That is not a good strategy.

As if anyone would take that seriously.

If you don't mind, I'd love to read your article once it's published.

Well, no matter how shit Voat could become, I'd never go back to that SJW infested, pseudo-viral marketing platform. Ever. Except for porn.

lol there is no going back to the place for which we do not speak

Over 3000 CCPs disappearing from an account by going back through past history is not a brigade?

No. Her users hate her. That's not a brigade, that's a revolt.

I must need to clean my glasses here. What I saw as evidence says otherwise.

Nobody has presented evidence.

I would not like that to happen to me and I don't think you would like it to happen to you. You yourself have downvoated 1/2 as much as you have upvoated comments.

I don't find lies to be contribution to the conversation.

Coming in at 1169 downvoats for the 2 months you've been here. I can see why you would not like it said there was no voat brigade.

Prove a brigade. Show me where a group of people created a sub and post to downvote @she like was done for her upvotes. Show me where minimum ccp rules were changed to brigade someone with downvotes.

Oh wait, there's no evidence for that.

Users just hate that cunt, and it's completely her fault.

But go ahead and blame us because you're too pathetic to admit the truth.

Post it there. Go for it. "Evidence", right?

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Yup, someone made /u/axolotl_peyotl_ just to spam men's rights bullshit and make me look like an asshole.

They've been doing this since Voat was Whoaverse.

Well people can start by down voting the goddamn racists. But so far they keep getting voted to the top while anyone even slightly reasonable gets shoved to the bottom

brother_tempus comes to mind that dude says shit all the time with no evidence and a cynical perspective confused as wisdom. plus hes almost constantly active makes me think hes a shill.

I don't care who is pushing what agenda so long as the admins aren't limiting peoples' rights to push an agenda. The problems arise when that agenda goes from speech to actions.

What Voat needs is a better way of choosing moderators.

It should have been obvious that "First to (re)claim the name becomes dictator" was a bad idea from the start.

A lot?

You meant like 15-20?

No, the only thing that looks bad are all of these complaints on my front page about some user I could care less about.

I love a good tiff.

Swap 'u/she' with '/v/protectvoat' and this theory would make just as much sense at this point. The ones making Voat look bad are you fucking assholes and idiots going on and on and on and on and on and fucking on about it. Tell me what has She done since this drama? Has she actually been given the chance to prove her critics wrong? Or has it just been a few obsessed 'heroes' shitting all over this website 25 hours a day since then? Even though I disagreed with She in the beginning, these antics have proven to me who the real enemy really is here. I know that when I walk away from this place it definitely won't be because of She.

As far as I'm concerned: Good luck with that!

I'm with ya bro/bra, I never commented on reddit... However I feel part of (if small) this community.

Only one side is actually vote brigading. There's not only no proof for the other side, but users all over the place saying that they downvote any post they see of hers. The upvote brigade actually happened, with @stoic admitting to going through her history and upvoting every post he could.

I wouldn't doubt it at all. Even now she is over at FPH pissing off the regulars with the blessing of the mods.

meaning that if there is a conspiracy, @she is not even necessarily a part of it (though it can't be ruled out), with the main culprits being those that were casting aspersions on @she .

Seriously?

The bitch actually deleted content that wasn't against the posted rules. She took over a sub that nobody wanted her taking over. The people arguing for her have nothing but appeals to emotion or other fallacies, while we actually argue with a narrative that is supported by archived links to comments and mod deletions/bans.

Really sick of these fence-sitters that want to see both sides as equally wrong here. Those arguing against she actually have a reality-based reason for doing so.

Seriously, the amount of people here who want to create a "safe space" away from SJW posters is astounding. The people calling for @Atko to step into this shit storm and make their "safe space" are all idiots.

Isn't Admin power overreach the reason a lot of you are here in the first place?

I personally have always been a proponent of voting with your feet (or hooves if we're all goats now) if you don't like a sub, block it and unsubscribe. Vote the content you don't want to see down and up vote what you want to see.

It's working

I'll never go back. NEVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

It would make sense. The people here seem crazy.

Even with all the racism, I'm not backing down. I WILL FIGHT.

Check my comment history and all the downvotes!

I'll go to even say she is maybe a mod at SRS.

Nah - I don't think it's any sort of conspiracy. I think it's just the actions of a socially maladroit person with an outsized ego and an unhealthy desire for power.

This is one of those things that seems very nice in theory, but fails in practice. On the internet, especially in communities that favor anonymity, you can never know who is the overwhelming majority. So who can vote on this vote-of-no-confidence? How do you make sure it's not brigaded?

I'll give you one simple example:

1. AskVoat announcements are heavily downvoted, and @she has a negative CCP score. Is this brigading or is this the opinion of the community? Is it a combination of both? Psychological studies show people are more often than not, going to react like the majority if they don't have a strong opinion on a subject.

2. On the other side of the spectrum, people claim @she has a lot of alts that upvote her and the other mods. How do we know this is true? How do we know these aren't organic upvotes? Is it that far out there to assume people agree with her? Or is it really brigades? A combination of both?

Someone suggested a very cool idea - Seniority. The user suggested that old and active members of the community, should get more "rights". Such as vote weight, have more say in the matter etc etc. This in my opinion is the best solution, but it's not without criticism as well. This kind of experimental system could really hurt new members, as their voices won't be as equally heard.

A decision was made based on the rules at the time and the evidence presented. Right now, it's over. Drop it. Personally, I lean slightly toward she should have been removed, but that didn't happen. Those who are determined to have she removed, keep watching. Present new evidence if and when it comes. Give it a rest for now for the sake of the entire site please.

I unsubscribed from askvoat and I refuse to subscribe to any of its replacements now. Thanks for the drama y'all. I'll post my questions in other places, and the v/whatever verse is looking pretty good now.

*conspirators :)

I see half a dozen posts about /u/she every day. What are the admins waiting for?

Honestly, if anything makes me want to leave Voat it's the amount of posts I see about this She person. I do not give a flying fuck what some mod did on askvoat. I'm getting really sick of reading about it.

They are going to have a hard time getting people to leave Voat for Reddit by reminding everyone why they left Reddit in the first place.

I CAN FIX THIS GUYS!

I don't think it is a conspiracy, I think /u/She is just the type of person who will cause drama wherever she goes. This new drama that she has created by imposing a Social Justice & pro-/u/She litmus test on folks seeking to become mods at /v/AskVoat is proof positive that she is unfit to moderate a default sub, let alone take ownership of it after being here only 2 months. I really hope @atko and @puttitout revise that policy because /u/She has proved it can negatively impact an entire site. She needs to STFU and GTFO.

I haven't noticed this person, do you have a eli5 or outoftheloop summary?

I've been thinking the same thing. All this drama seems like a group of people trolling this place into a big shit show.
