User Moderation Policy Explained
As a community we need to commit to self-moderate. Trolls and shitposters often take advantage of the free speech environment afforded by minimal moderation to brigade us with troll attempts and shitposts. Harassing with shitpost brigades was (and is) one of the techniques employed by SRS on that other site. Our policy is not to delete these posts or ban these users, so we need the rest of the users to use their votes. Trolls will get tired if the only response they receive in here is downvotes. So sort by "New" and downvote all the troll and shitpost threads, then sort by "Hot" to browse the sub. Important threads will always be stickied
Adspam, Copypasta (duplicate posts and/or duplicate comments within the same thread), Dox, and Porn (exposed breasts/genitalia/anus/explicit sex acts) will be removed by the mod team. We will also remove posts that hijack web browsers in any way.
What is a "Concern Troll?"
Standard Answer for Concern Trolls
This sub is for documenting the attempts to drag Voat down into the mud by various censorship, advertising or shilling groups. One of our main goals is preventing the spread of PC-Driven Censorship to Voat. We watched self-righteous elitist powermods destroy the free speech environment that once existed on reddit. We will not allow that to happen to Voat.
The primary way to defend our free speech platform is to confront censorship when we see it.
If you feel you have been the victim of censorship, try PMing the mod to see if it was a misunderstanding of some kind. If this does not work, make a thread in here. Provide a link to the thread or relevant modlog. Ping the offending mod in a comment stating the issue. We will do everything we can to resolve the issue.
Use archive.is to screen-cap threads.

I think their SSL cert expired.
[–] IiIIy [S] 1 point 7 points 8 points (+8|-1) ago (edited ago)
The cert would say it expired then.
Instead the cert being served doesn't even list their domain name, and is not expired / timed out.

Likely what happened, atko did the same thing once probably not a big deal.

Well, I seems like it's fine now for me.
Strange to have a hickup like that.
I could try and look up DNS record history see if the IP# changed and DNS was slow to propagate.. or not.. might be nothing.
I guess just keep an eye out for fuckery..

Working for me.

This archive has 403 - Forbidden..

..next hour:
http://archive.is/Sjuyi (fixxd)
Probably caught some hosting fuckery going on, so many layers now with colocation (cloudflare) DNS based load balancing, shared hosting..
..or, mebby caught hax slippin up, no telling without more research.. Meh. I'll just use one of the other IP farming image hosts for a bit. Wish imgjar had upload via URL.

I upgraded to the pro plan from the free plan last night, and I didn't realize the ssl cert that comes with it was changed as well. It took a few hours for the new cert to start working

Yes, but it isn't THAT important. It's still safer than http links. And it's an image hoster after all, not some site you'd send sensitive information to.

I'm getting the same warning.
[–] IiIIy [S] 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago (edited ago)
Domain isn't listed in the approved domains of the certs list.
Archive of imgTC.com = 403 (forbidden)
Maybe doing some maintenance? or hax..
[–] Warhymn 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
yes
[–] IiIIy [S] 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
can you ping imgtc.com see what IP you got?
[–] ToTheMoonAlice 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)

Cert looks fine - you might be victims of a DNS spoof.

I had to disable cloudflare while the ssl cert wasn't working. 50.7.103.59 is the ip address of my vps with fdcservers. the nameservers are normally ns1/2.imgtc.net, now they've returned to the cloudflare nameservers since its working again
[–] IiIIy [S] 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
My apparent IP for imgtc.com: 50.7.103.59

[–] o0shad0o ago
