i helped cause the influx.

then watched the results.

i don't have anything against any of these guys they are just doing a job.

see correction above.

ah sweet thanks - well i was going to the 'manage account' button which is the cog and the universal standard for 'settings' it seems i have to click my user name and then the 'comments' tab appears - i have learned something here.

thanks for the correction and i'm sure i'm wrong about the fake SJW V Racist vector also that's probably just in my mind, i mean i see ww3 on the horizon and 'Alex Jones' hacks are constantly carrying on about 'Safe spaces' seems legit....

i suppose we have to have a distraction for the 'lower' people?

Yeah, the racist shit on this site feel so fake and forced. The original event (The fattening) that sparked Voat wasn't this kind of vitriolic hatred but more of a lazy point and laugh kind of thing.

I'm just glad other people see this too.

I grew up surrounded by self-proclaimed "racist" folk, but in most cases I remember, they weren't really hateful, they just had strong preferences that they would share when their less preferred races were nowhere to be seen. In my eyes that's called fear, not hate.

4chan is a pretty good example of the more "organic" style of racism. Bring up ANY race/gender/orientation and you can expect to have a debate about it where some real points are made. For the most part "racism" is just fear of the misunderstood, not a real feeling of hate for someone.

The entire schism was to separate the SJW from the non. We, being the non, are surrounded by what youre saying, actual racists, or posters who want this site to be angled towards a Racism.

In reality, we are the sane ones, but they are trying to get us into a guilt by association. Because we don't want to be around that shit, they want to say, But you're on Voat! Look at all the FPH you're included in.

No, the extreme racists are being paid to make this site look bad. There's enough money at stakes that discrediting competitors is a worthwhile 'investment'.

Sure those kind of people probably do exist, but that also being technologically competent enough to come here yet clueless enough to spew their shit where no one will care?

posters who want this site to be angled towards a Racism.

This is exactly the scenario. All the racist comments I've seen here are blatantly stupid and heavily downvoted. McReddit meanwhile still has that subtle layer.

it would not be hard to implement basic admin search abilities also to know if you have been censored.
likely these things will never be implemented as per the 'deal' cut after the attack.

Also, why would "system" ever need to upvoat or downvoat?

Voating should be sunlit.
