Eliminate SCP/CCP as a user function.

Oh no, Muh internet points.

User points are gay. They encourage bad behavior in several ways. There is the brigades up and down of course. There is also the more insidious nature of gamifying things. Gamification is a route of addiction. How many come here when they should be doing something else? No one will admit it but you like that dopamine hit when your counter creeps or better jumps up or down.

Should Voat be promoting addictive behaviors using proven mind techniques like gamification?

So. How would the page work? It's easy. You still vote in order to drive things up and down the page. You just don't collect points to the user acct.

Acct restrictions. There are other ways this can be handled. I can think of a couple but I wanted to keep this kinda short and its already growing. There are other ways to handle 'reputation and trust' w/in a web community though.

User accrued points are unnecessary, cause internal conflict and are unhealthy for the users themselves. End CCP

But upvoat this shit to the front page first. I needs a dopamine hit bro

As I said, youd still up and down vote everything so it would be driven up and down the page. There can be a report button or similar manner of dealing w spam, degeneracy and the illegal.

There is no good reason for points to accrue in my acct just because I posted an awesome video or recipe for spicy bacon caramel popcorn. Although that popcorn is a winner.

Make a post at v/ReportSpammers so we can get spam deleted from the site.

If it's legal, marked NSFW, and in the correct subverse, it's okay to be here. I'm talking with system as we speak about a Report button getting added.

Why mark spam NSFW? If it's spam, it shouldn't be on the site at all.
At old voat when the Report button was new, there was a lot of button pushing but it was easily waded through.
System's goal was to keep this new voat as much like the old voat as possible.

And no thanks on the hentaiheaven gig; I hate that shit with a passion.

I wasn't at voat for the last year or so due to real world commitments. I'm sorry it went downhill like it did.

I'm not sure anything I say is going to please you but I'm responding for anyone else who wants the scoop: If it's spam, it will be deleted from the site. If it's illegal, it will be deleted from the site. There's a ban button as well and neither @system nor I have any fear of using it. He has created the ability for us to block users and subverses so if there's junk you don't want to see, block it. If it's illegal, please report it. There is also the option of not viewing anything marked NSFW and this feature is found in your our profile.

Personally, I agree with you about the adult sexual material -- there's tons of places to find it and there's no need for it to be here. That said, the greater goal of free speech is a worthy one and I'm glad you're here to post what you do, I like your content and you have many upvotes from me.

You know, I think it is hilarious how you lot just come right out and say that you want to censor me from the site. No bones about it whatsoever. No subtlety. You'd just ban anyone that posts things you dislike and fundamentally change this into another website.

The anti-Joe people have always been that way, mind. But thanks for highlighting it in such stark terms on this new site. For all the world to see - of course!

That's just called an imageboard. Reply to good posts and bump them; sage bad posts if you must reply. Voat isn't an imageboard, but solid imageboards exist.
