Anon subs are an example of a solid idea being abused. Just like chat. Just like old mod permission handling. Just like...

It's why we can't have nice things.

I still think they serve a purpose. Kinda.

What if every 10th anon post "randomly" wasn't anon and would reveal to poster?

Don't know if voat should be taking ANY suggestions from the Forum Slider-in-chief.

This is stupid, even by your usual standards. Really, really dumb. Planned random security failures?

Oh yeah, they do serve a purpose. I always thought having the option to post anon in a non-anon sub is nice. And if the sub owner is sick of it getting abused, he can just turn it off.

Now I'm blocking like one anon subverse every few weeks.

Strange how sometimes these soap box fag type 'change' posts or crybaby waaaa waaaa i want to change voat posts appear at Christmas time or times when most of voat is going to be doing vacation holiday stuff or trying to spend time with family... if voat is not truly broken then why wreck the current system to try 'fix it' or maybe pretend to fix and instead corrupt and rig it?... if one was being paranoid one might think voat is getting attacked by (((someone))) at certain times when nobody else is around to keep the roaches in check. I support the anon subs and I have lurked here on voat a long time before I signed up, I support a 4chan old school forum type anon site only because you or anyone can post whatever CIA, KGB, commie, fascist, Iraq WMD conspiracy, who killed JFK conspiracy without getting attacked or mocked or ridiculed, some people btw not just in communist countries or the shithole islamist middle east but Western places as close as Sweden, Germany, Canada and even California can see themselves in trouble and even lose work because of their political opinions. Basically whats happening to voat is a lot of shills are exposing themselves, not every White Western Man here is a White Western Man, not every Black is a Black not every Yellow Asia Man is a Yellow Asia Man... people shapeshift on the interwebz, it could be anyone Jew, mohammedan Arab. Also a certain group of people from both India and Vietnam are paid up to literally spam, hijack and attack the voat website. Another problem are probably the older soap box Bernie fag transexuals, these are reddit era fag jew niggers @middle_path who have done their best to subvert voat and make it more reddit like. and because you middle_path are part of the soap dox community and part of soap box open borders I would also have doubts about you.


I welcome everyone to check everyone else carefully, almost everyone has some kind of agenda but generally people come to voat for free speech. It has been noted that soap box ran some kind of spam game and voting farm mafia at voat, there was also an online dispute with the Q Boomers. I think what is generally happening in anon is the voat immune system is attacking itself, which ever shill group wins I guess has to chance to hijack voat but as long as voat's immune system works everything should be ok. I do not blame SBBH for everything I'm sure most are just jokers, losers, stoners however they have done shit here at voat and I also encourage people not to trust the soap box community, they are admitted spammers and shit posters. Anon seems to be fine, it just gets corrupted by nasties and its immune system is attacking itself. I think anons should be kept in check not blocked, and you do know you can block anon posts? You do know this guys?

It is also a potential venue for doxxing. I had some nutzi use it to call me a pedo once. Anon subs and downvoting are both things I could do without.

In terms of atmosphere there also needs to be greater emphasis placed on civility in interpersonal contact. Too many think 'free speech' coupled with internet anonymity is a license to act in the worst way possible. Actions that face to face might get a guy punched in the nose. I'm unimpressed with pleas to 'authentic' conversations when dudes act like cartoon characters.

I've seen very few internet communities have this as the norm. And those that are normally number under 30 active users.

Probably because like most everything on the internet there is anonymity or semi-anonymity. Doesn't mean Voat should be animal house.

I think the main use for the anon subs is for cowards with unpopular opinions to voice them. I personally think that’s stupid on Voat since there’s not only no censorship in the system subs, there is a strong ethos against it in other subs. So there is little to fear about voicing unpopular opinions. However, given the restrictions on using the site if your CCP is too low, there could be a legitimate fear, I suppose.

While the anon subs are certainly used for shilling and other silly purposes, I think it would be just as cowardly for Voat to get rid of them as it is for faggots to regular use them. If liberals and/or trolls want to play around on the anon subs, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to do so. If there really were a way to harass people not participating in the sub, I could see an issue, but as noted by @Native, you can now prevent being pinged if it gets to be too distracting.

And to echo your comment as ambivalent as I am on Q, keeping that sub Anon serves multiple benefits
