Don’t do this.

Degen

It would be great if there a HUGE penalty for spammy behavior. 

Bad branding for /degen.

Agree in principle there could be ways to moderate spam. But users don’t typically love joining social media platforms where there are HUGE penalties for vaguely defined behaviors

If it were just annoying spam, we could talk about moderating.  It goes beyond that though in my experience to malicious.  We are being spear-phished by bad actors.  We continue to hear reports about those in the community whose wallets are being drained by smart social engineering and manipulated domain names.

this is a problem across crypto, more so on twitter than here in my experience. and has nothing to do with the post referenced here, though is a serious issue in its own right

I think these are core issues around spam & moderation on farcaster. I think Dan was wrong to pin to this on /degen. My point is that moderation is hard, and being overly punitive in a 'sufficiently decentralized network' will discourage your core initial user base (crypto people) from joining.

So I understand fully, the referenced post advocates discouraging demonstrated ongoing spam behavior. The issue is how to define this without trouncing on each caster’s right to cast what they want. Moreover, even entering into this conversation is dangerously close to centralizing what the community agreed not to.
