid, creepy shit. LOL!

Vote manipulation likely is voting on the same thing with more than one account. It's low hanging fruit who haven't really covered their tracks well or been careless that have been targeted.

My primary account was banned for "vote manipulation." I don't buy it, and you can check @WhiteMatter to confirm that I didn't do jack to it.

I know that asking for upvotes is fucking stupid, but I'm going to anyway, because this backup account I made a couple years ago has insufficient points to ping Putt directly to get this shit fixed.

You're a menace. Go play you 10 yo games over at reddit you shithead. I HATE those folks who go into others accounts and downvote the shit out of EVERYTHING they've posted out of SPITE. You people should be SHOT DEAD by the government IMO.

If you brigade or vote manipulate with alts ever, you're a petty faggot and deserve a global IP rangeban

Said it before, saying it again:

Start screencapping things. Save copies of threads. get proof on Your machine. This shit happened at 8chan. It happened slowly, then went full-retard when the roach got banned. One thing I've learned in My various battles against the forces of wtf on the internet, is that BTFO'ing someone is meaningless if You don't have proof on Your own machine. Because the other guy can delete shit.

The whole point of places like this is/was supposed to be freedom of speech. I have the freedom to, say, enter a NatSoc thread and call everyone a bunch of retards, and everyone has the freedom to tell Me to go jump in a dumpster fire. And both parties can throw Their votes around as They see fit. We don't have to agree with each other for this to work. Hell, We can hate each other's guts. But We do need to be able to say what's on Our minds without fear of being (((shut down))) by administrative discretion.

Again: START RECORDING EVIDENCE. PRINT SCREEN IS YOUR FRIEND. RIGHT-CLICK SAVE-AS IS YOUR FRIEND

Only on Voat does this post stay up.

I only trust sites that leave this kind of post up.

I still can't even vote people up because of the low points bullshit. I've been here for months and browse every day.

It's only bad if you're not voting me down. Note the scores on my comments.

kev, it's not even about the account.

This was a /u/spez move.

slippery slope is reel

the purpose of the vote is to indicate not that you dont like the person but what they are saying in that particular thread does not contribute to the conversation. if you disagree with it you should comment back explaining why, like I am here now. I wont downvote this thread because its a valid conversation to have.

having said that, looking up someone and downvoating everything they say is what reddit users and people who cannot control their feelings do, and since the act accomplishes nothing but to distort honest feedback for that user I agree with the notion that you should be banned for it.

Well if you keep this up they may ban your IP as well.

Lol no one cares what you think, say, opine or believe you loser. Get a life and GT off the computer you pathetic American.

I'm honestly surprised I wasn't even sent a warning for my constant downvoats of almost everything in v/truthhurts. Maxcactus is a raging spam faggot and deserves every one of those downvoats though.

It would be great to get some clarity on what "Vote Manipulation" really is. Some stuff is obvious and no one disagrees. But where in the rules does it say I can't give all my downvotes to a single user that is begging for them? How many times can I downvote someone before it's manipulation? Or upvote them, for that matter?

I can't see how one user downvoting another user is manipulation. Isn't that literally what the voting is for? We only get one vote per comment, and you can't vote on anything older than 7 days (I believe).

I think we would all appreciate some clarity @Puttitout

I'm not even saying I disagree per se, I just don't even know what the rule is...

Because votes matter to what people see and don't. It changes to order of what you see first on /Front.Right? Too many negatives gets shit deleted? That's a no-go. If that wasn't the case and posts were shown in-sub by time posted, so called brigading wouldn't matter. I don't give a fuck what people think of my posts. I think the vote count is a good indicator for seeing how many people agree with me or are interested in the same subject matter. It is exploited at Feggit and should maybe be coded to be irrelevant. Novelty.

the fact that you have an alternate account rather indicates your ban was justified...and too boot this identity needs to be banned

Why don't you move on? You add nothing to this site.

@kevdude is a power mod who deletes comments & submissions, claims its something he has never done under the wrong.

@kevdude uses /v/protectvoat to downvoat users and brigade subverses. he continuously lies about me because he is paid to do it.

and fucking lies 95% of the time, you can see he as in almost bot like attack c&p the same message to me over and over

He even ask for quote in his words "my services" to brigade a verse. he works along side of @crensch who is also a paid shill.

If you get downvoted you get restricted.

I actually got banned for fighting against voat manipulation

voat is dead move on

-dial

Do you use multiple accounts or just the one account? Because if you’re using multiple accounts you should be banned, you are the new users you complain about

Take a look at that list, who’s missing? Yep, he’s being selective about the bans. Just like reddit. I wonder how many other users that disappeared were memory holed?

More details. less vagueness

Supposedly I "brigaded"

.

I DO THAT. I’m A Brigade of One

.

But I got banned today for it.

have you considered, maybe you're just a whiny easily offended faggot who broke one of the very few, extremely simple, and easy to follow rules?

Maybe try being less of a little bitch that wastes your time hunting down every post made by someone that triggered you, and go outside once in a while.

Three sides to every story. Before I even question Voat and your story. I need to hear the other sides.

What is the voat filter?

Is there a public modlog list of banned users? If someone gets memory holed by the admins, are there any mechanisms by which the admins could be audited? Of course they have full access to the logs for tampering, but the more transparent moderation is, the better.

I didn't get a warning either, lol. I'm an asshole of one. Luckily, I made this account with my dad months ago and still have the password saved. Putt and I had some PMs, and he said he'd check it out today when he's at a PC and get back to me. u/ruck_feddit

@NeedleStack @TheBuddha

I bet you're the name I was shocked to see. Sounds like you were caught up in the faulty dragnet. Putt needs to put the algorithm on pause until it's completely sorted out.

He's told users to pm him if they were wrongly given warnings or banned so maybe do that? Sucks for those users who had only one account and have no way of contacting him (especially since voat is invite-only now). :(

Yeah, same thing happened to me last night. I'm not sure if it's intentional on Putt's part, I think the algorithm is overzealous. Either way, I'd like my old account back.

I remember when i downvoated so much that i was tagged as "downvoat meanie" and couldn't downvoat anymore. What i did was just downvoat spam and anonspam.

I feel left out. I’ve got to up my game

Lucky bastard. I didn't even get a warning notice!

I brigade of one sometimes. I don't think that should be bannable. If I don't like a bunch of shit I should be able to downvote it. All of it. Without being fagged on by the mods/admins.
