This space is not 100% free of scams or fraudulent activities, no matter how hard anyone tries to get rid of such projects others will keep coming,
The idea of regulating the whole token deployment process by the team will definitely keep some potential projects away from using the network, the use of blockchain is to make things much easier and not do things manually again.
From the post I read above, I think the stabila dev team really need to have a rethink about the direction of their project in terms of connecting to other projects, I read somewhere above the dev thoughts about cmc and cg, it is not up to you to make it right or point out their flaws because every project has them, but the goal is to be in these sites where people frequently view crypto-related projects to give exposure to stabila as well, if you keep your project away from these sites, am afraid this project will not get the need exposure to reach as many users as possible.
If you to make your project spam free then you have to start from somewhere and they are trying to do that by introducing a fee of 1000 STB (approx 1600 USD). Cant say whether this fee is justified or not as we are yet to see the actual product.
The dev team views about CMC and CG are very interesting. They dont understand that CMC and CG are established projects while STB is something trying to enter the market.
