Degen

My big issue wrt Season 12 bans...

AFAIK @laladeedah was NOT banned, which is truly inexplicable. This account made 350k+ in tips, 6th on the leaderboard, most of any "regular" profile -- they have 15 followers, averaging 0 engagement besides microsub tips all from the same user! @degen133.eth

This was the easiest 356k degen to claw back and these profiles should obviously be permanently banned. How many artists and small farmers had to be robbed to make up for this one massive extractor? Is this a VC or insider profile? I don't get it. Inexplicable is really the best word I have for it. Super discouraging.

It would be simple to ban actual bad faith users like this:
- perma-ban any FID who received over 50k in tips solely from 1 or 2 or 3 donors
- perma-ban any FIDs who only tipped 1 or 2 recipients the entire season
That is low hanging fruit to ban tipping rings and purely extractive farmers. But instead we're targeting users who tip "reciprocally" (by a largely arbitrary definition).

Not a great look is it.

Setting a reasonable cap that is tied to the lowest allowances / lowest claims would make a lot of sense. There should be some rational multiple between the two groups. Think of it as a tariff on extractors. But without the small holders the volume of fair transfers won’t grow.

I agree and it seems obvious. At least the biggest culprits should be captured. It all just seems so strange.

Degen and Warpcast have been very “protect the whales” since each had early success. So they focused on capping or weeding out people like me to fight bots and spam — so I largely abandoned both platforms. 

It was all very reactive and heavy handed and I think I that is not unusual when things scale quickly. In the case of Warpcast I think they may have blown their window.  But then Lloyd’s of London started as a coffee shop.
