[bisq-network/proposals] Action Protocol for Mediators (#307)

[Conza]

> Oversimplifying can be unjust and there are differences in the severity which should be considered. Also the motivation of the trader must be taken into consideration, if he presumably had bad intentions or if he was just careless.

Agree with this.

>From Hoppe's Property, Causality, and Liability:
> Clearly, while “objective” (external, observable) criteria must play an important role in the determination of ownership and aggression, such criteria are not sufficient. In particular, defining aggression “objectivistically” as “overt physical invasion” appears deficient because it excludes entrapment, incitement and failed attempts, for instance. Both the establishment of property rights and their violation spring from actions: acts of appropriation and expropriation.
> 
> However, in addition to a physical appearance, actions also have an internal, subjective aspect. This aspect cannot be observed by our sense organs. Instead, it must be ascertained by means of understanding (verstehen). **The task of the judge cannot-by the nature of things-be reduced to a simple decision rule based on a quasi-mechanical model of causation. Judges must observe the facts and understand the actors and actions involved in order to determine fault and liability.**

So whilst the guidance helps.. if it's pretty clear someone is scammer/being deliberately deceptive/fraudulent etc. then the punishment should be far worse (to the extent they lose everything), that should be possible to enact. 

> It's great to have clear guidelines on how to deal with cases. I think this will lead to mediators having an easier time and a more consistent mediation experience for bisq users. I support this effort.

Agreed for sure. Don't quite understand Clearwater's explosiveness. 

**"Buyer does not respond to mediator for 48 hours"** = just to call this out as an example... there needs to be a ton of ownership taken by Bisq itself for not properly facilitating stuff like this. I have several git's looking to improve this woeful UX. 
There is no prompt or notifications, no clear cut obvious indication someone has been informed that there is a message to respond to. Should be aiming to remove all these 'excuses', because they truly could just forget... and the waiting message is buried given poor UX.
