User blog comment:Username5243/Why I oppose being suspicious of new people/@comment-31966679-20180530004744/@comment-30754445-20180530005817

The problem with the "kick out the puppet and revert the changes" is that Edwin can be really subtle at times.

And he isn't an idiot. On a site with reasonable security, you can bet that he'll do his best to disrupt things without getting himself caught. He might play dumb in order to waste our time, or make remarks that are aimed at the sensativites of the person he's talking too (and  remember - he knows most of us quite well) without technically breaking any rules.

Keep in mind that he has actually done this a few times here, and apparently managed to fool nearly everybody more than once.

And Username5243 is right: A community where every tiny thing makes people suspicious is not healthy one. And this is precisely why I'm suggesting the registration-date cutoff point: Because that's the only way to be 100% sure. It is the only way to allow the people on the new site to lower their guard and feel safe.
