RE: EXPOSING "@KARLTAYLOR" - IDENTITY THIEF - PLAGIARIST - SCAMMER AND ALL AROUND DOUCHE
Thank you for this fine bit of sleuthing.
One does sometimes wonder how Steemit could react if the real Karl Taylor got a court order to remove the fake one from Steemit. Ignore or hardfork, are there any other options?
No problem at all - just trying to keep things as honest as they can be around here. Yeah I was apprehensive about bringing this to him at first because I didn't know what negative affects it could have for us - forgive my ignorance - when you say Hardfork - how would that apply - like there would be a new version void of the offending content?
It could well be the only way to remove a user(name) and the associated content without deleting all existing nodes and copies of the whole blockchain.
I never put much thought into what goes on behind the scenes. Been doing lots of reading today about the mechanics of the system. regardless of how this stuff is handled now - we need a more efficient way of fixing things.
