marlboroza is using reverse-enginering to make the flag fit the accusation...

I don't see it the way OP see it. I'll pick one random flag (Plutonium):
Due largely to the factors mentioned in this topic
Ponzies are mentioned in that topic
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--1046791.

The only two times the word Ponzi are mentioned in the Opening Post by Quickseller is in this first paragraph:
[quote author=Quickseller link=topic=1046791.msg11275421#msg11275421 date=1430686502]
TheGambler has run many HYIP/
ponzi sites over the years. Research into his identity has caused me to believe that he has been running scam sites since at least 2012, however I think they probably go back to ~2010. He is known by some as
moreia, by others as
Spoodermen, he seems to think his "main" account is TheGambler. He has scammed at least 15
BTC on bitcointalk, however the amount is likely at least 4 times
(by my guesstimate) as much considering it is difficult to know the exact amount he scammed on most of his HYIP/
ponzis. He has been described by some as the plague to the community, he is a serial scammer.

Quickseller lists Plutonium as an alt, but makes no connection between the accused (TheGambler) and Plutonium. (and he's already "guestimating" ... not offering facts)
What Quickseller actually said was:
The "he" being the subject of the op - TheGambler. There is no breakdown of which user allegedly did what much less offer proof of connections.
and guests would be well-advised to avoid doing so
Indeed, guests and everyone, because Plutonium is ponzi scammer, as it is visible in thread linked above.
This determination is based on concrete red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with, and it is not based on the user's opinions.
Connection between other accounts might or might not be true (I did not check everything yet) but this is irrelevant for this flag. Relevant factor is that they are ponzi scammer which is, again, mentioned in QS's thread. Evidence of scamming exist.
I actually see flags that should be supported, not bashed.
Again, marlbaroza is using reverse-enginering logic to make the flag fit the accusation. Quickseller hasn't proven the connection between the subject of the thread and those he claims are alts, so the flag was ... "
If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP. People who are habitually wrong, even not knowingly, should also be removed."
Given marboroza has already
started a thread asking us to distrust him it's little surprise he has only now gone back and supported the flag all these weeks later. He doesn't have anything to loose by supporting a flag that was created incorrectly.
by my guesstimate Quickseller, trigger happy to be seen to have mended his ways has created a flurry of Flags, then has read the fine print and has stopped creating flags in the hope no one would notice the thread supporting the flags does not hold up to scrutiny.
Somebody feel free to PM @theymos to come have a look at this thread... and feel free to audit my own Flags (if you-know-who) hasn't already tried it.
