If this website is another reaction to reddit, you're only going to attract the absolute dregs of that site — /r/fatpeoplehate, the pedophiles, the gamergaters, etc.

If someone creates a Frizbee server full of child abuse material, and it becomes popular, and is always on the front page, what would you do?

Also, I made a comment on Frizbee that consisted of `[wow](file:///etc/passwd)`, and it let me post it. You probably want to whitelist a few schemes.

Did you just put gamer gaters in the same group as pedophiles?
You're right, gamergaters aren't as bad as pedophiles, my post implies that they are and I apologise.
Child abuse and pedophilia is straight-out illegal and can not be hosted on voat.co.
I wonder why this thread on /r/legaladvice exists, then: http://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/3avuxs/really_w...
what does [wow](file:///etc/passwd) do?
"wow" will appear as a link with a URL pointing to the file on your local disk /etc/passwd. In UNIX/Linux /etc/passwd is a plaintext file used to list users accounts. In the old days it would store their password, too.

ah... I didn't recognize it as markdown.
