That could be true but it does not mean over all it is net positive. You have to take into account the innocent accounts destroyed in this and the fall out from that ie the forum is getting a hostile environment and it will only get worse while persons are using red tags for anything other than scams or direct scammers. The possible implications for free speech.
nobody is violating your rights of free speech just because you got a red tag,
you are doing more speech than most other members.
joining signature campaign or trading on the forum is what the negative tags you got " which i again say that you shouldn't get" - affects you most.
This again is not a sensible argument.
Do you claim getting red trust is an encouraging thing ? or perhaps useful to a new person using this board wishing to earn money or trade here?
I keep telling you over and over that anecdotal accounts mean nothing. I am lucky to be a legend and already wealthy so need no sig.
This does not apply to a huge proportion of the board so the threat of having their income cut off if they say something out of line or that gets them red is certain a big consideration to them which influences their free speech without doubt.
Also you argument is broken because of course once you have red tags there is nothing to lose by speaking out... it is prior the tags that the red stifles free speech. There can be no denial of this.
