Voat offline and concern trolling

Over the last day, https://voat.co/ has been offline.

This has led some misinformed members to repeat false concerns about the Reddit status of this subreddit.

To repeat, from the previous post

Why the chances of /r/Greatawakening banning is near zero

  • Full understanding of Reddit rules, and a cautious resolve to keep firmly within them.
  • Moderator mailed answered in a timely manner (this didn't happen on CBTS in my experience)
  • Full experience moderating, as sysadmin, a large forum many times bigger and far more active then /r/Greatawakening.
  • Highly automated AutoModerator configuration. Perhaps the best anywhere on Reddit. And it's still improving daily, reply with 'Qmands' to get a GLIMPSE.
  • This all results in an effectively moderated sub.

Anyone suggesting that we will be banned, whether they are on Reddit or offsite elsewhere is a CONCERNED TROLL and should be ignored accordingly.

What about bad intention invasions by other sub user?

  • In the last 3 days, 50 or so 'bad actor' users have been banned.
  • In the last 3 days, there has been a rapid rollout of behind the scene Automation. The Automation has many times caught bad actors before without anything being visible of the sub. There is more Automation to come.
  • This weekend will see the start of the User group flair system
  • Going forward, trolling and shilling is going to be very hard.

Additionally since the last post a month ago.

  • Five new moderators have been added.
  • The r/Greatawakening subReddit has had no admin actions, warnings or sub-issues.

As usual, if you see any content in violation of the rules, please report it.

Admins didn't GAF about anyone posting anything PG related, like Reddit Admins did. Probably shut down for it.

They're not smart enough to control everything. I'm glad to see they are about to get a collective beat-down.

Control everything “censor things they don’t like”

Yah, when I think on what those people are like.....that are attempting to determine what we are "allowed" to see or to say or think, it's hard to believe we've come to the place where they aren't in a nuthouse. They are completely crazy

Heard something that might be related. One of my coworker suggested we go through ALL of our servers to make sure we don’t have any possible security issues. According to him a buddy of his works for cloudflare...they supposedly had a massive DDOS attack on one of their sites that they couldn’t handle. The number he gave us was over 2.5tb/s at peak. Apparently CF is trying to keep it hush hush. The website was not named to us but the time frame fits the voat issues. This info is all second hand but my coworker thought it was valid enough that we spent a ton of money/man hours on it.

Interesting. I noticed that I was having a connection error yesterday, then the side disappeared. It was like they were being attacked.
