what i suspect they are frustrated do to fact they have a escrow biz and i am not using them
I highly doubt that's the case here. I'm not exactly sure who's doing most of the escrow business on the forum (never having used one myself), but I don't think the members who negged you did it because of perceived competition.
i am not going to use anyone as escrow ,i am going to escrow my self as i can't trust anyone with people's money ,i started that betting service topic so i am responsible to keep peoples eth safe....pretty much my reputation on the line .
That's your point of view, but you have to be able to see the situation from other people's viewpoint. When someone is dealing with other people's money, their refusal to use an escrow sets off lots of red flags in the community. Why? Because there have been so many scams over the years, which is why the need to use escrow evolved in the first place. You'll even see campaign managers/owners getting negged for not escrowing funds for their campaign participants, so don't take this personally and think there's some reason why you're being targeted other than the fact that you won't escrow funds.
spy - you cannot escrow for yourself- look at the trust of Quickseller when he did.
Exactly, and if I had a link to that whole debacle I would provide it....but I don't know where the thread is anymore.
Trust from five years ago is hardly relevant anymore. If you are still the same physical person, your financial situation could have changed.
That's true, plus some of the feedbacks have no reference threads anyway.
