I just added something to s/funny and put a Phuks OC label before the picture... it'd be cool to have a watermark I can add before posting on imgoat so that it's not going to go to Voat.... I really don't want the power voaters here... they've ruined voat and I doubt they'd keep their bias to themselves here

Unless it's OC, I'm not a fan of the idea.
I don't see anything wrong with things being reposed, I kinda thought that was the point of sites like this. To share and promote interesting content.
I also am not a fan of creating an 'us' and 'them' mindset.
There are no sides. Goats and Foxes are allowed to go back and forth between sites without having to chose one.

I think I understand your intentions, but remember, it was intolerance that killed Eddit. And then intolerance that killed Voat.
I'd like to try a different strategy. One where everyone is welcome, but nobodys agendas are.

I know, easier said than done.

Well put. I do both ... and to be honest, I like this place much better. I hope it stays as it is.

I never steal stuff from any site other than web sites I read myself, but I also don't see it as a terrible thing if someone saw an interesting article on V and posted it to P. V doesn't own it, nor did they write it ... now OC, I see the point, otherwise, who cares.

well "putt". (joking!). I see where you're coming from and I'd only like this for our own OC that we create. In a way it'd keep phuks it's own little nebula on the net, and if big posters got the content they'd be forced to admit that it's from us or not post it. This would be a big advertising logo for phuks when we make great content so in a way it'd facilitate finding the place.... no I don't want to stifle anyones ability to post anywhere. I'd just rather the subscribers knew that we got the dank they don't if and when they use our own new content

We don't host the images (yet), so we can't add water marks.

that was really really *#$ing fast.... well it's worth considering if we do host because it'd keep our OC here and I'd probably post more stuff that's OC

We have planned to add a Phuks image host, but as it is a pain in the ass to moderate and keep it clean it'll probably only be available for trusted users™

Hey, you talking about me?

[–] [Deleted] 3 points (+3|-0)

people tend to take other phuks' OC and run to VOAT for fake points.... it happens. so I'm not talking about you UNLESS YOU DO IT lol

Nothing I do on either the V or the P is stolen from anywhere other than the web sites I frequent. And I could give a crap about fake internet points. If it was up to me, I'd do away with the whole vote system. I think it's just a dumb remnant of Facebook and Reddit. I read stuff as it comes in and decide if I like it or not, and could care less how anyone else votes on it. Neither V or P is so big ya need votes to guide your way IMHO and I sure as hell don't do FB or R.

well you're awesome and I know but I'd die if Dietfaggothead1 and others posted my content on voat with a twisted title to suit some narrative they're pushing. I haven't had facebook since 2011 and I have never ever tried reddit.... I'm really quite happy Phuks exists
