It looks like Poal is a better place, because they have security against shills. Anyway, the Voat shills do three things. They downvote, they spam demented drama, and they harass normal users. If Poal is genuine, I don't think these shills will be able to thrive here like on Voat.
Maybe? The news links and following discussion were quicker there, but maybe I need to subscribe to more subs.
While I'm relieved to not being downvoated, I think that they've possibly revealed a vulnerability. If the badge does nothing, then what stops legit spammers from staying?
On the flipside, if someone were flagged accidentally, they should have a way out.
So far, this is still better than saidit or ruqqus. Hell, as far as I know, poal was the only site to post on voat welcoming the ones not already migrated.
Only time will tell. PuttitOut said that he is part of this site. I am just awaiting for something to happen in order to see what is really going on here. Sites are owned by humans, and humans are not perfect usually.
