I am in complete agreement on that front. Merit sending should not warrant red trust, especially when it is used in a "legitimate" way, whether you agree with the post or otherwise. My complaint has never been about the people sending merit (although I did feel your comparison was disingenuous). My complaint is directly at the DOX, and all of my criticisms thus far have been aimed at that.

I think giving negative trust feedback to those that merited the Dox would be a mistake. I don't think that giving Vod negative trust would be abusive or out of bounds.

You originally said it was "just merit to a post you didn't like", but the "post you didn't like" isn't just an opinion you disagree with, it is an action that increases the threat-level in the everyday life of whoever lives at the address that was released. To be clear though, you're saying what I blew out of proportion was stating that there is potential risk associated with releasing the address of an individual and claiming there is millions of dollars in their possession?


Not the concern. The concern is a desperate 20-something that has nothing to live for and just needs a little guidance to do something evil.

When someone realizes there has been wrong done, but it was over a few hours ago so straw-man it and who cares:



Sounds like encouragement here :
