How does everyone is guilty until proven innocent approach help the brand and cause of Libertycoin? If people don't post their wallet address and balance so many assumptions are made. Either they are a crook, scammer, or if their wallet amount is very small then their voice is suspect.

I'm truly not trying to start nor encourage a fight, but I'm not sure how that approach helps.

I'm not a fan of censorship, however, in the world of cryptocurrency forums I can understand the reason behind it. How can allowing people (and I'm speaking only of people who have no vested interest, not those who are asking legitimate questions) to post and cause undo concern to members of the community help the brand and cause of Libertycoin? There are some people, not all, who may have a motive just to make Libertycoin fall.

I thought this was quite clear: It is VOLUNTARY. The HONOR LIST. VOLUNTARY. If you are a fat wallet and you don't join, yes you become suspect. Sorry. In the real world, that is called DISCLOSURE. And it is enforced by law. You want to get to be mainstreams, play by mainstream rules. Only here, you get to remain anonymous. Best of both worlds. No strings attached, no negatives. Only positives out of it. I hope this clarifies. If not, please don't hesitate to ask.

As we all have just seen, censorship is counter productive. Because you cannot exercise it. They tried and failed at BC. Iconic and the dev are doing it here and you just witnessed what happened a few minutes ago. This is the internet and you cannot silence anyone. If you don't allow it here, they will come out in other places. More damaging too, because here you can easily counter illegitimate arguments, identify sock puppet accounts, etc. The innuendo spread over troll boxes, social networks and other threads, much more difficult. And the effects, as you have witnessed, are devastating, much more so than if you allow dissenting voices to be countered right here by the interested AND INFORMED parties.

Censorship is rightfully associated with having something to hide. That's why it is 100% counter-productive.
