You might want to look up what the world hyperbole means. Also people contribute to this place as well even if it is the private property of Theymos. He has sought to decentralize its leadership some what. People spend lots of time, money, and energy building reputations and industries on this forum. Acting like people can just walk away without penalty, or that these things have no real world effects is just infantile.
I'm getting really tired of this tactic of yours. I'm not exactly blown away by your intellectual prowess and I recognize your condescension is just a veil over not being able to produce actual counterarguments. This forum is littered with people exactly like you. Get over yourself. Furthermore, people
can just walk away, they do every day, and they should if it makes them as distraught as it does you.
Yes it does sound like every society ever, perhaps we should take lessons from those systems of law and apply them here?
That's exactly what theymos is trying to do by democratizing the DT system. You on the other hand... I have no idea what you're trying to do. You seem to just be angry all the time.
Such as a standard of evidence for accusations and some form of due process.
OK, so present the idea to the board. Or, just theymos. Or both. However you see fit.
I don't speak for most people, but you do?
I never said I do. You, on the other hand, did... Most people that don't like the forum leave. Maybe its in your own best interest if you considered following suit.
So, I don't have a counter argument... even thought I immediately responded with counter argument? I am condescending not because a sense of grandiosity, but due to the fact I find you not to be intellectually honest, and I think you are projecting more than a little bit.
The question is not if people can walk away, it is what is the cost of them walking away? If people have no incentive to cooperate and invest in a community, what is going to be left of it? What is going to be the resulting quality of interaction here?
I am trying to get everyone involved in this matter to realize we NEED a standard of evidence for leaving negative ratings of either theft, violation of contractual agreement, or violation of applicable laws. Unless that line is drawn as a basic standard the trust system will never be anything more than noise, confusion, enabling scams, and drama. Maybe Theymos makes the rule. Maybe we all mutually agree on it, maybe just some of us do.
Perhaps I may seem "angry all the time" because I am being dog piled, slandered, dismissed, etc by various people who would rather make this a drama than a discussion, because this discussion might change things for them.
