Right, I see what you're saying.  I don't want to limit anyones choices.
~  In my chess example, dirtbags used the community to try their schemes
out on folks.  It would be nice to have a chess (or whatever) community
that used something like the web of trust in PGP to help filter out such
nonsense.  If you abuse the privilege, then "whoever" removes their seal
of approval from your key.  Maybe like financial institutions do with a
credit report, but it would be a kind of "trust" report.  You can't
enter game room A because that community only wants to deal with <insert
your code of ethics here>.  But this may create more problems than it
solves.  I suppose if there were an easy answer it would already be
available to us.
