Especially the part where he uses the word "regulatory" got me thinking. The forum's mission is to be as free as possible. That includes allowing people to hunt scammers, but it makes it very difficult for new users to have the freedom to do business here.

I think we need to have some kind of balance between giving total control and total freedom for everyone to write whatever he wants.
Speaking about scams in forum, I think that situation is better now than it was few years ago, there is less stupid scams, but forum activity is also lower.
And I also know genuine users who got scared by evil fee during registration, and they never wanted to fully join bitcointalk.

There is less stupid scams, not only in the forum, but also in other crypto related platforms. The technology is no longer new, people have understood it and can not be easily mislednor scammed. It takes a smart scammer or a stupid newbie for stupid scams to happen.

I don't give big blames to the evil fees but bullies in the forum. Some DT bullies who goes around tagging newbies and lower members for some stupid reasons. It also scare new comers.
