I never said anything about bribing, I said that you should ask Lauda about a cost,
Do you not see the contradiction in that? If there is a cost involved in removing the tag then that is a form of bribery irrespective of whether that cost is financial or community service. I think this lack of understanding is the root of all your current problems.
I wouldn't defend anybody if they are guilty.
If a lawyer adopted that approach then they would have just appointed themselves as judge and jury as well.
There is no contradiction, when you give the power for removing the tag or giving the tag to a person it could be easily abused, just like they are all abusing it, they would tag anybody they want and nobody is stopping them. I want to know if this is a sanctioned policy by this forum or not? if this is supported by forum then Bitcoin forum is no more.
Judge and jury are DT2 members here, I am offering to be a lawyer, only one case and that seemed to be a guilty one in my opinion, if you have another idea then you should say it. I believe that at least 3 reputable members need to step in for any case and if they say that a tag is well deserved we should move on, but this is not an acceptable method to use by forum, they would include somebody on DT2 and would give them power over everybody else. When some of the reputable members get involved and vote against a neg trust, DT2 member wouldn't care about their opinions and would keep the tag on.
I believe in consensus voting just like the system we have with Bitcoin, however in the forum we need somebody who is neutral at all times, I'm trying to be that person, I want to have a chance at helping people. I'd want to have a voice that actually matters, after doing a few cases we could establish if I am really neutral or not. but this is just the start of my work and suchmoon tagged me even before I start doing it. I'd call that abuse of power.
You need to see what I'm saying here, whether I ask for money or doing it for free, what I am doing is the right thing IMHO. look at the results of my work in progress, if I had any power which I don't have unfortunately, we could punish abusers of power as soon as they have abused their power, in time none of the DT members would leave negative trust inaccurately on people. I want to achieve that goal.
If I see that somebody is guilty, I wont take their case, only would give them advice. I'm not a crook lawyer to take the money from criminals and innocents alike.
Do you doubt my judgement? please tell me where do you think I was wrong and let me to provide my reasons, given enough time you'll see that my judgement is sound. don't ask about my own tags because I have provided enough reasons as to why they are not legit in reputation threads.
If there is no room for such a person in this system then I'd suggest that nobody trust anyone here, because cartels would operate this way, they wont allow for justice to be served.
