its important in situations like these to take the high road, as in not banning them. They are cancerous to communities, but they will be drowned out by downvoats. or upvoats if people agree. thats simply free speech.

Stop? Like ban? Cause I am against that. We have to be the better people here. As stupid and foolhardy that is, we shouldn't stoop to that level.
But letting them have any say in how the site works? I agree, we have seen what happens when those people get a say in how sites are run.

The shills are really starting to go gangbusters.

/v/shitvoatsays isn't a brigade subverse and was created with the explicit reason to take away the name for any brigade that would form on Voat – it's a Best of Voat instead.
There were attempts at actual brigade subverses, but all of them I've seen were unsuccessful due to inactivity and voting restrictions before the huge influx.

Have you seen /v/shitvoaterssay ?
If the "current users"/"subscribers" count has been fixed since the recent server migration, then that still only has 200 people. That is a fairly small amount of people, and in the case of anyone trying to brigade, Voat lets you block individual users as easily as it lets you block subreddits.

when you don't like a subverse you can always unsubscribe and block it

That won't stop people from coming over to the verses you do visit.
Question is, do you want to censor others to prevent being censored?

He's more worried about those times when an unpleasant subverse focuses its attention on one of the subverses he is subscribed to, and those users spam comments where they're not welcome.
