Bad Actor Detection and Exclusion

Status: Deprecated seed memo.

This memo is retained only as a historical pointer. Orbiplex does not try to detect "badness" or amorality as an inner property of a person. The current model protects shared surfaces of influence through membership policy, sponsorship, probation, capability limits, evidence-backed reputation, anti-collusion sweep, sanctions, appeal, and repair paths.

Former idea:

Nodes may use consensus to detect and flag bad actors so they can be excluded from communication or subjected to temporary penalties.

Refinement:

Nodes and federations should restrict concrete influence surfaces on the basis of evidence, scope, expiry, reviewability, and appeal, rather than issuing a global moral label.
