Looks to me as though they're trying to get rid of the sub. In the past, they have made a decision on removing mods of subs and putting new ones in without too much user interaction, and they have never directly asked if a sub should be left to rot before.
The fact that the conversation can not be had without it being anon says a lot about the decline of Voat's community.
Yeah, my argument wasn't that they exist. My argument is one guy can make it look like 10 people all agree with his singular opinion. Multiply that by 10 individuals etc.. And since they are using the users comments to decide what to do, it is easily controlled by the right group of individuals and only really offers the illusion that the general users have legit say.
Open rego, you aren't going to be able to keep alts out. Not when the person is determined to make them and it seems like a job for some people.
Elections are secret votes where I live too and you do not need to show id.
Yes indeed sock puppet alts do exist.
