I know that. We talked about it on IRC and I agreed that even with all its flaws, WoT is actually the only feasible solution ATM. I posted that message to Frost _before_ we talked about it on IRC, and I wouldnt have forwarded it here because the topic has been discussed more than enough. A new "combo" client capable of running the "classic" Frost side by side with Freetalk could be a nice workaround, even tho not really a solution: a board on the old non-wot Frost could be used by an identity to ask for some _message_ trust if it's been made virtually invisible by the Little Brothers' before anyone could give it any trust. And yes, it can be spammed. make a new one then. The point is that an ID that has been unjustly blocked can ask for a second chance, and having to ask means that those who agree to give that ID some trust will watch him and will be ready to revoke that trust if he starts spamming, so asking for some trust and then abusing it is not gonna work.
