How low a score can a Voat goat have before getting kicked? Account banned? IP banned?

submitted by SocksOnCats to AskUpgoat 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 17:27:12 ago (+7/-1)     (AskUpgoat)

I see a particular user on here who’s clearly just stirring shit and farming negative points. Is there any good point to this? Is there any good contribution to the site from this?

Should there be a point where someone (or a bot) gets kicked or banned for such behavior?

Free speech, unless its illegal from my understanding. Internet points mean jack shit.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

Downvotes into the negative engage some type of throttling though.

That shit got abused on og voat

Some people need to be throttled. I embrace Old Voat and still laugh about r/thedonald tears rolling down the cheeks of many.

THEY HAD IT COMING.

OG voat was a delightful mess.

sheer poetry, Lord N, sheer poetry.

Free speech is pretty jewish. They pushed it so they could openly subvert our society with disgusting free speech, and you see the results.

The Christcucks want to censor me, even though they have been jewed by Saul the Pharisee. We need free speech to hash these things out, even if some of it is subversive. The libschitz want to censor speech too, because they have their own definition of subversive.

Would be good to have a legitimate debate on who's a Christcuck and who's a legitimate Christian. Imo, the ratio is around 99 to 1.

The voting function on Voat has no other purpose than to serve as an "I hate you" button. If a person has low karma, the feature is working. There is no threshold or point of lowness at which any other functionality kicks in. If you're looking to get this person banned, I would say that is likely just as much his goal as accumulating low karma. So take that into consideration at least.

an "I hate you" button
I will remember this phrase when I downvoat.

[ - ] we_kill_creativity 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:09:27 ago (+2/-1)

I think they're gay for being a whiny bitch about it, but...

...I can't say they're wrong either.

[ - ] Sector7 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 21, 2023 00:15:57 ago (+1/-0)

It's really a "you should be killed but downvoting is my only option" button.

[ - ] bobdole9 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 21, 2023 09:18:55 ago (+1/-0)

Upvoat
Gas yourself
I love Voat.

is this a glitch ? I noticed the same thing with Big guy from queens yesterday. same comment can be explained by refreshing or something small but it was like 2 hours apart. and heres yours half an hour apart.

[ - ] La_Chalupacabra 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 20:13:54 ago (+1/-0)

That's simply a glitch from the Matrix resetting.
Please stand by.

More a "user feature" I've noticed.

1. You shitpost, and click post to comment in a thread.

2. When you navigate back, the text input with your shotpost is there.

3. Navigate back again and you are out of the post.

If you forgot you click "post" in step 1, then navigate back to step 2, one may think their comment didn't post. If they were stuck in this window and went to do something else, came back, then thought "better post this", it could justify the time differences.

User error.

What is even the point of 'farming negative points'??

[ - ] lord_nougat 4 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 17:41:51 ago (+4/-0)

Probably some compunction like fags trying to catch AIDS on purpose.

[ - ] Anus_Expander 3 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:08:55 ago (+3/-0)

'Bugchasers' are mainly in it for the gibs

That's dumb.

They're dumb!

[ - ] Anus_Expander 3 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:17:17 ago (+3/-0)

yeah, but gibs...plus lots of attention, which is what faggots crave more than actual cock..

Maybe he gets a few shekels from his masters for every downvote he gets?

Used to be a downvote troll on reddit that was approaching -100,000. Reddit changed their coding to prevent him from reaching that milestone. I forget the name, but the guy was actually pretty clever and funny at triggering people who wear their triggers on their sleeves.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 0 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 17:48:16 ago (+0/-0)

Everyone here only gets a certain number of downvotes to dole out. It's a ratio based on how much you upvote. So, a downvote farmer could conceivably tempt users into using their downvotes at the wrong time. Thereby leaving the site open to spam attack, since no one would be able to downvote incoming spam posts. It would be a cunning plan, if downvoting the spam posts actually did something. But it does not.

Is that actually true for here? I don't have a way to know for sure myself. Also, on old Voat didn't you have to have a minimum CCP score until you could make posts? I ask because there are certain accounts that only spam, and they constantly get downvoted, but it never seems to affect their ability to post.

[ - ] chrimony 0 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:09:18 ago (+0/-0)

You need 2x the number of upvotes to downvotes. It's a pretty lame mechanism, as you can just spam upvotes to random crap to avoid it.

I think GradeAFaggot just likes being a dick. S/he may not even believe half the stuff s/he says.

How many votes can a voat goat get if a voat goat did vote on voat!

Nobody should be banned just because they're disliked

[ - ] paul_neri 1 point 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:07:37 ago (+1/-0)

My sentiments exactly!

[ - ] AngryWhiteKeyboardWarrior 0 points 2.3 yearsFeb 21, 2023 00:17:32 ago (+0/-0)

There's not much point in banning people anyway. As we've seen with a few people here, they just go make alt accounts and keep doing their thing. You might discourage a few people with a ban, but not the real OG niggers.

[ - ] paul_neri 0 points 2.3 yearsFeb 20, 2023 18:12:06 ago (+0/-0)

The beauty of the goat is its toughness to stand squared up in a corner and deflect all manner of incoming insults and disagreements in the name of free speech which is why Redditors and lefties generally should be encouraged to join the site just so we can show how we can tolerate their totalitarian garbage but they can't tolerate our ... balanced, thoughtful and moderate attitudes.

You might feel more at-home on Poal.

Depends which federal department the poster works for.
