Well, I myself only created an escrow thread years after I started escrowing so the thread doesn't mean the start of escrowing. I could show other threads though. It might make sense at all since there were some highly trusted escrows in the past who created their accounts fast, leveled their trust up with scambusting and turned scammy after becoming escrows and had a lot of coins in escrow.
Hopefully no escrow serious escrow would ever sell his escrow account. If he would then the start of escrow for an account wouldn't be of use anymore.
That delay while creating the thread might really happen. That's why I'm gonna set (2) as weight for that criteria if it's inserted in the rating calculation (and if I'm convinced it's worth the task)...no more, no less...
Nevertheless I'm still thinking about it as there might be candidates with several threads spread around the forum and that's not good to keep track.
edit: scores updated again.
philipma1957 also joined the group!
P.s. PGP signed messages option changed in order to support staked address' signed messages possibility. The requirement for reputation thread has been "dismissed"...
I do take altcoins if we need to do that for a deal.
