I suspect that it's about Voat's new feature that's been due for a long time. It's the ability to open polls to take sub ownership from subs that are being poorly managed - moving Voat to a 'more democratic' state.
Done improperly, it's going to be tyranny of the mob.
Pop some popcorn. It could get amusing for a while. It's probably not going to end well.
I would like to say that I can't believe he's going to go through with this idea, but I can believe it. Putt has a history of questionable choices and buggy code. I think he usually means well, but he's sometimes also a master troll.
I've read the documentation on how the votes work so people that don't know how to use subverse settings or are MIA will be the first casualties. I was really hoping he would do the CCP reset though.
Way back when, Putt mentioned beta testing the new sub transfer system. I went over and demanded that a sub be given to me just because I was a national treasure and I had demanded I be given it.
The sub was not immediately transferred to me.
It was at that point I knew it was not going to be any good and I swore off any participation. I have paid it pretty much no attention, because it's obviously flawed from inception.
When I demand a sub, I should be given it - because I'm pretty much a national treasure and show a history of having been good for subs. Mostly the national treasure part...

That's just my hunch. I don't actually know.

I didn't. I didn't pay any attention.

You should have asked for midgets is why.

I'm not sure that'd have helped with the sub-transfer, but they possibly would have made me pay more attention.
I visited chat like once. I hung out for a while, declared the whole thing absurd, and left.
In order for Voat to have a good transfer system, I should be given any sub I damned well demand.
And it should happen quickly.
