I think he is trying, in good faith, to get the Vote democracy system he is designing to let the users have more control over the content and users/mods. Maybe it will work, we'll see. But I don't see how that addresses the system operations of Voat on a day to day basis. That will require delegation of not only the responsibilities, but also the credit. I give credit to Putt for his philosophical efforts and the time he has given to get the site to this point but I think the project has grown to a critical junction. He created an alternative to Eddit when there wasn't one and deserves a lot of thanks for that. Also, Poal probably wouldn't have been created without the stimulus created by his problems. Poal will have its own tests and problems in the future as there are no perfect solutions. I think it's best to have multiple sites that allow "as free as possible" speech and will appreciate that instead of looking only at faults.
