Ban Request *Thoughts*

[HalfEatenPie]

I understand what you are saying completely and I tend to agree with you, but what about when, now this is just an example, LEB runs a contest and the winner gets a free server for a year to start a business? Or if someone goes to a site like KickStarter and gets funds to start one? Why are these examples any different? <--(assuming they are)

This changes nothing in my opinion.  Simply the fact that (in case of the LEB contest) the "business owner" has the cost of the server removed for the first six months.  This should mean more capital is available to allocate to other needs, such as lets say the business registration fund?  

If they receive funding from a Kickstarter well they better include the cost of Administration fees into the amount of money they need.  Doing a Kickstarter doesn't mean you're going with the bare minimum to provide the product at 0 net profit.  It's there (in my opinion) to provide the initial funding to get your project going following a plan you have devised for it.  

All those opportunities are there to help someone in their "quest" of being a business owner.  It doesn't negate the fact that business registration in itself (at a business sense) is a pretty cheap and almost negligible cost that's in the way of gaining (in a layman sense) legal profit.  

Edit: Just to be clear of course we're talking hypothetically here.  You're playing the Devils Advocate so it's just one course of thinking.

Well the new business lack of funds is totally understandable.  It's why verified providers and non verified exist.

Believe it or not some able to incorporate folks just do not... Maybe they are believers in the Biblical definition of liability vs. the Limited Liability in corporations.

This site like all others that are moderated, bears inferred liability/responsibility to screen companies, shut down bad actors, etc.  This is unlike LE* that thinks they are above the laws and allows creeps like 123Systems to post offers. There are others they shouldn't be allowing to run offers either based on the outcomes by customers on multiple offers.

I understand that as well, but you can become a business without becoming Incorporated or even an LLC.

I agree something needs to be done about the rampant creeps and low lives we have in this industry. LE* has turned into something else over the years, and it is not something good in my eyes. For some reason they seem to have taken a stand back and watch things happen approach over there, and to an extent it gets them visitors and I guess it is what they want. The scope of the whole place has changed as does most things in life.

I am not sure what the right answer to this problem is, but on one hand you can come down hard and ban the ones that prove themselves to be untrustworthy, on the other hand you can let the community have their way with them. I am not sure which one is best for this forum, but I do know one thing for sure, I do not envy the Admins or mods their decision in this at all.
