If a node can just say "hey I'm a newbie be really nice to me", that can be abused.
No, not "be really nice to me", just "don't be horrible to me". We are going around in circles here - everyone agrees that any form of negative trust can be abused, the question is whether there is sufficient motivation to abuse it for it to be a problem. As to whether we have a choice - of course we do, doing nothing is always a choice.
I remember reading way back when I first started a node, it will take a couple hours before your node is integrated. For a user that's basically just a really long installation process. Sure it's annoying, but so what. You install it, go to sleep and try it out the next day. Maybe in that time 100% of your CPU is being eaten up.
It might be ok for you, but it probably reduces our userbase to about 1% of what it would otherwise be.
Ian.
