Ok well there used to be a way to demote a sitelink, but interestingly Google just removed it 5 weeks ago. Another thing thats making me hate them right now. What the admins can still so is throw a noindex instruction for that specific page in the robots file and dump a new sitemap out. Will take a day or two to chug through the system but should do the job.
Yeah this is the type of rambling I was talking about. You know that there's a reason crop dusters fly really low, right? It's because if they flew at 30k feet their herbicide/fertilizer/whatever would just sort of float away in the wind. Spraying chemicals at high altitudes is possibly the least effective delivery method imaginable. Oh, also, you don't need to file a flight plan to fly. Students typically practice away from other air traffic and have no need for a flight plan since they're departing and landing at the same airport. Now stop making us look like a bunch of loons.
Maybe expose this as a google trick on twitter. I don't want to do this if others don't agree but it seems to me to make this a joke and a meme will neutralize it's damage.
Google will remove it within the week. When Gamergate hit, they did the same thing with 8chan. They removed the website itself from appearing on search result. Expect this to happen to voat, followed by a slew of articles claiming that no one should come here because it houses the "dregs of society that were banned from Reddit."
We need to enter WAR MENTALITY. Every single fuckery like this should be met with a disproportionate response. For example:
NYT CEO is Mark Thompson, former director of the BBC. In 2013 the Telegraph revealed Thompson lied when giving evidence about Jimmy Saville the predatory serial child rapist. In October 2014 the NYT published its infamous article "Pedophilia a Disorder Not a Crime". No wonder they're covering-up citizen journalism & systemic institutionalized child abuse. Henceforth the NYT shall be known to enable not only war crimes but also heinous crimes against children.
This nugget I found on reddit needs to become a meme. Help me. Post it and repost it, link it and share it everywhere.Or do your own. Or hack the shit out of them. This is war.
Listen jerkoff with an account made yesterday. We know what you are doing. Its not going to work. feel free to post your garbage anywhere you like though.
yea i had no clue on what to do about this other then making a post immediately and making sure you guys see it....i am still relatively new here. But learning quickly
Google will continue the fuckery and just put something else up to discredit us. This is normal for Voat. If you just search Voat it claims a pedo sub is THE top sub on Voat even though the link goes nowhere.
I think the best thing to do is upvote the comment that says
For all of those swooping in from Google's cooked search result...
Please do yourself a favor and read through the entire sub, and consider look into other #PizzaGate resources.
Bear in mind that this is a public, crowd-sourced affair - and that means there are going to be people touched in the head along with outright dis-info agents spamming forums like this.
That's the nature of freedom - it comes at the price of having to think for one's self. There are no more reliable curators of information anymore, let alone things of this kind.
instead of the current top comment that succinctly states
Best thing we can do is just ignore it. Don't downvote, don't comment, and it will quickly be lost among all the real evidence/leads/discussion. That is fucked up though that it's the top result...
The thread has -3 down votes and counting and yet finds its way to the top of Google. More attempts at sabotage, they are getting scared and damn well should be.
Honestly, it's really fun to see them get desperate. I like to watch them squirm and panic as they see their power melting away. We've just thrown the water on the wicked witch of the west.
Every single attack of them needs to become counter-productive. What they fear most is their names and personal information being distributed online attached to the suspected truth. Together we have the power of making the 50 first google search result's pages on any of their names about what we'd like.
NOTE TO SHILLS: If you continue this is what you'll get. The Streisand effect in full fucking force.
you got evidence for that if not its far more likely to be just the most optimal in the eye of the google bot which doesn't care about upvoats what so ever
the google bot cares a lot about how often a page is getting linked to.
it might be intentionally optimized but as far as i know no one presented any evidence for such a thing.
It's only obvious to those of us already familiar with the scandal, to everyone else this makes it look like we're on the same level as people rambling about chemtrails.
I think you might be thinking of the anti-semite thread. OP is talking about the "former comet employee" one. If you search the sub for it you can read it. It's downvoted and sounds like a troll post.
Yeah I already found it on voat, but I don't see it on the first page of google results as shown in my link.
And did you downvote me? Because I really don't understand why one would do this, I'm just trying to help figuring out whats going on.
I didn't downvote you I promise! People are just rude.
Not sure what's going on with it but maybe it's changed now that the mods archived/removed the post.
This is a tricky situation. We do not want to delete or remove ANY content unless it's CP. However, this is pure fuckery (proof) on the part of Google. We have archived the very likely shitpost,
Archieved, but not deleted and I think someone posted a pic of it after I tried to find it on google...
But
/u/Jugouptis
replied to me that they (google) personalize search results...
Could you
/u/Jugouptis
explain this? Who is getting personalized search results? Op who sees shitpost on top or I who doesn't?
(Users get notified if I link their username, don't they?) o.o

Strange, on mobile and from my country (not the US), the top search results seems normal.
No. 1 https://voat.co/v/pizzagate
No. 2 https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1434956
No. 3 https://voat.co/
No. 4 https://www.google.com/amp/www.inquisitr.com/3739424/pizzagate-hits-voat-shortly-after-being-banned-on-reddit-comet-ping-pong-nightmare-continues/amp/
When i first looked No. 2 was the top search result, but when i refreshed, it switched ti its current position.

can you configure the noindex characteristic of indidivual posts? If you can edit the html you can do it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noindex
This way either Google indexes it and the fuckery is proven or it doesn't and we've effectively countered their attack. Win-Win.

Well spotted. Have messaged mods.
▼ xbryn
Report it. Maybe the mods will delete it.
▼ Secus
This is not Reddit. Mods will not delete content to silence descent or difference in opinion.
Even if this is a completely false statement, the person making it has every right to do so.
▼ superAIDS
Agreed. Remember: the pedos are the ones deleting shit, not us.

They have been obvious for a long time. Never trust google use a different search engine instead.

how the hell did that thread become the first result on google? it makes the whole pizzagate look like ridiculous tin-foil stereotype

Because it's the first result on /v/pizzagate -hot ?

I think you might be thinking of the anti-semite thread. OP is talking about the "former comet employee" one. If you search the sub for it you can read it. It's downvoted and sounds like a troll post.

This doesn't even pop up on google for me. https://sli.mg/BOhbtN
And if you google voat pizzagate you see this strange post on top? proof?
▼ justiceforever
Try going to the sidebar in this sub, and type former comet employee. That'll slow you the thread I'm talking about :)

Yeah I already found it on voat, but I don't see it on the first page of google results as shown in my link. And did you downvote me? Because I really don't understand why one would do this, I'm just trying to help figuring out whats going on.
Does location maybe influence the google results?

So it could totally be that op only sees that silly post on top of his results because he browsed it before, right? Case closed then?

nope. we all see it.
