I ban people who are very obviously here out of hatred for this board, specific users or mods, and do nothing but harass others and shit on the forum. That and stuff that's illegal, as per the rules of win.
We have a relatively small user base. Imagine if we banned everything and everyone we disagree with, like other wins seem to do without hesitation. You might be interested to learn that people who concern themselves with conspiracy theories generally abhor petty censorship.
I don't agree with censoring people who are making posts in somewhat good faith, but may not align perfectly with my beliefs. People who do support that; I question their judgment.
Having said all that, perhaps a limit on daily submissions (only, not comments, nor time limits) posting could be something to trial. I'm not sure we mods are able to implement that though. I'll look into it.
Better than nothing. I wont be arbitrarily banning "suspected marginalizers" and I believe most genuine users would appreciate that, if they gave it some thought.
I hope nobody is asking you to act upon merely your suspicions and certainly hope that nobody has proposed banning people for disagreeing with you about something.
I, personally, would request the ban of egregious examples of hate speech and calls to violence as well as accounts that show a pattern of using deep politics as a pretext for expressing ethnic hatred. Since that behavior is a predictable tactic for enemies of this forum to use against us, coupled with the fact that such things are worthless in finding the truth (and not to mention completely off-topic), whether or not those views are "organic" or a deliberate attack is irrelevant.
I can tell by your upvotes that most people here agree.
Secondly, yes it might be frustrating to come here all hungry for meat but only get the bone. That is where your own expectations are harmful. You expect dopamine hit, but no dopamine found. You can correct that expectation, change it into something else. I particularly never found much engagement making posts, but a lot more luck making comments on posts.
But this post was passive aggressive, did you try asking him to chill out first?
I will say that he shares some good stuff, some things I've never seen anyone share which are interesting... but the "ayh" stuff, on top of the editorialized nature of his post titles, should be toned down a bit, because it's cringy sometimes.
Also, hi pkvi :) Must be weird to have everyone talking about you.
100% agree with OP here. Specially the ayh/ayhm dude is annoying as hell, I don't need to waste time trying to figure out some made-up words in every other post in the frontpage. I also can't trust someone who speaks in newspeak and pretends it's not part of the neocommunist subversion agenda.
Regardless of your intent with this post, it is completely unacceptable to dox a user.
What kind of hyper-focused TikTok era frontpage bullshit are you looking for? If someone is trying to contribute to the community, they should be able to do so. If it's low effort or irrelevant you can downvote it and move on. Isn't the entire point of this forum to be a place that encourages discussion and fact-finding?
Regarding the post you deleted; If you had a piece of a puzzle you could have posted it and asked for further resources to help you complete it. I am not encouraging blatant posting without factual evidence, but there is something to be said about collaboration that I think you are missing here.
Take your ayh, wrap it up into a neat little bundle so it looks like an I, and stick it up your ass. Then stop spamming the forum with 30 low effort threads every day.
Is there some filter we can use that blocks any thread with "ayh" n the title?
Yes, Block user.
You can just block the user, you know.
Eh, not really. You can find it other places like without having to wade through all of the bullshit. The moderators here allow too much forum spy bs.
Got any links to share?
Telegram. The www is dead and for normies.
We need Voat back
And you should stick around, block the user and move on. Most of us hate those people but out of curiosity which forums?
Do you prefer hard shell or soft shell tacos, and why?

The groups out to marginalize this forum will merely create another sockpuppet account to get around this.

That’s a great solution.
So after checking, I can't see an option for mods to do this. So I've made a post to meta about it, to get a discussion going:

Well, look...

There needs to be a way to block posts by mentally ill people who consistently spam.
