offensive posting style that has given me eye cancer  and inability to quote the small part of a massive thread.

I hardly see how this is reason for a red tag. Not debating the other part, I have no stake in this debate.

I said I will ponder about it, IE think about it and I decided against it as it would be unfair, although it did force the fool to learn how to quote properly



Since he is supposed to be mental and not you, I would appreciate (for my eyes, and eye cancer risks) for you to refrain from using such names.

he is a stupid fuck - I don't see how my language affects your eyes in any way shape or form.

Edit - I would suggest you reading the initial thread in my neg reference, a few minutes browsing it should lead you to come to the same conclusion as I, maybe without the bad language though!

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG
January 16, 2019, 10:27:25 AM
The current system appears to me more decentralized as it is.

Its also pretty cleaver.

DT-1 people who have lots of earned positive trust feedback (physical bitcoin collectors are at the top) these people have all been trusted with funds the majority of these trades without escrow
DT-2 the members that the above trust to look after the forum and protect the trust system and newbies from scammers

Many times better than a draconian system with a few members that Theymos trusted back in 2013. No longer is it a dictatorship, people who are trusted with funds are able to vote members in. Also what most people are ignoring is the onus that Theymos has put on people to set custom lists, if you don't like me or trust me then fucking exclude me - same for anyone else on DT-1, once this all goes through the wash and DT is expanded it will be interesting to see what the state of DT-1 is and how all the senior and trusted members have voted.


ill say it again, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SYSTEM SET A CUSTOM LIST. This is peoples chance to vote who is trusted and who isn't and once 50% of the forum is using custom lists then DT means fuck all anyway other than a guide to newbies (who wont be trading till they have an idea of how things  happen here anyway)



cleaver?

Well i see you personally admitted 2 accounts of trust abuse so far.

1. you admitted you left red trust for me relating facts.
2. you just threatened to leave me red trust for not using a posting format you considered easier to read.

Get these types of abusers off of the DT list before it becomes a laughing stock.

proof can be provided.

I'm not tagged or in the run to be DT.

So why not express your voice with your original account? What do you fear exactly.

I didn't see much intimidation yet. Maybe a bit of heated debate.

You showed that your logic is invalid, I hardly see you get tagged or something like that if you had posted it with your main account.

DT1s :
-Should have earned at least 750 merits (number to raise with time)
-Should have an activity of at least 800
-Should be trusted by one of the admins

The basis of the DT system is the aggregation of unique feedback from many users. If you don't have feedback and you have activity and merit, how will it help other users to determine trust in a particular user?

Why not put all this to a vote, a vote in which untagged members with at least a certain amount of earned merits (20,30,50...I don't know) would participate?
I mean, you've just suggested exactly how the new system works. Any member with more than 10 merits gets to vote in who they want to be DT1. The more merit you have, the more user you can vote for. Just because you don't like the outcome of a vote, doesn't mean the entire system is invalid. The whole point of the system is to not have theymos handpicking a few DT1s. If there is anyone he really doesn't want on the DT1 list, he can still blacklist/remove them, so you can assume he is it at least somewhat happy with the current voted in list.

Of course I'm an alt but no I'm not tagged or in the run to be DT.
This thread is 30 pages long of intimidation so I think it's wiser for me to use an alt. I'm just a regular member.
That doesn't mean my points can't be taken into consideration.

I think this is too much change at once.
There are too many new faces as DTs, this will become a mess, there will be too much retaliation between people, too many tags given without thinking.
Look at this discussion. The fact that everyone's list is public brings a lot of drama.
But I suspect this is what Theymos wanted.

 I think the criterias should be much more selective.

DT1s :
-Should have earned at least 750 merits (number to raise with time)
-Should have an activity of at least 800
-Should be trusted by one of the admins

DT2s :
-Should have earned at least 500 merits
-Should have an activity of at least 800 as well (no newbies please, they have no idea of the responsibility this is)
-Sould be trusted by at least 2 DT1s

I understand that Theymos wants the merit criteria to be taken into account and I agree with that but the rest is way too subjective. The DTs should be established members who know this place and will take their job seriously, not new guys who will be on a power trip and tag everyone on sight.


So you want us to believe you understand what the Trust Network is, what activity is and what merits are, having joined the forum just today?

MY RED TRUST LEFT BY SCUMBAGS - READ MY SIG
January 15, 2019, 03:33:41 PM
Since lot of new face on DT network, I am expecting a suggestion's/motivational post from old DT members. To be honest lot of here even don't know where should leave what kind of feedback. So if there is few suggestion's then we can learn from it especially who is totally new.  
Here's some quick advice:
1) For positive feedback: Be very conservative.
2) For negative feedback: Be strict and follow the general standards (what we tag for and what we don't tag for).
3) For trust lists: Not that important unless you are DT1, but I'd say be even more conservative than 1).

Well seems you don't stick by those standards at all.

I presented evidence that you lied and said I would encourage persons to examine your history .......... you then gave me red trust.

Only those that have wrong doing in their past history would view encouraging people to look back at it a bad thing. Do you have things to hide? well the fact you lied with financial motivation is there in black and white. Can't weasel out of that.

Then the 2 others involved/implicated in your extortion scheme tman and owlcatz both gave me red trust for saying you are an abuser of the trust system and again presenting evidence that you are indeed a financially motivated liar.

One of your idiot friends tman admitted in black and white he gave me red trust because I presented facts about you

Unless you can find one lie that I have posted about you then you need to remove my red trust.

The funny thing is you rushed to a thread without me even asking you to prior to all of this to accuse me of being a liar and when I said produce the evidence you did not.

So you are a fool, liar, trust abuser with double standards. That is without all the other shady stuff you are implicated in....

This is on topic so I don't expect it to be removed from this thread.

You can not have a proven liar and abuser of the trust system telling others how to use the trust system when clearly not following his own advice.

Well, we almost made it a week with the new trust system before newly appointed DT members were connected to a large scam (>$70,000)...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fortunejack-casino-refuses-to-pay-20-btc-won-from-jackpot-5097164

20 BTC jackpot not paid out to a user playing by the rules. DT member wearing a paid signature from the accused scam site rushing to defend it in spite of having the exact opposite opinion on previous similar cases.

I think it's a bit early to call that a scam or accusing people of defending a scam. Please try to refrain from starting more drama over nothing.

Not too early to defend your signature advertiser though, right?  Please try to refrain from downplaying someone's loss of >$70,000.

Hmmm.... Betcoin.... Hmmm...

I actually agree with you, they were extremely similar.  I was harassed constantly by several members in multiple channels outside of this forum until I removed the signature, which I did before my agreed advertisement period.  Probably the only time I've ever gone against my word on this site.  Luckily, Betcoin was horrified by the allegations and understanding of me wanting to remove the signature for any perceived damage to my reputation that wearing it might have caused even though I only had it for a matter of days and they had positive trust when I agreed to it.

Betcoin maybe? Not even remotely similar.

Lauda however doesn't agree with you, because of the obvious hypocrisy.
