RE: I Got Flagged Three Times Yesterday. Did You?

in #community6 years ago

I'm sure we could come up with something to take care of the spammers, the scammers, the plagiarists, the phishers and now the inane flaggers, without putting into jeopardy every other account on the blockchain because we somehow opened up Pandora's Box.

I totally agree with this but have no idea how. Wouldn't we need access to the code @glenalbrethsen?

I'd love to know how any people who have lived under any form of decentralization managed their criminal or lazy elements.

Are there examples of this then. I didn't think anyone had ever lived under decentralisation. At least not in "modern" times. If there has been this I wonder when and where the last time was.

Sort:  

I'd have to go looking again (and that could take a while) but a while back on someone's post talking about how anarchy or decentralization didn't work, someone in the comments referenced one area somewhere in Asia (don't recall where or when) who have been working under a form of anarchy for quite a long time. Centuries maybe. It was a pretty isolated group of people, I think, and not nearly as diverse in thought, race, or need, so outside of the groups themselves (I think there were different tribes or clans or something), it would be difficult to say if it would work on larger scales.

However, the comment didn't really specify how they went about punishing those who might be deemed criminal. The post was more about general governance than it was about identifying and then dealing with bad actors.

Ha. ha, ha @glenalbrethsen. That first paragraph is exactly the sort of thing I might write. Most unusual for you not to have your finger on the pulse. 😂

Hope all is well in your world and you're not "working" too hard. 😍

Well, when I say a while back, it could have been up to three or four months ago, and I've crammed a lot more into my brain since then. :) As it is, I think I managed to give you the gist of things. The relevant part was how to take care of bad actors in a decentralized system, and that wasn't a part of the comment or the wikipedia entry that I went to look up. Hard to believe there weren't ever any bad people, unless painful death by fireants or something was the punishment.

At any rate, any finger I might have on the pulse would need to be more current and up to date, rather than three or four months ago, right? :)

So far so good this morning. Cranking out comments, and getting ready to do some posting in a bit. Whether I'm working hard, or hardly working, is left up for interpretation, I guess. :)

Thanks for the clarification @glenalbrethsen.

Sounds like working hard to me but in a good way, since you like writing so much! 😁
