Can you please show me where the definitive list of people who have been un-banned is and explain how you correlated the data to make your absolute statement?
Maybe that's because being banned does not mean you cannot make a new account, if you stop the shithead behavior of your old account your new account will remain in good standing.
In other words, everyone who continues to participate period will make an alt, anyway. The ones who abandon the old account will just have new names.
I think there is enough feedback at this point that I would be surprised if Putt was not going to institute an appeals process for a one-time forgiveness or something of that nature. Either way, it's not like you are IP or e-mail address (if you choose to do that kind of thing) banned so you can always make a new account.
Being banned just means you lose that account for bad behavior. It's not permanent exile.
First, voat is invite only, so no, you can't just make a new account.
Second, people have been banned for downvoating NiggerVirus. NiggerVirus has not once contributed anything worthwhile, and posts only in default subs. I DV that shit every time I see it (I sort by New), as a way to curate. I have no idea if I am going to be banned for this. Who knows WTF is OK.
So called "builders" name call, shit on people with personal attacks, follow them around to shit on them because they don't like that person, and intentionally direct link to comments they don't like in order to brigade that comment and user, SRS mafia style.
I'm not some angel, either, and my content-add is mostly shitposting in our little shitposting sub. But I don't SRS brigade, and I rarely personal attack. (Rarely, not never.) I just don't know what's OK, so is my DVing NV bannable, or not? I hate his content because it is shit content. I don't search for it, but if it appears in New, I DV it.

You can only appeal through a PM, and you can't PM if you are banned.
