In this here archive, the head of Voat's chapter of SRS admits to having plans to take over this site.
In before Beatlejuice comes in this thread acting like a faggot.
Might be Santa. Have you tried e-mailing the North Pole?
phuks owner giving zero phuks.
It's crazy that they keep pushing us as the threat. Between about 5 users here, we had over two dozen badges for finding/fixing bugs and hundreds of dollars donated to voat. I personally did css for over 30+ subs, replied to a bunch of sub help posts, and posted a dozen different bugs I found while helping putt build the api. I gave a few different scripts to pv early on to help them see new users and detect bad stylesheet data. I even had a site going that they asked for that kept track of votes/posts/comments/subscribed counts for each sub.
I left after I asked about letting css mods mod more than 10 subs since they can't affect users/posts, they can only change the stylesheets. I got a bunch of shitty messages and -35 votes in 25 mins. The only difference was that I asked it in a post created by pmya. I was just tired of getting shitty messages so I left.
Welcome to Voat.
ExpertShitposter, Gabara, KevDude, and Beatlejuice harass anyone who speaks out against them.
Phuks strikes me as a laid back place; it's the the "stoner friend" of content aggregates, if you will. If someone posts something radical here, I don't expect much more of a reaction from the users here beyond making them laugh and go "Yeah..." before squinting hard and flopping backwards in their chairs, tbh. I do have popcorn to share if the drama comes here, though.
Any group's hypothetical ability to take over depends on the admins - if rules are introduced that can be abused to silence genuine users, it won't be hard. I think as long as the unpopular users still get to have their say just like anyone else, worthwhile debate can still exist below a cloud of unthinking ideological bullshit.
You notice that the admin of Phuks has made no posts what so ever?
On Voat, it was similar, when it was taken over by SBBH.
The admin posted less and less, in order to reduce any accountability.
Meanwhile, a cabal of brigaders took up the power vacuum.
They're completely right about our plan of internet domination, they only got our targets wrong. We don't want Voaters or Redditors, we're going after the real kings of the internet, we're going after Yahoo Answers members, AOL message board posters, Google Wave communities, and then on to the geocities and angelfire website rings! We're taking it all baby!
I was going to until I realized that your new account, that you said you wanted to use, was deleted too. I'm here tonight and can do it manually for you if you still want to. I keep getting confused because you keep using it.
You won't think it's sad when people like them rule the site.
But odds are, Phuks is the same brigade of users who control Putt.
no we just got tired of being called a brigade/srs when we weren't. It's the same as the left calling people racists/sexist/homophobe/xenophobe just to shut down the discussion. Voat used to be one of last places you could actually talk shit out..
Dunno. Anybody here knows who actually owns this site?
