My philosophy to entrust and ~distrust members

[Theb]

Totally agree with you here. I'm more than willing to remove any red tags I have left for ICOs or other projects in the team in question can provide evidence that I was wrong. Most of the time they just disappear after being red tagged. The closest one got was to claim that a third party had written their plagiarized whitepaper for them, it wasn't their fault, and that they would sort it all out. They sorted it out by just deleting the whitepaper altogether and not having one at all.

That is always their scapegoat right there, they will always tell us that it is an isolated case that they were not aware of. Everytime they got tagged they will have some kind of damage control where they will replace/delete the whitepaper and go as far as creating a new team identity which are all red flags of a scam still trying to pursue their fake project.

There are also guys like this one:

Stock photos were used , bought under a licence.



ICO will contiune. End of talk.
Using stock images is not a crime, and it is absolutely legal to use aliases and stock images.
As many other do and have done in the past.

Which are self-admitted criminals and they are claiming that what they are doing is not wrong. Of course these guys deserves a red tag right away with no questions ask.

Yup, like that somehow makes it better. "Oh, we weren't actively trying to deceive anyone, we are just so incompetent we didn't know any better!"

The underlying issue is the same though. If you were scummy enough to plagiarize your whitepaper/website/ANN thread, or scummy enough to steal people's identity, or scummy enough to please ignorance about the whole thing (whether true or not), then who knows what else you are scummy enough to do. Exit scam? You bet.

I like the one where the DT Trolls ^TM will say something like:

Overall Timelord2067 does a lot of good, but on the odd occasion gets it wrong, so I'm going to put him on my ~ list...

yet none of these DT Trolls ^TM have ever had the courage to say "Hey Timelord2067, I can't help but notice you got this wrong because ... (example) ..."

May be some day I will start doing this so that if anyone is a victim of wrong judgement or deserves a benefit of the doubt then they get it. This is a good idea and thanks for that.

I already give some insights for some of the distrusted member of my list however...
I am thinking to write some the reasons (later) why I entrusted/entrusting the members in my trust settings. I am done with negativity.

There are two sides of looking at a half full glass.
1. Half empty
2. Another one is already said right before my last sentence.

Anyway, updated trust settings:
