I've seen older users give these new guys tips on how to increase their CCP ('comment in rising posts', 'comment in niche subs desperate for content', etc.). That's some bullshit right there. These guys need to EARN IT like the rest of us did.
Anyway, some of them will turn out to be assholes so we'll just have to try to keep them in check. Call them out on their tactics, etc..
On the other hand we will also have some cool and interesting new people to hang out with too so we gotta sniff out the goods ones too and encourage them.
Honestly, this is part of what pisses me off. I TRIED to be welcoming to the new guys. And now I'm portrayed as an asshole because they've made total dicks of them selves and I have the temerity to say "Hey You're being a dick spilling drinks all over my carpet and putting out smokes on the end table". I won't make this mistake again. It's not even that hard to figure out, so figure it out yourselves next time refugees.
It's a no-win situation. Try to be nice and they think they own the place already. Warn them not to use voat for their reddit-like bullshit and you're told to fuck off.
This latest influx has the shittiest people ever (between pizzagate and the_donald peeps). I never thought I'd think this but the people from Niggers, Coontown, and FPH (subs I don't jive with at all) have been delightful voat companions over the last year compared to these assholes of only 2 days.
Honestly posting in niche subs is a very positive thing. Voat's greatest weakness is our lack of depth in niche subs compared to behemoths like Reddit. Sure, we're great in the default subs and a few niche ones, but we need more diversity than just /v/politics, /v/news, etc.

We definitely need content in niche subs. But posting to them just to get easy internet points is dishonest and ugly.
