RE: Steem Suggestion: Hard Fork For following accounts's funds
This is a terrible idea that I hope is roundly rejected by everyone who reads this. I am sympathetic to @bellyrub scandal, not only because I oppose vote buying personally but because I know the typical activity of the person behind the new usage.
But calling for a state-style asset forfeiture is extremely irresponsible and goes against your argument for fairness. If in this case why not in another? And who decides and how? Since all is done here by investment the can someone else simply invest and demand that others' investment is robbed? Or if by numbers, can a sybil group then demand the same? No.
Like it or not, "buyer beware" was not followed here by those who were (allegedly?) scammed. You should not have trusted @bullyrub. An escrow should have be used, this basic stuff. So while I support and am sympathetic to the victims, there is no central authority to which you can appeal. Vote buying just isn't safe or, I believe, ethical.
I suggest you retract this statement.
I didn't give a single cent to bellyrub. I am angry because he whale downvoted all my posts with @freedom's SP.
Well, it is going to get rejected anyway.
