There is /v/askgoat and /v/askvoat2 already though. Good luck with yours, let the best one win.

I suspect @atko will let whoever is most successful out of the askvoat replacements replace them.

Good luck.

Even if that's not the aim, that's what it does.

So inciting a brigade isn't as bad as taking part in it, even though you started it to begin with? I'm not bashing just don't get the logic behind it I guess. I'll just mind my own business and make sure the subs I'm involved in don't turn that way and would ask you keep your people out of them.

This needs to be monitored for sure. The rest of this thread this individual goes on to literally describe the sub and purpose of the group collective (a hive-mind growing that they refer to as "we") using what exactly fits the definition of "brigading" (although trying to suggest somehow it isn't ) and all the while suggesting that somehow it is ok for them because they are doing it on the metric of "quality" rather than "content" (like that fucking has any significance or changes things). Clearly this is a group of individuals who believe that they have the right idea about what constitutes "quality" content on this site and they somehow need to enforce how it is viewed. Those that partake in such activities on here while simultaneously serving as moderators of other subs just flat out reeks of conflict of interest at best and SRS-like behavior at worst.

Unfortunately I don't believe there are any rules against brigading.

Since I'm getting down voted off like to clarify that I disagree with brigading. But as far as I know there really aren't any rules against it. Check the User Agreement yourself.

Literally the most SRS thing I've seen on voat yet, and @stoic is defending it.

Voat manipulation is people making threads to get points to cross the downvote limit and at that time mostly the upvote limit. You were limited to 10 upvotes per 24 hours until you got 100 CCP which was hard to get at that time, such that those threads popped up all the time-- which was what Atko was referring to. Also the OP is trying to start a baseless witchhunt on the basis of suggesting it is a SJW sub.

Copypasta from before: Once upon a time (one month ago) this was a wildy popular idea. /v/disagreebutton is apolitical, meant to combat the toxic atmosphere that we all knew from Reddit to remove dissent. It isn't a SJW sub, which is what you are suggesting it is.

It's not a brigading sub that downvotes comments, but upvotes those that got downvoted for dissenting (not for having a poor quality). If a post doesn't adhere to what the sub it is posted in considers a quality post, then it should be ignored or if it's shitty downvoted. Quality being not a matter of how eloquent you are: you can't post an essay about quantum mechanics in /v/funny and then post it in /v/disagreebutton expecting it to be restored.

Don't pretend like the abuse of the downvote button to silence dissent isn't a problem, that it is a SJW sub and like /v/disagreebutton can't solve that problem. If the majority likes to be naïve in thinking Voaters wont abuse the downvote button and that we are better than Redditors, then i'll delete it.

Edit: You claim to have found a connection between people defending /u/she[ +3 ] (meaning they are SJW's) and people being active on /v/disagreebutton. But @Spacerosa[ +8 ] was and is strongly against /v/disagreebutton.

As a mod of both /v/FatPeopleHate and /v/SJWhate I have also defended @she from this ridiculous witch hunt. This shit is insane and needs to stop, the community is making a fool of them selves and going against the heart of Voat out of fear and misplaced anger. the OP @gatordontplaythatsht also runs a witch hunt sub that is totes not a witch hunt sub guise ;) /v/reportSRS

The road toe hell is paved with good intentions. The second you start brigading, that's the second I call you out for being yet another SJW. And yes, I don't care what you brigade about, your problem is just like with the SJWs, you think you're above everyone else and can decide what we should think. I say no to that.

It is still vote brigading. The end does not justify the means.

OP is a butthurt, rabble-rousing little bitch that accuses people of being shills, etc., if you don't agree with them.

im really tired of this shit, its a handful of noisy individuals i see over and over trying to create drama

So you're imagining someone dissenting and getting downvoted, that dissent being posted to your sub to get people to upvote them, and you really think the person they're disagreeing with won't get downvoted in turn? I guarantee that's what will happen. People will browse the topics, find something they think didn't deserve to get downvoted because they agree with it, then go upvote the posts they agree with and downvote everyone who has the opposite position.

Don't pretend like the abuse of the downvote button to silence dissent isn't a problem

You're literally making my point for me, /v/disagreebutton is literally abuse of the down vote and up vote. You logic is flawed, voting wasn't what destroyed reddit, it was corrupt moderation and administration. Your sub is not a "popular" idea, it's practically empty and lacking any real support, and for good reason; it's a bad idea, badly implemented and biased as it could possibly be. Please take the sub down.

I think it's a terrible idea, and people should up or down vote however they like. I totally disagree with that down voat as a disagree button nonsense and think the community is fine with the voting system as is. Please remove the sub.

Although the sub seems to be an anti-vote-manipulation-manipulation this in itself is still a manipulation.

It isn't a SJW sub, which is what you are suggesting it is.

That's not exactly what /u/gatordontplaythatsht said. He said:

/v/disagreebutton is a sub modded by @stoic designed around manipulating votes on comments they deem should be higher or lower (srs anyone?)

I'm not sure how to exactly differentiate between SRS and SJW's. But isn't SRS a subreddit and SJW a term for an individual? Even if they overlap in some views, it's not the same.

If the majority likes to be naïve in thinking Voaters wont abuse the downvote button and that we are better than Redditors, then i'll delete it.

You can't prohibit people from abusing downvote's. Atko at least tried to make it harder for people to downvote. I don't think your approach is the right way to the problem, though i don't have a suggestion myself.

oh gawd, not this manhood101 shit again.

It's kind of silly when you think about it. You can't really enforce what an upvoat or downvoat is for. If someone says, "Hey, here's a post you may think doesn't contribute to the community, check it out," and a bunch of people go there, agree it doesn't contribute to the community, and downvoat it, that meets the definition of "brigading," yet that seems like a perfectly logical thing to allow. I mean, that's essentially what /v/bestof is, except in reverse.
