Context: a censure is a formal criticism. This is not a move to slash either validator. This formal criticism should help the redelegation process along, or encourage the delegator behind both nodes to maybe just do one, instead of two. Here’s proof of the unsafe practices: mintscan.io Interchain Explorer by Cosmostation Interchain block explorer and data analytics for sovereign blockchain networks. Personally, I agree with Mr. Larry Engineer: twitter.com larry.stars @larry0x what a validator provides to a blockchain is liveness and censorship resistance if a validator let someone else custody their node, they'd be offering neither they should leave and free up a spot for other validators who does run their own node twitter.com/Bonehea4145080… Bonehead @Bonehea41450802 @hopiummaster @larry0x @MbBrainz @gadikian @cosmoshub "Obviously, there are individuals that want to run validators but lack the technical ability or infastrutucture" - at this point they should stop, as they wont be able to offer anything to the network they validate on, and are just parasitic to the chain in nature 12:48 PM…

Validators should not vote for two validators from a single wallet.

One validator should not even vote for two validators, even if it is done from two wallets (but it makes it much harder to recognize that way). Ideally 1 spot = 1 validator = 1 party operating it.

This is not a proposal, it’s just an opinion. There’s a place for public discussion of validator practices, but governance is not that place. I would suggest that you close this and reopen it in the Discussion section. If this was an on chain proposal I would consider it spam.

This is prop 99 / 100

Was on the forum for a week before hitting the chain.

Unfortunately having public discussions of validator stuff gets people triggered, and carries no gravity.

An opinion formally expressed by governance, and voted on, becomes the official opinion of the hub and that’s the intention here.

To be clear, I have an agenda. The agenda is to raise standards.
