Especially egregious scammers are not able to continue scamming others, especially after it has become abundantly clear that they are a scammer, which I believe to be the case with Lauda.
Please, do enlighten me. Who exactly did I scam and how?

1 - You attempted to extort both
zeroaxl, and
defcon23, and possibly others. You have admitted no wrongdoing when you were called out on attempting to extort these people, you have shown no remorse, all indicators of a sociopath.
2 - You have a list
here, in which (at the top of the above post), you yourself admit that you were an escrow agent in a transaction that one party will end up loosing a cumulative ~2.2
BTC, due to at best your gross negligence, or more realistically, due to your own malicious planning with the scammer.
What does it say about you QS, if you would want certain people (People you have had problems with in the past) to have some of their rights to use this forum purged or removed?
Rather than this, why would you not just ask for Lauda to be banned? Or do you prefer oppression?
About Ascendancy. I took a small part in that project as I knew some people working on it (not the devs.. lol). From what I saw and what I understood from the people involved, this had nothing to do with the escrows. And all of the escrows, in particular lauda worked tirelessly to get back the stolen funds. Did you really do your due diligence on this one?
A certain portion of the people that had legacy scammer tags still have a "hidden scammer tag" that includes restrictions against deleting posts in self moderated threads, you can see
this thread for more information. These 'hidden scammer tags' are still occasionally given out to certain (non-penny) scammers.
I am sorry that some people in your group of friends are criminals. I can assure you this is not personal.
It is the job of an escrow agent to secure funds that are part of a transaction, and to return funds to one party if the other runs away and does not fulfill their obligations of a transaction, as was the case of the "devs" of the altcoin that Lauda was acting as escrow for. As mentioned above, Lauda failed to secure the funds that are part of the transaction in question. I do not have access to what was posted by the "devs" as the "escrow agreement" however the evidence points to (and there is no conclusive evidence to suggest otherwise) that Lauda would only receive funds intended to purchase the new altcoin every several hours, and there were no clear warnings posted by any of the escrow providers that this was the case -- even using the most liberal definition of escrow, this is in no way providing escrow services.
I would also point out that this is not the first time that Lauda was involved in a sketchy "project" that ended up scamming,
here is another example, although less money appears to have been scammed, Lauda was advertising/endorsing this service despite the clear warnings of a scam.
This is absurd.
Lauda did a nice job moderating, and their actions of "extortion" did not end in anyone's coins being stolen. If anything, their position as moderator was not as much influenced by this than Theymos and his pals trying to distance themselves as far as possible.
What it looks like to me is that someone felt the need to complain that they, who also is accused of doing something wrong but didn't make anything or even affect anyone else, have been begged when Lauda, in a similar case, isn't really "feeling the heat".
How come we don't see all this drama with censorship on altcoins threads, Theymos' dox, Block stream, etc? Why all on Lauda? You're making a mountain of a molehill.
You are wrong.
