I've had a quick look at their new white-paper. It certainly looks more professional and more in-depth than the one I originally red-tagged them for, and as far as I can tell, I cannot find any plagiarized content within it. While I'm certainly not going to remove the original red tag for plagiarism, they seem to have worked hard to overcome this. Given theymos' views on forgiveness and de-escalation in relation to the trust system (I've quoted a couple of relevant sections below), I'm not going to tag this new account based solely on their past mistakes, although I obviously can't speak for other DT users. If you find any other behavior on their part which is untrustworthy, feel free to post it here.
- Forgiveness: Often people make fairly small mistakes, but then they seemingly get red-trusted for life. This isn't really fair, and it discourages participation due to paranoia: if you think that you have a 1% chance of running afoul of some unwritten rule and getting red-trusted for life, you might just avoid the marketplace altogether. Red trust should mostly be based on an evaluation of what the person is likely to do in the future moreso than a punishment/mark-of-shame.
- You should be willing to forgive past mistakes if the person seems unlikely to do it again.
