@Runway22L, it was a bot attack. Voat was getting up to 1 million requests a minute. Putt had to shut things down for awhile.
We regrouped on preview voat, Putt jumped into chat and let us know what was going on.
Yes Cars, you are correct, that is exactly what the privilege check is.
Edit; this isn't a failsafe, and it can be very buggy. But it's something.

Wow, a whole other voat. Crazy man.

We use it for testing new features for bugs before Putt rolls them out to real voat. Many shenanigans have been had there.

Thanks very much for that.
