Blank message = A mod of a subverse removed your post or comment. Those messages should now display properly.

Using HTML tags in comments collapses the comment.     (TalkDev)
submitted by bobdole9 to TalkDev 3 years ago (+4/-0)

Tried to put "</sarcasm>" in a post and the post was blank / empty / collapsed.

Going to add some comments in this thread to see what I can break.

Edit: each of the four comments has some combination of the bogus "</sarcasm>" tag with single quotes, double quotes, spaces with quotes inside.

Maybe I should stop being an ass and using html in my comments. Feel like there is a PHP function to fix this.

Extra edit: the text I enter here display in my comment replies inbox. Yay PHP!

Triple edit: just clicked the "formatting help" link and looks like code = using single quote as a shortcode.

Don't know what they're called, but the [code][/code] type shortcode tags may work better?

Noticed in the linked post. To reproduce: Click to view first image link in comments, then click image link in later comment. 2nd comment's image will replace the 1st one.

Edit: Well, that's interesting, can no longer reproduce issue...

Really, makes no sense to even try and post something though provoking with teh type of editor formatting that you are using.

Why not get something simple, yaml / wiki based maybe?

Look at my deleted posts prior to this...

Free speech is limited, the incitement to violence that exists on voat is illegal     (VoatlandSecurityAdvisorySystem)
submitted by oppressed to VoatlandSecurityAdvisorySystem 3 years ago (+2/-13)
26 comments last comment...
Speaking words such as "gas the kikes" could be crimes that could put you in prison.

Incitement to violence, including incitement to racial violence, is not protected by the First Amendment. This is a very narrow exception; mere advocacy of violence cannot be made criminal “except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”

This is the point: Since society thinks you're an evil supremacist, it will define your violent words as "advocacy directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and likely to incite or produce such action" an convict you.

For incitement to violence, the three elements must be met: (1) the speaker must intend to cause violence, (2) he or she must intend that the violence occur immediately, and (3) the violence must be likely to occur immediately.

An antiracist jury could convict some goats with this definition.

That's why I advocate for System to moderate against illegal speech on voat.

More info on free speech:

The distinction between incitement and “hate speech” is illustrated by the Supreme Court’s decision in Wisconsin v. Mitchell. In that case, several young Black men were discussing the movie Mississippi Burning, which is about the Civil Rights Movement. One of the men said, “Do you all feel hyped up to move on some white people?” and, when a young white boy approached, said, “You all want to fuck somebody up? There goes a white boy; go get him.” The group then assaulted the boy, and the speaker was charged with assault, plus a hate crime enhancement. Was Mr. Mitchell’s speech “hate speech”? It’s arguable. But his speech was much more than the mere expression of opinion; it was a call to immediate violence.

Harassment is distinct from “hate speech” because it goes beyond mere expression of opinion and targets a particular person for harm. The threshold for speech rising to the level of illegal harassment is generally quite high. Anti-harassment laws often refer to speech directed at a particular person, based on the victim’s race, religion, or other group characteristic, and which has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with, for example, a student’s educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.

These exceptions to the protections of the First Amendment are very narrow, but they are well established. Civil libertarians and supporters of free expression–including protest, writing and art–can and should support the right to express hateful opinions, but can draw a clear line that no one has a right to incite a riot or to harass another person.

Regarding the posts denigrating postwallhelena     (ProtectTalk)
submitted by Yargiyankooli to ProtectTalk 3 years ago (+20/-5)
70 comments last comment...
This is some weird Jewish tactic where they are demonizing our people by posting disgusting things about them, pictures, etc. It is just a way to get degeneracy on the site by acting as of they were "one of us". I am sure the majority of you know this but considering we are trying to take action against this pozzed affront on voat, I figured I would post about it.

No I am not white knighting, I am just calling out another source of degeneracy on the site.

PS. I know I still owe you a (((covid))) argument postwall, but I am too busy now to sit down and do it for real.

PPS. We also need to stop communicating with these fucking anon posts. Either tell them they are faggots or ignore.

Hello people,


The reason why I am here, is because I also love VOAT but also hate it and I would like to see it grow and improve.

Sadly, other than make shit memes, waste hours in filing shit, cropping vids...I am not a developer. And I am really hoping that the owners, or someone with a passion will actually improve this place.

Remember, every time big tech censors, WE WIN! VOAT wins. We all crave a place that is clean from leftoids, fags and niggers, and our grandfathers did more to escape them than just build a reddit clone.

SO...lets get started shall we?

1)

"Discuss"
What the fuck does this button do? Does it take me to some kind of chat? Where I can discuss? Oh..ok, it is actually the submit button."COol...let me share this link of Zelensky arresting his own people to exchange with Russians" oh wait...this is a text only! How do I share a link? I cant change the option now..Should had chosen the "share link" button.

So, there should be a single Submit button there, either "Submit" or an Icon, that then allows you to quickly and easily switch between link post, text post or whatever post.


2)Forgot password
Where do I reset my password if I've forgotten it?

https://pic8.co/a/62abf690-f2ba-4764-95b6-ea17837f087e

and why is there no register button there as well? A large percentage of people accidentally type in sign in when they actually want to register a new account, not just idiots, but people that are being confused by a bad interface or are flooded with too many buttons and information.

3) Mobile interface.

This is what VOAT looks like
https://pic8.co/d/9beeeda3-c4ee-4478-bccf-5d497fc8ca2f.jpg

This is what POAL looks like
https://pic8.co/d/080314d5-3866-480c-a909-cc04b12478f0.jpg

Look at how much better POAL looks like.

You got the subverse on top, and the creaton on the top right, that stands out easily.
On VOAT you got all of this bullshit that you probably wont even read because it is too confusing.
"submitted by ExRedditor to whatever 3 hours ago"
Takes too much space, confuses, looks ugly.

The upvotes seem to take too much space too on VOAT.



You can have
An image/ video button which allows you to view the link/image/ video.
A comment button which takes you to the comments session.
A save , hide, report button.

4) Looks at this shit...seriously..

This is what happens when you click on submit on mobile
https://pic8.co/d/68bfd231-2a4b-4765-b369-c453396387d0.jpg

and this is where the submit post is, can you fucking spot it?
https://pic8.co/d/f2ebf458-152b-4126-8d96-d6de0bef58ce.jpg


5) File sharing
Above anything, this is a file sharing site. We need to easily upload pictures and vids.

the submit link option, desperately needs


An "IMAGE" button which takes you to PIC8 or some PIC8 clone.
A "video" button that takes you to VID8 or a VID8 clone.


6) Branding.
Its been almost a year and the VOAT brand is still alive. Can you remind me again why we cant have VOAT anymore? Is it because the previous owner that pulled the plug out of the blue is being a faggot?

7)Why cant I click on the picture?

If I click here....nothing happens

https://pic8.co/sh/vd4ECN.jpg



Edit:

It took me a year to realise that these two take me the posts I have downvoted and posts I have upvoted...cool feature, but how the fuck are new users supposed to know that?

Seems to do it more when following an external link from here then hitting the back button on the browser, dont know if its coincidental that stopping the connection then just straight up going back to /new from the address bar seems to fix it or if its just short bursts of errors.

INTERMITTENT not intermediate.

So with files.catbox already apparently broken for aussies and people too fucking lazy to change twatter links to actually useful nitter.net links i have an idea -

Is it possible to put somewhere in settings something like redirect rules filters whatever so that we can set an automatic redirect for certain links so for instance it when we hit a twitter link it replaces it with the corresponding nitter.net links. Obviously would not work for sites that use dissimilar alternative URLs

When you are in the voat global chat room and use the inbox icon there is a bug at times. Cant recall but I think it triggers solely or more frequently when you have an inbox notice. (When the red envelope is displayed.)
Instead of going to your inbox you are sent to the talk homepage. Talk wont have you logged in by default either not that I use the talk side.
I never really brought up the bug despite it being around forever.
I dont know why it happens some times and not others.
