Sorry for the kinda tangential post, but this made me laugh - game-protect got spammed by another trust spammer:

If I am correct, that guy is not the first one who advertise through trust page.

Bumping this because in the 11 days since he has left another 15 negative feedback's for people who supported the flag against him, or spoke out against him.
Yes, I know stop feeding the troll.

But I really think it's time to get some mods on board with a nice ban for him.

Well, there’s this to go by:

Quote from: theymos on April 05, 2014, 10:08:38 AM

Trust spam isn't allowed. If I see anyone posting dozens of fake trust ratings (from one account or many alt accounts), I will delete all of their ratings <…>
I agree that it is a little annoying to see a wall of negative ratings, but this is in the "untrusted" section. The way things are set up currently, untrusted ratings can be easily spammed in a number of ways. That's why those ratings are hidden by default.

The quote is from 2014, so it’s a long standing complaint that crops up every now and then due to childish retaliation feedback, or spamming otherwise on the Trust feedback.

Exactly. Had I gotten one about the wolfbet sig, something about it it might not be legit because of "X" reason. I most likely would have ignored it. Even if he tagged everyone in the campaign. But calling it illegal, the retaliatory trust spam, the walls of text have gotten to be an issue.

Makes you wonder if a straight timer would work:
You can leave 1 feedback per hour, counted from your last feedback.
For every current DT 1 member that leaves you negative feedback that adds an hour to that count.
theymos (and people he trusts) can set your feedback timer to whatever they want that with no restrictions.
And done.
You want to leave 100+ feedbacks after getting dinged by just 2 DT 1 members that's 300+ hours assuming you never miss the window to post.

You want to leave a wall of spam, great it's going to take you weeks. By then some mod or someone else can take a look before it gets to this point. Would be a quicker fix.

None of this would help the current situation but could make the mods life easier in the future.

I don't think anyone has ever been banned for spamming feedback on trust walls. I do recall theymos deleting some feedback by some dumbass who spammed thousands of lines on multiple user's trust walls, but other than that I don't recall anything happening in regards to control or act against spam/retaliatory/troll-based/garbage feedback. And the reason for little to no action is because the trust feedbacks are supposed to left unmoderated to avoid collusion related crap.

May be theymos needs to do this exception for GP too. Lately he (GP) turned to be a celebrity of the forum. :-P

I did give him a negative and I excluded him from my trust list.

His trust rating,

I do not think anymore neg is going to do anything for him. He seems do not care about all at all.

I think Theymos ought to consider banning him and perhaps removing his spam feedbacks.

I know theymos banned someone named John K or something long ago (can not remember it much). He can do the same for GP too or at least restrict him to leave feedback for others and remove the existing feedback he left for others.

Something seriously needs to be done against him.

@DaveF, sorry bud. I totally forgot about it earlier. Good work.

Here's the catch though, the more we discuss about his recent behavior the more he becomes popular and what ever he's promoting gets popular. So far his feedback hasn't had any effect so they are just one of those worthless troll feedbacks (atleast that's what I consider those he left on my account to be). A retaliation either won't help matters.

I would suggest a suspension on his account, disabled his ability to leave feedback on accounts and possibly delete every other feedbacks he have left especially the most recent which don't have any reasonable backings.

Let me start with I *know* I should let this go and not feed the trolls. I know it, I can feel it in my bones just ignore him.

BUT, I do think there should be some kind of discussion about what is permitted and what is not.

You aren't rambling, my man, and it's gotten past the point where people should just ignore him--and you can't exactly put your own feedback on ignore anyway. Usually negs from non-DT members can be safely ignored, but game-protect is going above and beyond what's acceptable, especially since some folks see him to be one of the good guys (don't know why that is).

I did give him a negative and I excluded him from my trust list. I don't know about supporting that flag, because I haven't read the entire scam accusation against him and I'm not completely sure he's a scammer. But he's certainly a trust spammer and he's doing some damage to people's reputation which isn't justified. I think Theymos ought to consider banning him and perhaps removing his spam feedbacks.

But for some reason with this one I can't.

So with the above being said.
game-protect has now left over 100 negative feedbacks to anyone who dares to
1) Support the flags against him
2) Participate in a signature campaign that he does not like.
3) Make any negative comment against him.

Take a look here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=874254

Yes, I got 3 from him.
Since he has massive negative trust and is 99.999% never going to make it onto any trust list it really does not matter.

However,

Is there a limit to what will be tolerated?

I think there is and he went way past it.

If @theymos or any staff says no he didn't then I will listen to them, let it go, and ignore gp.

BUT, I do think there should be some kind of discussion about what is permitted and what is not.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.
