Hi, I have been playing around graphing out the data from graph protocol here: Map of Humanity
I am interested in this profile of Auryn, they have vouched for a few others, but then the account has been removed. The people they vouched for are now registered and have vouched for others. What should be the process here? if they only have one vouch and the profile that vouched them is removed, should they be challenged? e.g. Dan has become verified from Auryns vouch and has then vouched for Cody, but this all hinges on the removed profile as the source.
Would a voluntary removal (somebody deciding to remove themselves) of an account have the same impact on the people they vouched for as a forced removal (somebody challenged)?
Similar with Nacho, who has been challenged (I think?) so their status has changed back to Pending. If Nachos status remains pending or becomes removed what is the impact on the connected users?
Also, I imagine that there are a number of plants/test accounts in the removed profiles list from the dev team. I wondered if there was a list of addresses (after they’ve been caught) which are from known testers performing to see how the system works. It would be nice to be able to filter these from the list of removed accounts so we can start to see the people who maybe just did something wrong, and people who are attempting a real attack.
Also, it may be my map is wrong too!
thanks,
Isaac.
edit: also to clarify my map, purple is registered accounts, orange is pending, red is removed.
The vouched person is not penalized if the one who vouches is not in rule. On the other hand, someone who vouches a profile that ends in challenge and loses, is penalized.
