Hey! I totally agree with Giving people more money on their posts isn’t going to help with user retention if a community is what you’re building. I believe that every community should test their new members in the long run and see how involved they are. The most frustrating part if I may call it like this is the fact that if a scammer gets away with it for a long time , as in my case for more than a year, those rewards can't be recuperated or frozen. Is this maybe an Achile's heel of the blockchain where if someone could do anything about it then it would give the blockchain a huge advantage? In online scamming happenings money can't get frozen or recuperated. Imagine an algorithm which would at least transfer the remaining funds or stake to the true owner of the content before the scammer can do anything about it.
There is always this desire to communicate with other people while the threat of exposure and unwanted attention is on the other side. Revealing one's identity when you create content is almost inevitable. If you want to be believed and have credibility...you need an identity.
If you have the means to get a big stake then you need no identity as money works for you and there is no need to produce content and therefore have an identity in real life behind the account.
There are days in which I dream of being a recluse , a hermit living in a log cabin in the mountains and enjoy my life away from the world. Preferably with a loved one and my own offsprings.Maybe this would work until the innate desire of sharing my creativity would kick in.
Scammers have been doing nasty things on the face of the Earth since eons. It is what it is. I am happy that Hive members took action and from what I have been told the account has been muted , the scammer has powered up in order to make passive income from his/her earnings...and this is it.
