Hello Dear @rhondak, I can understand your concern regarding the delegations requested by our friend @crypto.piotr, and is in all its right to deny or delegate its resources to whoever believes most convenient.
I also think that cataloging someone as a "scammer" only because they do not know what they are doing is not the right way to do things. The fact that a person does not belong to a community constituted and known, is not a reason to doubt the integrity of that person.
I also believe that the fact that blockchain is a "decentralized" technology gives you the freedom to undertake projects that are for the benefit of others or of yourself, that is what freedom is about, logically respecting the rights of other people.
A @crypto.piotr I have recently contacted him, specifically since last December so I do not know him but I have a good experience in this relationship of mutual collaboration. Paticipe in one of your delegation projects in which I won the option to receive 40SP along with another number of users, when my low RC did not allow me to work well and I am working with freedom thanks to 40sp delegates by @crypto.pior and 50sp of a delegation from our friend @thedarkhorse.

it is also my knowledge that I am from venezuela and last Christmas the friend @crypto.piotr organized a crusade called SANTA VENEZUELA https://steemit.com/charity/@crypto.piotr/santa-and-piotr-visits-venezuela -join-us-today with the purpose of helping 8 Venezuelans who are in a similar situation managing to raise a quantity of steem of which I received 75 steem.
With all due respect, I understand your concern, but as far as I am concerned, I believe that this user has shown his intentions with help, until now we are participating in a community that although we do not have formality, we are supporting each other.
Blessings!
If he wants to be perceived as legit, he should conduct himself in a manner that does not involve spamming other users and alienating an entire community that could help him achieve his goals.
Maybe your strategy is not the most common but it does not mean that it is illegitimate.
I think the most sensible thing would be to close the discussion and avoid sending messages to the wallets of people who do not agree with that.
I also believe that you are in all your right to reject this type of action, if you perceive that there is risk in them.
There is something essential in human relationships and it is mutual respect.
Then he should respect the space of other users and stop invading their wallets and comment threads with unsolicited spam. This is a far more serious offense than your group of misguided users seems to realize.
