If you wish to do something yourself to help this site, feel free to join the fight over at /s/ShillWall (the sub will be finished, and a detailed post will be made, later today or tomorrow)

Oh boy it's Protect Voat 2.0. Nothing ever changes. No thanks.

Would you rather have the shills go unopposed and ruin this site for the rest of us? No thanks.

You are, clearly, no better. You will only succeed in becoming the problem. This is not a new thing. It happened before Voat was totally lost as well, and became a harassment sub for people to engage in downvote brigading, spamming, etc. In trying to be virtuous and control others all you will succeed in doing is becoming that which you hate.

Go back to reddit then.

The difference here is that there is no downvoting on saidit.
Thus, there is no way to "downvote brigade".

Also, for "spamming", there will be clear rules to prevent that - and if people do not follow those rules, it's up to the moderators of specific communities to ban those people, like I know I will do.

The purpose of this community is to call out shills, and upvote a single post detailing why the thread seems to be made by a shill, and which internet forum subversion tactics were already used by the alleged shill.
I see no reason why a single comment chain would become "spam", especially if it can only be visible if enough people agree with it and upvote it.

How, exactly, do you propose to identify "shills"? You're using identical language to other places claiming to devote to doing the same thing. How can I impress upon you that you're doing nothing different from all the witch hunts seeking to do the exact same thing? This is like Groundhog Day for me. I've had this exact same argument in this exact same situation 3-4 times now. Jesus Christ.

I'm afraid arguing with you is a waste of time, as you're clearly trying to promote a per-existing conclusion (or agenda, be that as it may) rather than actually argue why the solution wont work (which you cannot do, because resisting shills is objectively better for any site than leaving them unchecked).

Hope whoever sees this meaningless discussion comes over /s/ShillWall for some resources on how to identify shills, and information regarding what they can do to help saidit.
