Resolved Cannot upvote any post

[RESOLVED]

I have just registered (had old account but never really used that one). Every time I try to upvote some post, backend returns an error. For example on https://poal.co/do/vote/245214/up I am getting 400 BAD REQUEST with body {"msg":"Nope"}. I tried whitelisting this site in all my privacy extensions, but the problem persists.

Firefox 84.0.1 on Linux.

Edit: At least posting works.

Edit2: Uvoting is working for me now (~ after 40m), so I guess it was either some intermittent server issue, or I got "approved" by some algo because of this post or the one upvote I got on this post (don't really know details about how poal works). Unfortunately I have no idea how to tag this as resolved, so I'll add a note at the beginning of the post.

It's an anti vote-gaming feature to prevent spammer from using alts to artificially upvote their spam and your account behavior triggered it.

If you are a real user, posting/commenting will automatically whitelist you. You should already be able to use votes (just checked and you did).

Thank you for explanation. Everything so far looks to be working :).

Not able to vote here

I'm more of a lurker than a poster, I'm assuming that's why

Yeah, that's normal, just be a little more active and it will unlock itself.

Welcome aboard!

I also cannot vote. I don't have alts.

Don’t post false report. You know you can vote.

Still with the games? I just upvoted your comment.

Oh shit dude... That means you are gay. That's not an upvoat button. It is a 'gay test' button. Sorry bro.

Are you attempting to use the API?

[–] • 0 pt

No, just clicking on an upvote arrow in browser.

Edit: Upvoting of comments seems to work.

I'm merely commenting here in the hopes that the action unlocks my ability to Upvote.

I've been here since Voat closed and just realized I cannot Upvote. I've got 1 Upvote (not sure how) and 1 deleted comment. The deleted comment was a duplicate post so I deleted it.

I am real... I think.
