Except no one is being hurt by using SEO techniques that Google doesn’t like. The algo is treating all sites the same.

Alan,
Anyone outing another site isn’t “self regulating” they’re trying to embarrass Google into regulating that specific site.

If the only repercussions of being outed were a dinged reputation in the SEO community (the only place we can self regulate) that would be a whole different story. Instead people outing others are complaining loud enough to get Google to take an action their algo doesn’t already handle.

You mention fairness, but why should one site who has been outed be treated differently than another site that hasn’t? If the algo doesn’t handle it, it’s not our place to force other sites to adhere to even higher standards.
