for the record, i'm not sure i agree with the basis for the ~tmfp exclusion.
you and suchmoon may be here to attack people, but i am not.
LOL. That's objectively bullshit. Droning on about a misconception you had about what I meant when I said "the vast minority" which was clarified before you even started questioning me about it... Either you have poor reading comprehension or were mustering an attack, take your pick.
you can accept the truth (see below) or you can keep dwelling on a nothingburger.
i thought we were just having an honest debate, and i was responding to your argument. at most, you could say i exaggerated for effect, which i don't think is particularly out of line.
when i was talking about "attacks" i was referring to
ad hominem/character attacks. i don't understand how that applies here.
i am perfectly fine with current DT members retaining their status---i'm just hoping we can pressure them towards more objective standards, and that the more abusive ones will be forced to rein in their abuse or be excluded.
Well, lucky for you, that's how the system was designed to operate and is currently operating.
i think that's debatable, but point taken.
- If an account leaves a link to malware-laced software, do they deserve a red tag?
"fraud" is a necessary standard. i assume it would fall under "violation of applicable laws". intentional deception to secure unlawful gains seems to apply here. if we're talking about coin-stealing malware, then it constitutes theft as well. if proven, it seems tag-worthy.
- If an account is knowingly supporting an obvious Ponzi scheme, do they deserve a red tag?
this one is pretty loaded. what does "obvious" mean? do we actually
know it's a ponzi scheme?
what do you mean by "supporting"? are we talking about actively operating the scheme, actively shilling for it? wearing a paid signature advertisement?
- If an account announces an ICO with a plagiarized white paper and fake team members, do they deserve a red tag?
if proven, this seems like another case of fraud. victims are being intentionally deceived for the operator's unfair gain. red tags seem okay under this scenario, assuming the proof is well-documented, but i'm curious to see if there are opposing arguments.
thank you for engaging in a real discussion about the topic. this is exactly the sort of stuff i'm hoping we can discuss and build consensus around.
