Decided to check out the site and give it a shot, lots of fuckery going on Voat I feel. I've longed lost trust with Putt, this last outage was just plain ridiculous on all levels.

Got a few questions about the site though

What is this user level and how is it determined?

How can I see what all subscriptions I currently have to subs?

How would I go about creating a sub?

hi, welcome. Poke around and let me know if you have any other questions.

  • user level is square root of xp divided by 10 ::: level 4 is (4x4x10) = 160 points

  • you can use /subs to see all subs, green and red stripes in the left edge of each row for subbed and blocks, a page with just your subbed subs is in the works

  • when you reach level 2 (40 points) you can make a sub, at level 5 (250 points) the captcha goes away

Much thanks!

Was about to include something about the Google captcha, as I have a natural distrust of Google.

Just ran through the list and added a few I'll be interested in.

Thinking on the /subs page it would be neat to see a sort by age function to see newer subs pop up.

Though I'll probably just stick to /s/all/new for the majority of the time.

Creating non-Google captchas is one of the open tasks.

Aside from those captchas, everything on the site is from us, with the exception of thumbnails. No third party stuff like ads, trackers etc.

For some reason the link you gave me is giving me a 404 error. Went to the tasks and the nothing was shown either.

Maybe I have to login with a proper account to see them?

Anyways a non-Google captcha would be great.

I saw the google scripts popping up in my uMatrix which is always a bit concerning.

This is probably the smart thing. The site has grown a lot in the past week or so, and there's a lot more activity, but it's not overwhelming to look at everything right now. If you block a sub then it doesn't show up there, so you can play it that way as well.

I've never been a fan of google services regardless, but I suspect captcha has blacklsited my IP or something. I nearly always get a "can not connect" message after a few clicks. Probably a carryover from the glory days of 4chan when we were trying to get them to pick up various slurs as challenge words for the old text captcha... Oh well, I can still phone-post.

Pembo, do the square root rules change the higher you go? For example, you are level 30. 30x30x10= 9000 yet your total score is only 8599 (as of now). Just curious.

The mining donation badge I have is worth some xp. I forget the exact numbers. Your xp is your votes plus badges..

sqrt((votes+badges) / 10)

Well hello there. There is a lot of fuckery going on amongst our types. Let us not make the same mistakes here!
