I see many posts with lots of comments, but no upvotes. I don't understand why you wouldn't upvote a post that you comment on.

I comment on a lot of stuff I disagree with and didn't want to upvote.

Op can’t comprehend that on poal we don’t downvote something we disagree with. We instead reply with a counter-argument. These voatfag trolls are used to mass-downvote and brigade legit users into oblivion and are so mad they can’t do it here without repercussions.

Maybe we just downvote shit that is obviously abjectly harmful and meant to shill progressive nonsense. Maybe we have just spent so much time filtering through all the kikery that we just want to get it out of our faces because we dont go to this platform to wake normies so we dont need to explain why retarded kikery is retarded because normies dont come to places like this.

Maybe just ignore that, and if they use alts to game votes (by upvoting themselves) the algorithm will get them.

Maybe you just have to level up to 10 and then you can block users who post content you don't like.

so we dont need to explain why retarded kikery is retarded because normies dont come to places like this.

You don't have to, but you can also call them out so other users and lurkers can see it. It's better than just simply downvoting it without a context/reason.

"Op can’t comprehend that on poal we don’t downvote something we disagree with. We instead reply with a counter-argument."

Unless it's something you disagree with or is an insult directed at you, then you nuke their accounts, brand them as kikes, and sometimes outright band them. The when called out on it, you post some faggy little gif from a shitty (((Hollywood))) movie, acting every bit like one of those soy-filled scrotum lickers that run reddit.

And if you get flak for that, your personal army of brown-nosers chimes in to make it seem like it's all about "muh imaginary internet points" instead of blatant reddit-tier powermodding faggotry.

So I guess the lesson of Poal is that "Downvotes aren't a disagreement button, but admins interfering with user accounts IS."

Bwahahahaha the voatfag committee has arrived, must really be a very slow night at fakevoat.

But....but..... what he said made me ANGRY and I don't HAVE a "counter argument" so I just downgoat him with 8 alts to show him that he's wrong.

That's pretty much what they are doing, but they don't always use alts. Instead, they are coordinating a downvote raid on specific users, thinking downvoting them will do anything (spoiler: ), and end up whining like little bitches when their votes get cancelled.

That's the true voatfag mentality right there.

Or you could just do what a certain kike loves to do is nuke their account and give them them a suspicious behavior tag as you cry out in pain.

We instead reply with a counter-argument.

To the outside observer, it would appear your claim is only somewhat true.

You either reply with a counter-argument, or ban someone. As time goes on, the latter seems to be becoming more frequent.

You are the master of your own environment. In a way, everyone gets what they deserve. Even the people banned, I suppose.

Don't forget that you also label accounts with a suspicious behavior tag for no reason and then don't reply to their messages when they ask you why it happened.

[–] 1 pt

Wait, logs say you've targeted specific users and mass-downvoted their comments/posts.

Now you can whine about it, saying you dindu nuffin.

If you behave like a normal user and not like a downvote fag, the flag will go (it's only temporary).

LOLZ didn’t I,aswell as many other “voat fags” get a massive downvote? Will op get a massive downvote when he criticizes an admins behaviour? Or posts 1 to many “concern trolls”.

What about stuff you agree with, do you upvote it then usually?

[–] 0 pt (edited )

Sometimes. Sometimes not. Not every post I agree with is worth upvoting. Some things are just shitposts or low-effort observations.

This place is low-traffic and honestly pretty cohesive overall so I don't see the same need to upvote things to help with visibility as there used to be on Reddit etc.

This place is low-traffic

Hmmmm

I don't see the same need to upvote things to help with visibility

I disagree there, I check new sometimes and upvotes stuff there. Users take time to post something, if it is good quality I upvote it.

What the hell could they do that would matter to me? Ban me? Bring it on.

So you aren't afraid of upvoting something and getting punished for wrongthink like they do on reddit?

I don’t think anyone cares if you upvote a good post. For some reason they don’t want you to downvote unless it’s “spam”. I think that’s stupid just have a way to report spam. Not as good as voat but getting better

"For some reason they don’t want you to downvote unless it’s “spam”."

And if you even do that "too much", you

"If you keep downvoting regardless if it's spam or not, your votes will eventually get cancelled.

We already have a report spam button for red barons (level30+) and they are doing a great job at helping reporting real spam."

Nope. Couldn't care less.

I just pretend I'm on Voat and hand out up or down votes like candy on Halloween.

As a personal rule I always upvote any comment thanking me for something.

I didn’t untill recently but be advised you ought to be. That said in regards to most posts not getting ups it’s just stingy behaviour I make a point to pay my respects to anything I find interesting or funny.

Well I am generous when giving out imaginary internet points.

Anyone afraid of this will also be afraid to comment here, so I’m not sure what you may get out of this. Other than a sweet badge.

Very true. Perhaps this is just to have people ask this question to themselves and ponder it.

I don’t vote on most things I comment on because internet points don’t matter and I usually forget
