Given the fact that Toy4lov3rs used the address a year before you did, it's pretty damning.

Toy4lov3rs is one of my clueless IRL friends. The only IRL friend I know of that has an account on the forum, in fact (unfortunately). It's a shame that I feel I have to explain this. They know nothing of Bitcoin, and next to nothing about the forum. I got them to read about a dozen stickies, on a newly created account, but I don't remember the username of that account and it's probably still a 0-post newbie. They very seldom log into their account and have no interest in the forum.

They were wanting to apply for a campaign and told me they were confused. After I explained to them that they would be denied for the quality of their posts, they proceeded to use the template I provided as an example for their actual application, which had my address on it. If memory serves, I had created that address specifically while walking them through how to create an address on Core to replace the address within the "template". You call this benign situation "damning", as if there is a valid accusation somewhere in there. When in reality all that is here is Address Mismanagement and Miscommunication while walking a friend through a process.

Rmcdermott927 and Toy4lov3rs even spoke extensively and had further interaction off the forum. I'd feel more comfortable asking them if I can elaborate on that before doing so; That shouldn't even be necessary.

Toy4lov3rs is not my account, but I did go to high school with the owner.

If I was you, I really wouldn't push the issue as to why someone wouldn't want you on DT, unless you have an extremely good reason for the facts outlined above.

I don't feel like people should be walking on egg-shells around here when they have done nothing wrong. I don't know how to make it clearer, but I do not have a care in the world about being on DT. Nor do I understand why you're making these emboldened statements. I appreciate the suggestion, but it seems you misunderstand my intention.

I'm really truly not following you here. This sounds creepy in pretty much every scenario I can imagine. You can get dumped by a girlfriend/boyfriend or get fired from a job without an explanation and you'd have to move on. Or would you then go on to post revenge porn or bad online reviews in retaliation?

I don't know what kind of person one must be for a significant-other to leave you without explanation and this to be considered normal behavior. I've been let go from one job and they provided me with an explanation; the company lost a lot of clients and 80% of their workforce.

Now I'm the one not following you, so maybe we're just missing each other on this. I don't see the analogy between posting revenge porn and seeking an explanation on a course of self-improvement.

If I was fired from a workplace without reason I would certainly let my friends know not to apply there without acknowledging that and let my friends that work there know that they should seek alternative streams of income before they get the unexpected boot.

Maybe the bolded part is the problem, i.e. your assumption that this is against you. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

I'm not assuming it is against me, which is why I haven't drawn any conclusions without hearing from these users directly. Again, we are talking about principles and concepts, not my own personal feelings about my situation. This is another benign situation that I am unconcerned about. Assuming I'd like to provide disincentive to discourage unexplained simultaneous movement within the trust-network; what options are there outside an exclusion of those users?
