Anyway, I replaced my neg with a neutral now that half of the reason for it is no longer valid.

Which half are you still concerned about?

I guess I know it.

1st half was the negative feedback you left for me, which I believe is solved.

2nd half is your approach towards the privacy of users, which he is still concerned about.

I am just stating my own understanding though.

I am in no rush to lock the topic, please proceed with any discussions you may want. Having it publicly helps everyone actually for future reference. I will lock it once I see that there is no discussion going on for sometime.

The reason I started tagging abusers when they post allegations is for my personal use. A surprising number of them come back and post something else in our thread and the feedback is there to remind me who I am talking to. I started doing that a long time before I somehow got included in DT.

I'm seriously baffled by this. This is the second presumably otherwise reputable and sane person within the last couple of weeks saying that they use red trust as their own personal notebook. Do you really not see an issue with this? Neutral is there for this exact use case.

Maybe I didn't explain it fully. I only tag people who I am 100% certain have stolen from us. I think that theft is a valid reason to distrust someone.

The part I expressed above is simply that a long time ago I didn't bother doing it and an account came back complaining about being banned many months later I didn't realise it was the same abuser I had caught before.


Anyway, I replaced my neg with a neutral now that half of the reason for it is no longer valid.

Maybe we could discuss it in PM so savetheFORUM can lock the thread.

@savetheFORUM I didn't realise I was currently in DT. Ironically, I used to bounce in and out depending on suchmoon winning the DT1 lottery but they removed me from their list some time ago. I have my own trust list so I don't really pay to much attention to DT anymore.

Thank you to everyone for getting involved, may I please lock the thread? I will wait for 24 hours and if there is no further discussion, I would like to lock the thread as all the doubts are cleared but I agree with suchmoon that feedbacks from DT should be given more sincerely.

You could have also had more patience and waited for my answer before tagging me.

Like I also replied in PM, I left you feedback based on the proofs I had collected, and it was neutral, not negative. Added to that, I am not part of DT and you know being part of the Default Trust brings more responsibility. If I leave feedback it hardly matters but if you do the same, the person in question loses his reputation. Suchmoon's negative on you is an example of how it must hurt you while so many others left for you, you won't be concerned about them. Right?

I understand the situation and have no problems as long as you understand that posting even fake puppet emails which belong to a user on your website, is not the right choice. If someone accuses you and the community asks you, then you can maybe PM some trusted member with all the details.

@suchmoon, I don't know if I have any credibility but I suggest and rather request you to remove the feedback because after a small discussion TheQuin seems like a very understanding and reasonable person. they made the information public just to clear their part.

Thank you for giving me a retaliatory feedback.

"Wants to suppress information that might help others combat theft and fraud. I did not post data of users, they were email addresses and fingerprints of a bot designed to steal from free giveaways."

How would I or anyone know that they are not real emails? Now that you answered I am removing my feedback but you should have more partience Smiley

The term "retaliatory feedback" has always baffled me. If someone leaves feedback then their trust wall is the only place most people will see a repudiation. You could have also had more patience and waited for my answer before tagging me.



As an aside, I do believe that anyone abusing the service forfeits the right to privacy. We plan to update our ToS soon and the draft our lawyers have written includes that provision. When it is introduced everyone using the service will have to explicitly accept that if they are caught cheating they can be publically identified by us.

And if wrongly accuse someone, will you be able to scrub their dox from the internet?

I don't see what this could possibly achieve against actual cheaters who like you said use VPN and fake e-mails.

I think you are missing the context here. Someone first contacted me by PM about not being able to access their account. When I replied to them and showed them proof that it was one of 409 abusive accounts they had used over a number of years to steal from us they responded by posting a scam accusation against me.

Even under that pressure I deliberately did not dox them and have not revealed their real email and IP address which I know. What I actually published was the proof I needed to rebut their false allegation. The account they claimed was theirs was one of 36 accounts with the same fingerprint and the same referrer that have all played 24 free rolls everyday since they were signed up. Nobody can stay awake 24/7 for 5 months. The IP addresses listed all belong to Amazon Web Services. (You can buy IP databases that categorise and identify owns the addresses).

I am not making any threat to dox people. I am trying to ensure that I have the right of reply to show that I have evidence of theft that makes it fact beyond all reasonable doubt.



Freebitco has years of reputation and it's hard to imagine that they will scam. I am confident that this is something TheQuin did not realize before. Let him/her give time to reconsider the matter.

Doxing people poses a risk to their safety and security.  Maybe he won't scam anyone but he has admitted that if he suspects you of cheating his site he'll dox you.  That makes using his service "High Risk" which is exactly what a red-tag is designed for.

Not to mention, almost all of TheQuin's reviews since October 2019 are for the abuse of of his service (real or perceived, I won't judge.)  There seems to be a conflict of interest for someone on DT2.  And, as suchmoon already mentioned, what's the point?  They're all throwaway newbie accounts, so it's not like those reviews are preventing the abuse of his service.

Again that is unfair. I didn't say if I suspect someone I will dox them. If I am 100% certain that cheating has occurred and I am publically challenged to prove it I might need to reveal some information as evidence.

The reason I started tagging abusers when they post allegations is for my personal use. A surprising number of them come back and post something else in our thread and the feedback is there to remind me who I am talking to. I started doing that a long time before I somehow got included in DT.



For the record I do feel that TheQuin's red on savetheforum and suchmoon's red on TheQuin should be neutrals. The chance of somebody having a fingerprint the same as a bunch of Chrome scripts is near zero (these aren't browser fingerprints we're talking about: these presumably also take registration date and IP addresses into account as well).

Also for the record, I left feedback on savetheforum before I found this thread because it seemed like my only right of reply. The misunderstanding has now been cleared up and as they are no longer falsely stating that I revealed personal information. Both feedbacks are now gone.

I'm not going to say exactly what we fingerprint but the chances of 2 accounts generating the same one are roughly 400000:1 so the chances of 36 accounts with the same referrer are next to zero. In that referral list you'll also see a number of other repeating fingerprints of old bots that are no longer active.
eg There are 159 instances of 44d5c6bcd5946838f0519b64ead39187 and 111 instances of 24928d04ea98d617286d922a5422afa3



The feedbacks you received are perfect examples of the misconception of the trust system

TheQuin's feedback is invalid to me. it doesn't mean I'm at risk of getting scammed if I deal with you. By the way, email address are also considered as personal data, no matter if it was used to use a bot on a site

The 2 others are also incorrect. There is nothing wrong with creating an alt account (whatever it's true or not I don't care much), and spreading hate is a subjective term but still not suitable for negative feedback. Otherwise, we could also red tag the trolls

There is something wrong with creating alt accounts for the purpose of cheating free giveaways in Games and Rounds which is what I have shown they have done in the reference link. I think that anyone running a free giveaway is in danger of being scammed by these accounts.

I disagree about the email addresses. If someone signs up a load of email accounts for the purpose of pretending to be multiple people that don't exist that can't be personal information.

I believe everyone has the right to say what he thinks, if I agree or disagree doesn't matter. If we all agree in this world, life will become boring

That I can agree with.

Or just prevent registration from all domain names used by fake email generators. It's easy to get a list of those the more popular ones are using.
I don't think it's solution. If you check list of abusers, you'll see that most are using major email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, Yandex and so on. I saw some sites don't allow to signup using certain email providers, such as throwaway Yopmail, maybe Freebitco.in are doing same.

As an aside, I do believe that anyone abusing the service forfeits the right to privacy. We plan to update our ToS soon and the draft our lawyers have written includes that provision.

I'm against all these abusers, but this thing doesn't sounds good. With all privacy stuff and things like GDPR, I don't think that it can work. And what if someone will be accused incorrectly? You will be responsible for doxed private data.

But at the end of the day, it is me who got the worst by creating this thread. It takes time and efforts to gather and report something wrong. You speak against someone who is part of DT - immediate negative trust.

Not fair to be honest, but I believe it's their last card when they don't have arguments anymore.
At the same time, why should you care? I mean the account you're currently using is not your main account

I don't know if theymos is involved in the abuse of power or not but right now it is near impossible for someone new to the forum to speak against old members. This idea of making the trust system decentralized is actually making it worst than some of the centralized forum. At least with centralization comes more honesty.

Nah, Theymos is certainly not involved in any way and the trust system isn't really the problem. The problem is the mentality around

Make some friends and become DT, then just abuse the power. Good luck everyone with the way this forum is heading, we might soon see corruption in the forum and scammers tagging victims.

I see what you mean and it's probably true regarding some persons, but members outside the DT network have also the possibility to cast their vote by excluding members

You know that because you have read the whole thread but if I try to offer some services now, do you really think the buyer/customer has time to visit my profile and read this whole thread? I don't think so.

Even without reading.
Firstly because I don't consider seriously any feedback given without a reference link or sometimes don't even read it, or take in with a grain of salt.
Now imagine you're selling something and I'm interested in and I see your feedback. Then what? I don't give a fuck because I'm not concerned and not at risk of losing money more than with another member.
However, I would ask to use an escrow but it's only about your rank nothing related to the feedbacks received.

The misuse of the trust system creates a lot of tensions that are not at all necessary. It remembers me some time ago I have seen a user receiving red tags for simply a misunderstood joke. Can you believe it?

This is my only account

Bullshit.

I made a new account to at least safeguard main account.
That was quick LOL but of course that does not matter. Theymos gave us this option and it is perfectly fine to have an alt if anyone wants to hide their identity aka their main account.

For the record, everyone should know that I messaged their campaign manager Hampuz and asked him to comment, he has just ignored it unfortunately maybe because he is busy. This is something everyone must know, so I am sharing.
I do not think he has anything to do here. If he feels to give an opinion that's up to him but if he don't then no one can enforce him and start judging him.

Yes at that time my main account was Jr member and didn't wanted to risk it, now this account itself is a junior so doesn't make sense to post from that or this.

I can assure you, I have not posted from that account anywhere close to what I have posted with this one since then.

Even though I strongly believe that savethewhatsit is a useless sockpuppet who should be posting from their main account.

This is my only account, either I should remain quiet or I had to wait for years to rank up and post the thread? I don't like either of them.

A newbie talking sense is better than a legendary member talking bullshit. Don't you think so?

How about the lawyers and TOS bit? That's gotta be one of the most absurd pseudo-legal threats we've seen here, and that's considering all the shitty casinos with their KYC nonsense etc. I have a feeling it might be against the law in some countries too.

Even though I strongly believe that savethewhatsit is a useless sockpuppet who should be posting from their main account, I also strongly believe that red trust for opinions, criticism, and even trolling is a big no no. Normally it's worth just a tilde but a business using this kind of DT abuse "strategy" combined with disregard for privacy is worth a red (well, mildly orange really) rating. You may disagree that this constitutes "high risk" and tilde me instead, which is perfectly fine too.

That can be prevented by only posting if the IPs belong to data centers. No cheater with a brain runs a large farm from their residential IP address.


Whether someone uses the same email anywhere or not, whether their IP is real or not, it should NOT be published on a public forum.



We plan to update our ToS soon and the draft our lawyers have written includes that provision. When it is introduced everyone using the service will have to explicitly accept that if they are caught cheating they can be publically identified by us.

So, if my kid opens an account on your site, refers me and other family members, and we all access the site from our home IP...

Anyway, thanks for the warning!  Roll Eyes


Then your kid, you and your family will be doxed on the forum because as per theQuin "anyone abusing the service forfeits the right to privacy" and since your kid made a mistake, you will pay for it by getting your identity known to everyone and tagged as a criminal. Some even say that the country might take away all the passports from you guys and you lose the right to vote, because you abused a faucet. lmao



This is not good.
Leaving negative feedback because user had their opinion is straight forward an abuse of feedback system. This seize the right of freedom of speech. When you are on DT you need to be very careful about others reputation.  

That is right and the negative trust sounds like "how dare you speak against us, we have deep roots in the DT"

very nice to see others stepping up for something clearly wrong.

I didn't even call them scammer or something like that while they directly left me negative feedback and didn't bother clearing the situation.

I would suggest TheQuin:

1. to remove the negative on savetheFORUM
2. Remove all these information on pastebin
3. Don't even think about this 👇👇👇 kind of terms.

You have built up a business over the years, please do not ruin it very fast.

I am not very quick to leave red tags but if it needed then I too will have the same as suchmoon after few days. It's very risky to be with Freebitco if TheQuin do not chance his/her mind.

It's better to just share the info with other casinos' abuse teams instead of dumping it on a pastebin that almost nobody will read (let alone take action on).

Or even better just close the accounts of cheaters like all other casinos do.

Anyway, I think it's wrong for you to post email addresses and IPs in public.  If you have to do so to provide evidence for your reviews, create a thread in the Investigations Board for that.  At the very least the data won't be scraped by search engines, and newbies won't have access to it.  There's always the possibility that you could be wrong, and if I were the one being doxxed due to an error I wouldn't take that lying down.
