RE: Why does @ned never have any data to backup his statements?

Yeah, but what do you want to do against it? Phishing is a general problem of the internet, you can't just disable it, especially not on a decentralized platform.

People just need to stop believing everyone on this website.

Sort:  

I thought about ID verification in case a person got reported many times or flagged for scamming. I know it is very complicated, but it is one of the major problems lately. That account was just an example, but there are many of them.

Again, we are on a decentralized platform. You can't just delete or disable accounts.

I know this sounds weird, but you can have multiple views on the same subject - I guess everyone would agree that scammers are bad, but if you would start deleting accounts because you say they are bad, you could also say people of a certain opinion are bad. You know what I mean?

Decentralization is a curse and a saviour at the same time.

Yes I know what you mean and even if you delete the accounts wont help much. Everyday accounts are created and the most of them are not blogging or comment, but receiving stolen money and transferring it to Bittrex. Imagine if they steal 500$ or more more everyday, isnt that a kind of reward pool rape!

Yeah, it's even worse than reward pool rape!
