The point is not that. The point is why would I get kicked out of a campaign where I was following every rule? I did come out of the wood but I did not spam. I even earn merit from suchmoon when I come back. So why should everyone else get a chance to earn from that campaign and I kicked out because of one bully?
I dont expect the community to stick out their neck for me. Not many people know me here. But I hope at least the man that is managing a large campaign like this, would be fair. Am I wrong to assume that?
My first post in this thread is expressing my opinion that he's wrong in this case, and I don't feel like expressing my honest opinion is "sticking my neck out." It's just my opinion, like Timelord's review is his own.
But I think you're missing the point of the forum. By your own admission you only came here to earn a few sats, rather than to be a participant in the community and discussion of bitcoin. It's my opinion that alone makes you a spammer, regardless how many merit you earn and from whom.
I thought the philosophies of a libertarian forum like this would be more in line with famous jurist William Blackstone's ratio:
"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."
I like that, and although I don't describe myself as a libertarian I tend to agree with the sentiment. But the trust system isn't a court of law. No one is going to jail because Timelord leaves a negative review on his trust wall. We are all adults, and we are all entitled to take every review any way we choose.
I have my reasons for valuing Timelords efforts. I run a business here that leaves me very vulnerable to those who abuse alt accounts. So, yeah I find "his efforts are a tremendous contribution." I may have my selfish reasons, but I also expressed that "I may not always agree with his findings." If you're going to quote me, please be thorough, not selective.
So exactly why is it you running a business here and making your trust system choices on your own "selfish reasons" is A-OK, but because a regular contributing member wants to earn a few Satoshis on a signature campaign, that is just despicable? Fuck everyone else, you got yours right? Legitimate users put a lot of time, monetary risk, and effort into building a reputation here. If that is not treated seriously then all you are going to get is a deluge of bought accounts because anyone who dares to do it right is perpetually incentivized not to. Or they simply just leave because their investment can be burned at the drop of a hat by control freaks like Timelord that more than anything just love to have people begging them to have their property restored, most often as users without the knowledge or community connections to resist in any way.
