RE: I Almost Got Scammed By @anoniam: Ban Him From All Discord Servers. He is a PHISHER

in #phishing7 years ago

A member who visits my blog nearly everyday, long time follower; he got scammed out of something like 600SBD. Bastards...

I still think it would be wise to put a system in place that allows us to responsibly vote people off of the platform. Of course, they'll just find a way around it like everything else...

Sort:  

I get that, but the trouble is it means good people can be voted off for having non pc views - ie censorship.

That's why I added the word responsibly. It would be irresponsible to vote people off for thinking a certain way.

Yes but that's where it gets really complicated. For example if someone posts something that questions mob rule they would likely get pushed off, even though mob rule is often irrational. Mobs believe they are being responsible and the people they are persecuting irresponsible. A good example of this is the recent metoo movement. If someone questions it they get decimated.

This is the tough price that comes with free speech. If we're truly going to be for free speech then we have to recognise that there'll be many things said which are totally against our sensibilities. This includes the scammers, people of opposing politics, religion and more.

There is this crazy war going on here on steem between someone called something like Haejin and berniesanders. They vote each other's stuff down and pound each other. Making accusations etc. I've no idea who's right/wrong but they'd both be off steem if it were possible to remove people I'm sure.

No, we wouldn't. We bring more attention to this platform than most of that trash you see on the Trending page.

And, I'm right, he's wrong. There's no doubt about that.

Lol geez you're quick to respond bruv! I've no idea what's going on with you both. Hope it gets worked out.

yeah, it sucks. I can't believe i was chatting with a fucking scammer for weeks. This is disturbing...

Trust has to be earned, it's never a given. I'm not paranoid but I am guarded. That's probably why I stick to myself so much. People...
