My knee jerk reaction to it is to ban them all but it feels a bit wrong but at the same time, they are so overtly racist, its pretty disgusting. Theres one guy who has been the worst offender, @pandabill who basically spends all of his time shit posting overtly racist stuff /v/news and /v/videos but the way hes been going at it has been pretty damn clever.

He first played off, what I call the "gray area" racism where its racist but not overt nor violent. He gathered over 2000 CCP through that and now that hes got his CCP cushion, hes starting to post the material he really wanted, straight up Nazi stuff and in his comments, hes starting to post veiled threats, some genocidal stuff and telling people to kill themselves. Obviously that shit is being downvoted into oblivion but because hes got that 2000 CCP cushion, he can keep posting with impunity because theres no way that 2000 is going to turn into -50 any time soon.

The mods cant/wont ban him and his buddies (there are a few) because they are too afraid to be called out for "censoring" but honestly, its a bit saddening to me to go to /v/news and /v/videos and just see his shit plastered all over the place. I dont mind free speech but there has to be a point where people say "You know what, posting that we should kill X people or "glass the planet and start over" and posting links to Nazi websites is Not ok".

Theres also the point that Voat wont attract normal people if all thats on the big subverses is blatent racism and overt hate/threats. I was under the impression that those things can exist but in their respective subverses where I can just block it and not see it. When it is being purposely spammed into the 2 big and neutral subvsers like /v/news and /v/videos, I dont want to block those because those are the 2 verses where I get 90% of my Voat content from. Blocking them is basically blocking Voat and Id rather just not visit Voat if thats the case.

What do you think PV?
