Since the discussion of moderation of a thread is automatically off topic in threads outside of meta (citation needed), and also out of not wanting to derail my
other topic, I decided to create a divergence thread here regarding the issue of which section my thread belongs in.
Each person has their own philosophy on ponzis, but this is the scam accusation section. Unless you are claiming that Dooglus is directly involved in a ponzi that has already scammed people, this is the wrong section. I'd move the thread to reputation or something similar, but I'll leave it to you for a while to either make an accusation that would support this thread being in scam accusation, or move it.
First of all, it is my understanding that a theft does not actually need to occur in order to create a scam accusation, as you could accuse someone of
attempting to scam. A good example of this would be
this thread, which
technically discusses someone who never
actually scammed anyone, however I think that it is fairly obvious that person who attempt to scam others. So I think that requiring that a thread about dooglus to link him directly to something that has
already scammed is unfairly specific.
My claim is that dooglus is an accomplice to a scammer because he made a
tool that will help said scammer steal from others. Furthermore, the open source nature of his
tool makes it difficult to determine all of the ponzis that have used the script in question.
In your redirect post, you wrote that I could edit my OP to reflect a scam, and not just a questionable moral association.
Dooglus had mentioned that he knew that the name of the operator of the ponzi he was helping as being "Kyle"
The only reason I was even looking at the script was because Klye was having problems with it. As I understood it, he was marketing his Ponzi truthfully and not attempting to steal anything from anyone. From what I've heard nobody other than Klye himself ended up out of pocket from using that script.
Kyle is also the name of
MRKLYE, who gambled away 25
BTC of other people's money that was intended to be some kind of investment (
source), and this money was gambled at Just-Dice, which means that dooglus profited from these losses.
I could update my post to reflect that I believe that dooglus was helping a known scammer develop a tool whose only use would be to eventually steal money from others. This would further solidify my thread being a scam accusation, however I believe my thread already meets the criteria to be in the scam accusations sub.
I also could update my OP to reflect that I believe that dooglus has contributed to an unknown amount of losses/thefts by others, however I think this would be somewhat redundant.
It is the forum policy to not moderate scams, which includes not deciding what is and what is not a scam. I would argue that the question of is something a claim of being a scam should be left up to the OP of the thread, unless it is very clear that there is no such claim.
