Tram DAO​

Purpose

To prevent Trolling and Spamming and to modify their behavior into a positive for crypto

Yes – I know, we only have about 3 trolls and 1 spammer, but imagine if Bitcoin had this DAO, what the effect could have been: No split community – civilized discussion – reasoned arguments finding solutions – no logjam - crypto charging ahead.

I was having my aft nap when I got this idea and there went my sleep. Supposed to work on PEC guidelines, but I gave myself 30 min to put this out there. Maybe someone who is invested in Bitcoin can try and sell it to them. :rolleyes:

Before
Roadmap
Define Trolling and Spamming
Define penalties: 1 day ban; 1 week; 1 month etc
Create methods to change behavior

Organisation
DAO – similar to PEC DAO https://goo.gl/Ug3uvD Proposal Evaluation Committee
Committee of specialist (unpaid) who does research and give recommendations on behaviour modification
Level 1 Tram ;) – assigned to a social medium
Level 2 Master Trammer – supervises a number of Trammers, Could there be categories of Trolls and spammers. F Knows?
Level 3 Top Trammer – supervises Master Trammers
All trammers paid out of and selected from the community and only serve a limited time to prevent corruption/centralization

Have fun

OMG! I'd buy into the idea perhaps. Do you suppose that we could perhaps impose fines? Like the kind that traffic-cops give you?
 
Welcome D Guy - see you've just joined. Love your avatar :)
It will be up to the Trams to decide whether they will rehabilitate them or shoot them :rolleyes:
 
This actually opens a significant new area of discussion. Digital currency has the potential to free us from bankers and governments. I'd love for both of those institutions to be gone ;-) but what about the penal system? How should the community punish people who misbehave? The motto "Be nice or go home" comes to mind. What should we do with people who do neither?

Yes OP, we could ban them for a period of time. But then we alienate them. Surely we want to be inclusive? So I'm wondering whether the idea of fines could somehow work?
 
Poloniex trollbox has a system where they ban them for an hour. I think on a forum a day might be better, but still done in a lighthearted way.
Aghh! I promised myself I won't get involved in discussions re this. Someone - please take it away and run with it. All yours!! Haven't got time!

Fines will be difficult/impossible? using the blockchain, but I like your comment re governments/banks - they are the only 2 things I really dislike! Rather the multi party democracy system as it's used now.
You will find you are among like minded people here ;)
 
The ideal Tram would be a child of middle-school age, modeled on Mao's Red Guards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards_(China)

Perhaps we can employ the Ludovico technique of Clockwork Orange -- it was certainly effective:

Ludovico technique, an experimental aversion therapy for rehabilitating criminals within two weeks. Alex is strapped to a chair, injected with drugs, and forced to watch films of sex and violence with his eyes propped open.

Banning will lead to censorship. I won't point to obvious examples in crypto and outside.

Rating system works much better. And we even do have it on the forum: check "Likes Received: 48" under @Biltong avatar on the left :)
 
I was thinking of the absolute troll mess on r/btc and r/bitcoin when I wrote this. Ratings won't make a dent - they won't care. Incremental bannings starting from one day vs the outright ban/censorship of r/bitcoin might slowly teach the trolls manners, Uncontrolled trolling caused massive damage at bitcoin and it affects all of us. Creates a bad image for all crypto. I wrote this tongue in the cheek and hopefully Dash will never need something like this, but I'm surprised that no-one has done something about trolling. It should be studied: effects/control etc. What do you think the monetary value of the troll damage on BTC has been 5 $Billion? More? Where would BTC have been now if there was no deadlock?
 
Right now it's a non-problem for me, personally. I've blocked the only user I do perceive as troll - and whole forum is nice and informative
 
I'm surprised that this thread wasn't started on 1 April. Like Introducing Google Nose.

It was started as a joke so we shouldn't perhaps take it too seriously. But it started a conversation....
Biltong is right, the rating system is no deterrent. But if the majority of us want somebody to leave, there should be a voting system.

I'm going to shut-up now, before I get myself in trouble... :)
 
Very touchy subject - banning people. :rolleyes: Caused massive controversy at r/bitcoin. Something that comes back to bite you in the arse. The MOD who did the bannings are a person non-grata in crypto now. Although.... there is someone...
 
The solution is simple.

Every forum user to be able to define the moderators of his choice and thus with their help create a personal view of the forum.

The top selected moderators (by all users) should also define the default view for the outsiders, for the people who have no account in the forum.
