I notice that many of you have commented (because you can barely do anything else) asking why you don't have CCP (Comment Contribution Points). So I want to explain because I feel bad that this wasn't brought to your attention earlier.

Voat limits all new accounts for reasons of SPAM. To unlock your account you must earn CCP by commenting and having others upvote your contributions. It is orders more difficult for a botnet to unlock accounts with this requirement in place and is why we use this particular method.

For example: You need 10 CCP to make a submission or send a message. You need 100 CCP to unlock downvoat capabilities.

The reason you don't have any CCP is because the moderator(s) set a particular subverse property that prevents the earning of points in v/theawakening.

This subverse property is called: Minimum CCP required to downvote and when it is set to anything but zero three things happen (which are documented in the subverse settings. This information is also displayed in the sidebar so you can see what subverses have set what values):

1. It prevents users who don't have at least X CCP in the subverse itself from downvoating content in that subverse.
2. It prevents all submissions from showing up in v/all (basically making the subverse private).
3. It prevents contribution points from accruing (This is an anti-farming measure).

No one has earned points in v/theawakening since this setting was set to 5.

I hope this helps you understand why.

Edit 5:

This post has been stickied again because people still have questions. This will be the last day of this sticky, I promise.

Edit 4:

Read #3 first. So here is my argument: They aren't super web savvy and reddit/voat layout is not that bad of a tool for what they are doing. They were directed to an image board. You all know that's a big jump coming from Reddit. The natural place is here. It's your call Voat always has been and always will be, but maybe we could learn a bit from them, and them us. Think about it.

Edit 3:

I'm just going to say that the back and forth I've had tonight with subscribers of v/theawakening have been the most pleasurable I've had on Voat. (Maybe I have low standards or you're just good people). I'm voting to keep them. Can we Voat? You owe me this one! ;)

Edit 2:

As @MAGAKAG2020Q mentions below and is important to note: This setting can not be instantly switched. It is on a time delay of 48 hours.

Good morning guys,

Quick update:

• We have raised funding for Voat to continue its operations.
• TD on Reddit is private for now, admins seem to be picking which mods they can control.
• ThePedes is a landing pad for TD'ers. Remember, Voat has grown from Coontowners and they think the most important thing is to say things like 'gas the kikes'. Leave them be, it's just speech. Meanwhile, we can use this place to figure out our next steps.
• We hit the jackpot with u/75000_Tokkul on Reddit. He went ballistic after being called out. Let's assume he's close with admins.
• It doesn't take much to figure out the motives from v/TheDonald's powermods (itself a copy of our The_Donald). They want to control the pedes.

Suggested action:

• Have patience with the voaters. They're not used to us. For now it's just important to have somewhere to share information. They're not wrong that European culture is pretty much the only real civilization this world has, it just comes out in a way we are not used to and they think we are here to take away their right to say it. That's not the case, we just want a place for our culture to survive.
• The shills on Reddit are trying to take over the narrative. Make sure you counter it as much as you can.
• Make complaints to Advance Publications and everyone else involved with Reddit. Make sure they know they're playing with fire.

Stay tuned. MAGA.
