RE: Wallet Fix - Stop the Scams/Spam!
Could there be like some sort of "scam/spam police" , and once the police reports you over a period of time and every necessery checks has been done, i guess it's best to expel you from the platform.
In a way, the scam/spam police do exist, in the form of steemcleaners, cheetah, etc. They take actions to negate rewards or to spread the word, but it sounds like you may be wanting someone with some kind of legal authority or some kind of punishment beyond the community's own moderation?
Expelling someone from the platform (as in Steemit) is an intriguing idea. The problem is, however, while a user may abandon an account because a number of folks knock down their reputation, making it virtually impossible for their articles to be seen, that doesn't seem to apply to wallet transactions.
We've been told that accounts are sacrosanct. In other words, they won't be touched by Steemit or anyone else, so I'm not sure what other recourse there might be.
It looks like @glenalbrethsen already got a great response to you, but as a decentralized platform, it's hard to remove people from Steemit. A while ago, I saw a screenshot of an account that was purported to be deleted, but I don't know if it was legitimate. As far as I know, accounts can't be deleted.
Still, there's got to be something that can be done to cut down on wallet spam. The wallet should be one of the safest tabs. You have some good thoughts and I really appreciate you commenting. :)
