Buz is a prolific Ethos contributor and developer known for building Ethosians, a comprehensive data platform for tracking validators, reputation, and network activity. They are consistently present in the Ethos Discord, actively verifying humans, identifying sybils and AI-generated content, and providing honest, direct feedback on community activity—sometimes bluntly calling out bad behavior while also generously supporting new members with XP donations. With a 560+ day streak, 2000+ reputation score, and multiple successful slash proposals backed by detailed investigation, they are recognized as deeply committed to keeping Ethos clean and aligned with its core values, though some view their uncompromising approach and critical reviews as overly harsh or one-sided.

“If the Community Leaves, Who Stays?”I’m keeping a neutral stance on this move, though it leans more toward the negative. For a project to survive, it needs a loyal community and regular members who consistently contribute. In Ethos, however, most of the focus seems to be on influencers and projects, which raises the question — why would an ordinary person keep writing reviews for free? This is just my personal view on the situation. If the project’s CEO blocks all possibilities for R4R and triangles, what’s left for the community? Only writing reviews for big influencers? Writing to friends is banned because it’s considered R4R — but let’s be honest, if you’re active on Twitter you probably have more than 10 friends, so this limit feels questionable. In that case, many people will simply leave, because there’s no point in writing if you get nothing in return. Sure, vouched reviews exist, but is farming vouched reviews now the only way to grow your score? Stopping large public R4R groups might seem like an achievement, but there are countless other ways to run R4Rs and triangles. People just DM each other on Twitter, form smaller private groups, or create even more complex schemes. Good luck stopping all of that. You talk about improving Ethos together — but how do you see that happening now? Before, people did R4Rs and triangles without harming anyone. They built their scores, brought in new members, explained the project, spread it across Twitter, made friends — essentially giving free promotion. They also left genuine feedback (positive or negative) for projects, so the teams behind them still got reviews. People actively voted for projects, helping them grow. Now? No R4Rs, no mutual-help groups… just reviews for influencers and projects, without getting any response back? Doesn’t seem like the best approach. Yes, there’s still the issue of someone having an empty Twitter but a 1600 score. But honestly — so what? It’s obvious when a score is inflated. That person still contributed to the project and spent their time. The real focus should be on blocking AI-generated reviews and preventing the rise of services that mass-produce them. If you suggest deleting all farmed reviews, then let’s be honest — about 80% of people would have to go, preferably starting from the top, where many with 1700+ scores clearly farmed via mutuals. You talk about fairness, but where did your score come from? People wrote to you simply because you’re a builder in Ethos, which is why you got such a high score. Looking at your Twitter, most posts have only 10–30 likes. Ethos positions itself as a reflection of your Twitter profile… something doesn’t quite match here. That’s my short take on the situation — without negativity. And to be clear, I like the project and the concept itself, but I believe the way it’s implemented still needs improvement.BuBBliK · 1268· 1y ago · neutral5
“Probable manipulation in yesterday's slash”I am pointing out buz, bread, premiumsatine and possibly others for possible manipulation of yesterday's slash in the last minutes 1. Buz said in the comments that the slash wasn't deserved, but in the last minutes he voted for the slash > https://discord.com/channels/1230729763170287647/1230729764738695282/1485476139408560289 2. Coincidentally, at the same time, two more core supporters and friends of Ethos also voted for the slash There could be more, but for now im only pointing at these two since I've heard their names as Ethos supporters. 3. Coincidentally, these three votes from Ethos friends changed the outcome from being defended to failed 4. The defend side was at 60.6%, after these votes in end minutes it dropped to 57.5% 5. One of these core supporter also mentioned in a comment that there is tool to track votes on a slash, but the team asked not to make it public (though i know it can be tracked onchain) > https://discord.com/channels/1230729763170287647/1230729764738695282/1485273524766511195 6. When called out in discord, the so called core supporter first said he voted for the slash because the defend side was manipulating votes. 7. When asked if that means he also responded with manipulation, his reason changed. He then said his view changed over two days after his earlier comment (funny haha) I don't have any proof, and it's not possible for me to access any private group even if it exists But if Serpin's latest slash is considered justified (since they all votes slash) based on accusations, then this review should also be considered valid only based on accusions [core supporter did good work btw, they saved score of their founder]HumanBot · 1466· 7mo ago · negative3
