I prefer @0xbitcoiner take on this. What I like of SN is that it tries to develop the community around an internal economy logic and best results will be achieved if we stick to that: no scolding, but incentives. If we require scolding, it means there are no incentives, so the problem is somewhere else. In this case what's failing is the financing scheme, for which my take is the one I replied to @0xbitcoiner comment.
Don't get me wrong on "no scolding", my emphasis on incentives also consider negative incentives: gain and loss. That's the proper compass.
"Scolding" is tongue-in-cheek. I actually want people to realize that the incentives are to zap more, because they'll get it back in rewards and it helps support the entire ecosystem.
Edit: To the extent that I am actually scolding anyone, it's for not understanding the incentives. People can be as miserly as they want, afaic.

Oh don't worry! I got it that way, don't worry :P
What I meant was that nothing but the incentives can talk, if we seek for a long-term viable strategy. Posting to motivate people can be a nice companion, but can't be the strategy in itself, it will wear out quickly, even with the best of intentions on the other side.

That's my feeling exactly. What I'm trying to do is nudge people towards the incentivized behavior, because bitcoiners have strong biases that keep them well below it.

You did well at reporting the issue. 99% of us are not territory owners so we just assume everything is ok. Now that we know it's not, it's time to set up a proper scheme.
