Banned from the "free speech" site Poal

Poal was created by some ex-goats when Voat was in trouble a couple of years back. It is effectively a Voat clone. There has been some debate on Voat about the extent to which Poal is truly "free speech".

Banned from the "free speech" site Poal

Post by chrimony »

No idea why. I haven't posted there or voted on anything ever since the April Fool's joke of randomized user names persisted for several days. I would only occasionally login to lookup something I had commented on. When I tried to login recently, said it was an invalid username/password and put up a captcha, which does nothing. I never broke any rules, except the unwritten one that you cannot criticize the stupid policies of AOU.

But there is this story, which I was going to log in to Poal to read when I noticed I was banned:

"Punished by AOU for upvoting users they don't like - then blaming it on the "algorithm""

You got banned for being an insecure, vote-manipulating faggot.

How's that alt working out for you?

Hey that sounds like AOU, it works great for him, people still use his site despite him being a well documented faggot. The best part is when AOU accuses people of using alts when he can't actually track that if someone uses something as advanced as a vpn.

Lulz, projecting as usual. You're just mad that your vote manipulation of my reputation here backfired.

Being banned from a site I didn't even use anymore, because the head admin is an immature, thin-skinned censorious bastard with stupid policies? Just fine.
