A few weeks ago the @virge account was hacked by Soapboxbanhammer mod @Trigglypuff. The account is now most likely shared. The original user who @PuttItOut praised as a Builder is no longer in control of the account. They had been using the account to screw around with, but they recently started pretending to be the real @virge again which is alarming.
You may remember @Trigglypuff as the SBBH mod that doxxed many Voat users, including mods of v/GreatAwakening, and was Global Banned by @PuttItOut, but she cried until he unbanned her. As @PuttItOut and @Cynabuns have been missing for months I thought I should bring this to everyone's attention. We goats have to stay vigilant.

25 upvotes in 13 minutes. I've been watching this shit for a long time and that's the highest ratio I've ever seen.
If we needed any further evidence that the management of Voat has gone Galt and a single user can manipulate the front page, there it is.

In their defense, your behavior has changed pretty drastically since you came back. It wouldn't surprise me.

I've been baiting Virge with comments and ideas that had provoked certain responses from him before he disappeared. He has not reacted in any similar way. This was my indicator that Virge is not virge of old. I believe something has changed but I doubt the SBBH shit is the cause.

Do you conclude it impossible the user learned from previous interactions with you and no longer engages the same way? Cognitive bias bites both ways.

Everyone has "tells" in their writing style. The tells are all different now. No one is capable of completely masking their tells, especially since they may not even recognize they have them.
