To say it was his only source of income and he needed the money, so he can cheat and the rest of the forum must be understanding is dangerous. There are people in Brazil who tries to justify robbery with the same argument.
Are you really comparing using alts to go around campaign rules to a violent crime?
He did not steal money from anyone, and he certainly did not commit violence against anyone. He provided a service, and received payment for said service.
He was arguing that as he needed the money and it could be his only source of income, that is "ok' and it should made any difference to others... I don't agree with this. If a scammer needs the money and scamming people is his only source of income, would it care? I am just using Reductio ad absurdum to say why I don't agree.
He provided the service pretending to be someone else.
He stole money from other potential participants. Just because you can't name them, doesn't mean they don't exist, like suchmoon said. He might have stole 2 BTC from you. How would you feel about that?
Well, maybe not you two, because malevolent is already in the campaign and quickseller couldn't have joined because of negative tag...
It’s absolutely 100% fair free market anarchy..
Every one of us had the same opportunity to enroll 3 or even 10 alts into CM just as he did..
Yeah he broke the rules, but he got away with it, and made a killing..
In a decentralized world you have to think of what is possible without bounds of morality, and expect whatever to happen accordingly..
Keep your eyes out for scammers and others to take advantage of every and any opportunity..
But nothing is decentralized here... just the payment method...
The forum is owned by someone, CM is a private company, the campaign is managed (so centralized) in darkstar. The money comes from one source only...
As the company is requesting a service, according to X rules which DS established, talking about decentralization makes no sense to me...
But i agree, he has the freedom to do as he wants. After all, this is internet.
