That would require him to actually make a decision and stand by it, and lol.

Nah
I get it

While today's event was awful this is still the way SA avs have worked since day 1 with minimal damage, certainly minimal in the last 10 years

Kiwifarms doesn't exist anymore even
"This is the way things have always been" is not a reason to never change them ever, Spinz. The damage is no longer minimal.

He has spent the last 5 hours using the tools he does have to look into this.
Great!

I get the instinct to turtle up and just not interact with people being dicks to me, I really do, Jeff, but doing that is just going to make people angrier at you. You're doing the exact same thing Lowtax would do, minus breaking things first before swanning off again- if you want people to stop being dicks to you, you need to actually interact with them on the regular. And you're going to have to accept that there is no way to please everyone, there is always going to be a contingent who are never going to be happy with you, for reasons either legitimate or imagined.

Literally any hurdle will do, because right now what we have is none. Well, being able to properly spell your intended targets username might count for some people, but not for most.

All of these solutions seem kind of pointless to me if it really is possible to spoof every identifiable aspect of a payment, I don’t see much difference between doxxing or harassing someone with an avatar and doing it with posts or threads.
"We can't stop it from happening at all, therefore we should do nothing at all" is a bad mindset.

I'm of the opinion that right now? gently caress the community reaction. That's a problem for later. Right now the community is the one causing the drat problem, by doing the doxxing; impede the ability of those in the community inclined to do so first, then worry about the reaction.
The people who aren't doing it, won't care.

The fact y'all keep ghosting when asked to acknowledge something does not inspire confidence. You do realize that right?
