Before, only the search feature for individual subs/subverses (/s/[subname]/subsearch or poal.co/s/[subname]/posts_search/[query]) required login. But now, the normal search feature does too.
This is also a kiked trend (see Instagram, which now demands logging in to view anything).
When Voat.co went down, SearchVoat kept the history. But who will archive Poal.co once it starts circling the drain?
As a side note, SearchVoat.co is by far functionally superior compared to Poal.co's search feature. Sophisticated filtering by date, user, etc., and even comment search, various output formats, while Poal.co just has simple title search.
Poal.co wants donations. But how are donors supposed to know whether and how long the site will stay loyal and true to its proclaimed purpose? Because since February 8, 2021, it has increasingly failed to do so, even though it started out promising.
AOU's persistent ad-hominem attacks (i.e. "whining") rather than reasoning were already a warning sign of poor administratorship for some time. But another shady observation that adds to it is that users are accused with variations of "ban evasion", which is another concept/buzzword invented by kike sites to shut down criticism, as it is not verifiable from outside. It is the same kind of stuff that Reddit and Wikipedia do, to evade having to handle criticism.
From this thread (archive):
Quick-fingers wrote:He was also accused by AOU [...] of using alts, which he provided no evidence for. In fact Tallest called out others for using similarly spelled names. Plus the misspelled ones didn't reply the way he did, with long ass paragraphs. So there's more evidence against Tallest using alts than there is for it.
AOU wrote: Oy Vey, Shlomo! Why are you using an alt to kvetch? Too scared to use your original account?
And AOU's highly intellectual and logical response?Quick-fingers wrote: On the plus side I can now confirm you are 100% a liar as I have never made a poal account before.
If Poal.co is a solution to anything, I want the problem back.AOU wrote: Bwahahahahahaha niggah plz.
