I'll admit, what I did was probably wrong.

Why?

The first thing I did was to create a subverse, too. Also one that also exists on reddit. I didn’t have any bad intentions in doing so, I just wanted to bring a topic of my interest over to Voat.

I don’t think a CCP minimum would stop anyone with not-so-great intentions from doing what they do. It would only discourage new users who mean well. There already are rules that you have to keep your subverse active (by posting submissions and comments, if I remember correctly), so an inactive user wouldn’t keep their subverses for long.

I think it might be a better idea to have a general (and low) limit on how many subverses a user can create/moderate. Maybe just one or two for someone with no/very few CCP, more for people with a higher CCP. As long as it stays reasonably low. If people really have to think about which subverses they want to moderate, that’s probably better for the content quality than just tying it to a CCP requirement.

I like your idea more. Limiting the number of subverses would limit "subverse squatting" (akin to domain squatting) and weed out unmoderated subverses.

I too created a subverse that exists on Reddit. But it is niche and likely won't have many subscribers. No bad intentions, I just wanted it to be available for when more people make the jump.

I like your ideas about subverse limits.

This is a great idea. Keeping the ability to create a subverse for new users while giving them incentive to grow and be a part of the community if they wish to mod/create more subverses.

A tiered moderation system seems intelligent. I think your proposed implementation is probably the best method of implementing such a system. Well thought out! It would encourage people to post about that which they most care about, and in turn improve the quality of content on Voat! I'd give you a Voat platinum, if such a thing existed.

Thanks!

I'd give you a Voat platinum, if such a thing existed.
