I'm feeling mixed on this.

  1. I don't put much value in badges.

  2. I do think there is merit (being @puttitout) into showing appreciation for the people that help actively contribute to your 'project' (life's work at this point) and I'm convinced that the people committed to building up this website will appreciate the badge.

  3. The definitions of builder and destroyer don't exist. I can't even say they are vague. There just aren't any. It's an incredibly subjective choice from Putt.

  4. The people highlighted in his post are not according to my subjective definition of "builder"

4a. @virge however nice the concept, the account is still suspect to me. It's a 4 year old inactive account. First contribution he does make happens 4 years after he created an account yet that makes him a builder?? I'm not even convinced yet that Virge makes his post in good faith. So far it's been 3 posts over 2 weeks? There are people like @needlestack that have build a community around their hobby for 4 years straight that were not mentioned. Imo Glownigger

4b. While @kevdude has definitely been an active member of voat. I would definitely not subscribe him as a builder. Kevdude has organised mobs and destroyed much more accounts/moderators/ec than any other on this site. His posts are either jokes with his ingroup or crusades against people he perceives negatively (usually for censorship of other people, sure, but not every time) Is kevdude's activism necessary? You can argue yes. But these actions are still destructive. Imo destroyer

4c. I don't follow the Qtards or @srayzie much so I wouldn't know. I do know it's a long standing account that created and builded a Q subverse 2 years before the Reddit ban and subsequent soyboy invasion. Imo builder

And I agree with the other reply here about NASA yes men. It's about personality types in the end. People like empress, middlepath, rotteux etc are people that clearly want to contribute in a positive amicable way. Kevdude definitely values voat, but the way he shows this is 180° the other way. And critics, opposition and different viewpoints are needed.

TLDR: I think builder is the wrong label. It's not defined and the connotation does not fit the way putt wants to use it. But I do agree in the concept of showing appreciation for your active username.

Hover over my account. Read my bio. Realize how funny it is that you can still find almost four years of archives with my comments, posts, and replies on the open Internet and SearchVoat.co.

Puzzle complete for you? @TheodoreKent

Yeah I don't get the suspicions about your account. I recognize your name as being a normal, regular contributor on here for AGES. Users are antsy that a lot of their questions have been unanswered and are looking sideways at a few people they don't recognize so I wouldn't take it too personally.

hey buddy sorry, I trying to inform us old schoolers.... kevdude has access to putts account (or whatever) and is posting under his name. The three global stickies are all drafted by kevdude.

and virge is a sketchy account as well

Just be carefull needle. voat is very fucking weird right now.

It has been easy to see who you are considering you sign your comments with 'dial'. :) Well, unless you have proof (and not just a strong suspicion) I think it's unfair to Kevdude and Putt to say Kev has access to Putt's account. If you consider my 'benefit of the doubt'-ness to be folly, then so be it.

Don't worry, I see that things on voat are a bit fucked. I just want to shitpost and share knitting patterns, ya know?

Thanks for the tune, I'm grooving to it in my headphones right now.

I get it, tho I believe i'm not incorrect. Kevdude and I have been feuding for years. I also know Putts writing style, aswell many others. You really cannot conjure proof other than give posting knowledge.

When was the last time putt or atko made 3 global stickies concisely at 8 am CST. they are euro. Who is active at that time? kevdude. Plus the writing style is a dead giveaway.

happy you enjoyed the song, tech thieves are good stuff
