2. Should a (some) very old post (posts) worth reporting unless it contains harmful contents like malware to download or phishing link etc (obviously both offense are ban worthy)
There should be some kind of rule / limit to this.
The problem is that I can post a link today that is 100% legitimate. Be it for a miner firmware / altcoin wallet / pdf of useful phone numbers / whatever.
And over the years the domain it is linked to falls into the hands of a bad actor.
Case in point I now own roulettecoin.cc
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=592251.0and tenebrix.org
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45667.0and a few others. These were legit projects with some following that more or less died.
If I go nuts and turn them into bitcoin stealing malware sites and then start reporting everyone in every thread that linked back to them for spreading malware it's going to cause a lot of people a lot of grief.
There needs to be a limit on how far back in time it goes. OR a better ban appeal process for it.Hell I'm 90% sure I have github access to tenebrix as back in the day it was linked to a tenebrix.org email address so I should be able to do a reset / recovery.
So outside of the fact that I just outed myself, how hard would it be for me to start playing games like that. Find old dead projects that people have linked to, get some domains and go to work screwing with people.
