I’m still gonna comeback to this place now and then. This place is a lot more lad back than voat and that’s a nice thing once in a awhile
Why did you give us new guys more voting privileges? I know you guys have implemented some interesting things to prevent bots and other sorts of invasions, but restricting up/down voting seems like the simplest thing you could do. I guess the small size of size of the community makes it unnecessary? However, if SRS gets a thorn up their ass concerning something over here you're going to have quite the shit show on your hands. I'm guessing it's trivial to implement those restrictions if something like that occurs?

we can see the influxes of votes from new users, we have tools to see if one, or a few accounts, keep upvoting or downvoting someone, or a domain, and how often. We decided that new users being told they cant vote anymore on first their day, might drive away more good people than stop the maliciousness. If we have to, we can easily purge votes to restore order.

Yes, it's in the todo list.
That rule was from when we considered letting new accounts only vote so many times per day. We didnt want people to undo votes from an older post, then use the vote on another thing or keep other people and posts off the page. We've since changed how the sorts work and we give new users more voting privileges, so it's not needed like it was.
