I think Koop's approach is diplomatic and fair. Most of the detected socks will simply accept their fate especially if they are blatant socks and the evidence is against them. If there are exceptions where a user can show they are not a sock, they just have to present their case and the community can decide.
What else can we do that is both fair and protects the integrity of Node? This is the best approach to take.
I'm very much for eliminating socks but the problem here is that sometimes there is no real evidence.
"experimental calculation", "the secret method".
That for me doesn't count as real evidence unless it's abundantly clear how it was generated.
Some socks are obvious, others aren't. How is anyone to argue against a secret method ?
It is secret! The thing is that we know! And can proof it! But we won't go out loud on the forum! Cause it contains sensitive information! Thus why we will push the committee build up! We will show the proof only to them and they will convey the final word! If only that will be necessary!
At the moment there is no arguing necessary, especially for those that are in the safe zone!
The thing is that the more we are arguing on this behalf the more time we loose! Time that could be spend for more important issues!
If someone has anything to hide, they will make everything possible that it remains hidden!
But what i desire, is that those that have puppets, to pm us and confess! I don't want as much as you, to argue in vain and try to point out the obvious!
We know the reason why you made a puppet! And if you believe that we won't find you, or you have a chance to slip trough, you are being naive!
I will put all my trust in the community, and i hope that there are people that share my thinking!
