Agree but they still found a way around it. Let's face it if they weren't here we might think we were losing. The more they shill the more we know we are winning :)
Man TBH, I don't agree with this. I was on TDW since it started, but here on TGAW I rarely post or comment, even though i been lurking here since it first became part of the .win family.
But what if I suddenly come across some mind-blowing info i need to share with anons? I don't want the mission to seek out and disseminate the truth to be hindered all because I didn't do enough commenting to earn the karma.
I understand totally but to have a board that is free from all idiots would it not be just a board like what the left is doing shutting down everyone who has a different opinion than yours, I have saw lots of people come over here and take a second look. I didn't like VOAT for that reason, but was a lurker with no voice because of that. When I found this site VOAT was on its way out, I came here 2 weeks before VOAT went down. Also don't I remember someone who said we would have to be there to let them know what is happening? Just my 3c
I just did 2 simple scripts in the past 48 hours that the remainder of my team ignored for the past year. Sometimes a few lines of simple code is more than someone feels like working on. The devs here do a stellar job considering this is ad free and supports the users it does.
Just deport the baddies kek. Don’t even let them gain karma. This ain’t CCP China. Don’t need social credit system.
There needs to be a real world cost associated with actions to deter sybil attacks. Without a proof of work or cost there is no repercussion. Vigilance can work, but it's pretty fragile and won't scale to larger communities. Once the network of participants is large enough, they can't reasonably purge sleepers without fracturing the group. E.G. TDW.
Basically we need to use a blockchain that can support micropayments (fractions of a cent) and stable enough to use as the backbone for an app where all actions have a cost. The cost can be small enough that legit users wouldn't really notice, but people spamming or handshaking would add up quickly enough to be a barrier.
People are used to things being free though, it'll take time for that to take hold.
You can do all sorts of things from a platform perspective on top of the correct blockchain to discourage bad actors. The real problem is that the market hasn't chosen the blockchain yet, so we can't really do it effectively. It has to be a commodity ledger where the access isn't subsidized like the attempts so far have been. It isn't really commodified if the issuance is dictated by some central organization (company, foundation, cartel, etc). It'll have to be bitcoin or one of it's forks since the issuance isn't controlled (i.e. miners can come and go).
Would Soros and people like him care? Not as things currently stand, but under the right future conditions they definitely would have to.
You guys rock!

Thank you MODs.
They likely spend taxpayer money that went thru the corrupt kickback deep state system! SAD
Rent free. Same as it ever was.
KEK
^^^!
Say 10,000 Trump Mary’s and be absolved of your sins
Not 10,000 Ivanka Trumps?
Its a form of forcing complacency. Ignore it, or stop using the platform.
I thought it seemed quite a bit quieter this week.
Awesome thank you! I'm sure the hoards of trolls and shills are exhausting!

Perhaps, but it's still way more difficult to hammer a forum when EVERY NEW ACCOUNT must spend 1-2 weeks making CONTRIBUTIONS....
True.
It is a tough and unappreciated job, but trust me, a lot of us appreciate it!
<sigh>
Would that mean that I wouldn't be able to post? My comment karma is pretty embarrassing tbh.
IMHO, even a requirement of 2000 karma is enough to discourage 90% of shenanigans, without any mod intervention
that's how voat worked - took a more dedicated shill to hang in there and build up karma so could start shilling
sooo.... Censor them until you approve??? I don't think so.

Have to agree
Go to china where u can have ur social credit system ya commie fags
Is there a way we can make them have to build up "karma" before they are even allowed to comment? Haha
Personnaly, I'd leave many stupid comments in, allowing them to be downvoated to oblivion for all to see.
You gonna code it? ?

itsn't that VOAT?
Would prefer not banning but a ip quarantine. Let them get rerouted to their own echo chamber. It should slow them down.
Reddit has this in most popular communities as well.

Yeah I think that is well said. The simple solution is the right one, and for now that is enabling the mods to do their work as best they can.
