Money in this case would be a tool to teach the client to value the person's time more highly and fend for themselves. If it costs the client $100 every time he forwards a comment for consideration, the client might actually put in the effort to learn the patterns the person has been explaining to the client.
If the client doesn't stop, at least the worker is compensated highly for their trouble, so it's a win/win.
- Shared404 6y agoNormally I would agree, but I don't know in this instance. Ignoring any personal relationships that the above commentor could have with the author, if the author goes to him first it keeps money away from the scammers. That seems like a decent goal.

- loco5niner 6y agoWhy is it so hard to want to serve others? This is an old person who would otherwise fall victim to a scammer, and all it takes a little bit of someones time every now and then. Suggesting we charge them $100 every time is ridiculous.
- dredmorbius 6y agoIf you've only a handful of users doing this, the load's manageable. At scale, or for the ones who never learn, it eventually becomes a burden. Either you've got real costs to support or you need to incentivise learning on the part of clients. For a large cohort improved comms are net net a liability and risk with no upside.
