My trust was adjusted after 5 months, thanks to Hillariousandco for that. I sent him an appeal for karma removal one time each month. I tried to be helpful on the forum and help to fight with spam as other high members suggested in my reputation thread. I have reported more as 1115 spam posts and other forum abuse like scam, plagiarism, bots, ref. link, off top, etc. with 100% of accuracy. Answered a lot of newbie questions and finally got positive trust for that (first time in my 6 years on this forum).
I thought I will share this information before I will close this topic to let others know how this case ended and what can you do in such a situation. I have searched for such a topic with answers but I haven't found any when was needed and had to learn from my mistakes.
So here is what I learned from this lesson and mistakes I have done.
1. If you got red trust wait few days before posting to your tagger if he was not so kind to inform you about this.
2. Read twice what you have written before sending your PM because this is your only chance every next PM sent in next 7 days will be seen as spam and you will be ignored.
3. Think twice before opening your reputation thread.
4. Are you not guilty or made a mistake, ok then, go and open your thread if there is no other way around but remember you can get even more red paint.
5. Be calm and polite, they will bring hell on you, don't fight them, try to defend yourself wisely and explain everything calmly even few times.
6. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I wish you luck with your reputation threads dear Bitcointalkers.
Topic: How to remove negative trust? (from Hilariousandco) (Read 1323 times)
What do you expect to this man? ...
Thank you very much for your comment in my reputation thread, but please hold to the topic which is my negative reputation. If you want to discuss with The Pharmacist your trust please create your own topic and he will respond for sure.
Like I said before and will repeat one more time. The Pharmacist is an asset to this forum and even after he tagged me I was still supporting him because I believed that I'll be able to talk and explain myself. I was right and my reputation is adjusted so maybe you are doing something wrong or your approach to explaining your case isn't good. I don't know.
One more thing. You said that everybody has an alt on BTT. Again, not true because I have no alt and I don't need it. If you don't want to abuse the system, there is no need for an alt if you are a regular member. If you are a mod or running any sort of promotion or campaign then there is a possibility that these members could create an alt and there is nothing wrong with that.
I agree i did something wrong with my alts,but if you are going to give me one more chance,i would prove myself to you.
You're not going to prove anything here. The only thing you'll do, which is what all spammers do, is to learn how not to get caught. If I remove my trust on your accounts, what's going to happen? You'll put them right back into bounties and resume spamming again. And if you're not going to do that, what's the point of you asking me to remove my trust?So, no. It's not going to happen. Nobody here wants the consequences of their actions--they just want the rewards, and they want to continue doing whatever it was that got them in trouble in the first place.
Look at what you're doing here: You're using all of your alts to post these cries for mercy, and you're sending me PMs on top of that. There's nothing but trouble for the forum if I were to give you a second chance. I'm also done discussing this with you.
What do you expect to this man? he aint got balls to admit that he doesnt deserved to be DT member,i got red trust for having alt accounts which participated different bounties,he is doing things the way he wants.I hope this idiot is going to be removed in the DT members as soon as possible as he is going to be like LAUDA,having their own rules,
tell me if he doesnt have any alt acconts here?
I found your alt accounts because you used them to make posts consecutively in the same thread, and they were all shitposts. That makes you a spammer, and such behavior is directly toxic to the forum as a whole. What you were engaging in makes it a lot harder to find good posts, because you have to look at and decide to skip over your posts, and that uses up valuable eyeball time and attention span. You did this so you could profit, and you couldn't care less if what you wrote made any sense, much less contributed anything useful (which it absolutely didn't).tell me if he doesnt have any alt acconts here?
You can keep bitching about your feedback, but it's clear you don't--and will never--agree with my arguments. I would suggest, however, that you take a look at how much support you're getting here and maybe consider whether the community agrees with my assessment of you. It's hard to take a honest and critical look at yourself, but sometimes it can be therapeutic.

snip.Edit: I'm taking pity on you and removing my feedback, but you have to realize what the rule is about quoting posts and not to be sloppy. Part of me thinks you made an honest mistake because of the way you prefaced your 'plagiarism'.
That is why after 110 days I wrote another post in my reputation thread and was tagged for "winning" by The Pharmacist.
No. It's "whining". You really have a problem with quoting things.I just try to explain what happened. If you know any different and better way to do it please tell me and I will do it.

No. It's "whining". You really have a problem with quoting things. @OP, could you start reporting garbage posts in Bitcoin discussion? start it now and report at least 200 garbage posts accurately. help them first to show that you deserve to be helped by them.
I already did and wrote about this when 90 days passed from red trust in PM to Hillariousandco, asking him to reconsider his decision and answer to my post. But I never got any message or reply to my thread.
That is why after 100 days I wrote another post in my reputation thread and was tagged for "whining" by The Pharmacist.
I don't think this is winning. I just try to explain myself. I have done all I can to avoid public debate. I wrote about this in my first post and few others. But when there is no reaction at all I post in my thread like any other forum user with negative reputation thread. I haven't seen anybody tagged for this.
I haven't found 100 spammers but I found 14 with 85% accuracy. Not only spammers but plagiarism, merit abuse, account farming, etc. All this in 2 months. I thought maybe this would be helpful to recover my trust. I'll search further maybe one day I find 100 abusers.
Thank you for advice.
UPDATE 29.04.2018
I was able in 2 days to find 270 abusers with an accuracy of 99%. I found all kind of forum rules abuse: spam, scam, spam bots, account farming, merit trading, off topic, ref. links, wrong forum section, etc.
Thanks one more time Digaran for this advise!!!
I'm giving you negative trust because you copy-pasted content. This is and should be bannable.
There are no rules about merit trading though a lot of people do find it unacceptable. However, that's now what I'm here to discuss. If you want to talk about refuting the plagiarized post then you can do so.
If you want to justify the post while at the same time reasoning why you would delete it, that would be well-appreciated.

I used quotation in begin when I created my post but when started to delete unneeded text inside quotes my post looks bad and my answer was inside the quotation. I didn't know what to do and after few attempts added "when in hurry" and told in my original post that "this answer is to find few posts above mine". I thought it would be enough because these answers were two or three posts before mine but on sooner page. Anyways, after users remind me that this could be forum rules abuse (next post after mine), after a discussion about what happened, I apologized and added an announcement in my post that I used content from other users and put their usernames. I did it few minutes after my original post and a few hours later I got red trust for "copy content from other users without proper attribution".
Finally, I deleted this post after few weeks because I thought this help to remove red trust. Luckily members quoted me few times during discussion and all is to find using links I'll provide or link which Hilariousandco refers to and posts after that. We have a discussion about this situation just after it happened and everything, what I'm now repeating here is true and to find in this posts.
Today, I know all about deleting posts, changing quote size, use strings or dots and snips but sooner, I didn't know too much about this because always quoted all text without deleting anything. This is easy to check, just look at my previous posts, before red trust.
I haven't plagiarized anybody (I think). I didn't do it on purpose only made a mistake by quotation and 5 minutes later fixed it.
Here links to posts where you can see that I have added an announcement to my post before Hilariousandco tagged me.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29079837 - random user post which proves that this issue was resolved
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29075734 - my original post
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29076243 - My last post where I am talking about an added announcement.
For better overview just read 20 posts after my with missing quote. You will have clear few of what happened.
If you want to know the story with my avatar and merits. Here is my explanation.
Avatar was copied from a legendary member Jeremycoin. He was very active in merits thread, where Hillariousandco tagged me. I thought this is a great way to let people know about merits and that I'll reward them for quality content. If a legendary member uses an avatar like this, I was sure this isn't a rules violation, especially together with my merit policy. The merit system was introduced few days sooner and there wasn't clear rules or restrictions. Jeremycoin was using this avatar a few days longer, with no merits policy at all, even after I pointed this out in my thread and in the PM to Hilariousandco. I don't see red trust given to him.
"Merits 4 smerits" says avatar but my merits policy in a signature and the private text says: "only for high-quality content, no merits in return, spam is not good". If avatar would be bigger I'll put all text inside but was too small and that's why I added a merits policy which I see in few high-rank users profiles. I wore this merit policy for 2 months.
Thank you Actmyname for the opportunity to defend and that you want to hear it.

I just snipped this quote because like I said before I don't expect that anybody will support me. I'm prepared to hear more insults and epithets because that's how some high-rank members behave in this forum.
Like I said 100 times before I never traded merits and that was not my intention. That is why I try to defend myself here. But this is impossible to win because I don't have an army of alts to vouch for me.
I see from your post that you didn't even bother to read this thread.
That isn't the first time that DT members are wrong. Yesterday I posted in a thread to support member painted red who tried to defend himself and just like in this reputation thread, members insulted him, called names, etc. but finally he won his trust back. Nobody said sorry to him. From the very beginning, I'm polite and friendly in my topics. Never insulted anybody so stop with calling names.
Funny that you will be tagged for so-called by some high-rank members "whining". Which is nothing more as an attempt to defend yourself or explain the situation. They don't answer for months and if you post your story they will tell that you are "childish and whining". If my questions were answered I would stop this thread immediately.
I haven't seen whining in forum rules, so why red trust?
Thank you for sharing your point of view.

I logged today to check what's new on BTT to find that I have even more negative trust.
I see that The Pharmacist tagged me for: "This user is childish and dishonest, as evidenced by his written thoughts on merit and his posts whining about negative feedback left by hilarious. Not to be trusted on bitcointalk". Which is totally not true and fabricated.

Not being a thief does not mean that you are "trustworthy".

One post I was not concentrating on and a silly mistake with avatar despite I have added a merit rule to my signature and never traded or got one merit in exchange from somebody. Who never makes mistakes?

The Pharmacist act like all I do is spamming, when I actually make good quality posts and I got even few merits lately despite my red trust. Few high-rank members evaluated my posts and they told me that I am writing a good quality content and advised me to open more topics to get merits faster. Nobody told me that I am a spammer or shitposter but now I am tagged for shitposting. Not true, just not true.
Spamming has nothing to do with trading merits. Snipping the rest of the post because its irrelevant. Go have a breath of fresh air from outside which you have been missing for "5 years" while on this forum. It will help you clear your mind.
I find OP to be extremely shady, untrustworthy, immature, and to top it all off, he's a shitposter. I've added trust accordingly.
Because he's guilty of what hilariousandco left him feedback for, and obviously so, his continued whining is indicative that he isn't honest and won't learn from "mistakes". He should be banned. Negative feedback only is a gift horse.

I found nothing in forum rules about negative trust for "whining" and I posted my thread because Hillariousandco never responded to my messages. Finally, he posted in my thread after months of waiting and I replied to defend myself. Posted my proofs because Hillariousandco said that I added an announcement after he tagged me and that isn't true. I added an announcement few minutes after my original post, stated that part of the content isn't properly quoted and added usernames of members involved.
After that, I haven't heard anything from Hillariousandco for 40 days and still, until today there is no response. I don't see anything inappropriate in my actions. I think if somebody gives you negative trust and you show evidence of your innocence or try to explain the matter, he should answer it. Especially when I waited calmly for so long. For me, it's hiding the head in the sand and not taking responsibility for actions. You can't demand that I'll not defend myself. For sure this isn't "whining" only normal reaction to surprising accusations.
My thread is open why The Pharmacist didn't share his opinion about my behavior here to give me some chance to change? Why red paint? I already been punished once!!! Like I said before in my posts when I was defending The Pharmacist on the forum that I like to read his point of view because sometimes his words influenced and were able to change my point of view. Why not this time?

In this post below, shared my story and The Pharmacist didn't paint me red back then because I was defending him in a topic: "Trust Spammer and Abuser "The Pharmist" Back on business". After few days he just forgets about this and tagged me, I think.
Why haven't you tagged me back then The Pharmacist? You answered to this post and not stated a word that I'm "whining, childish, dishonest, not to be trusted or shitposter". Why I can't be trusted now? What changed?

I see your answer BTCforJoe and I can't stop myself to share a different story with you.
Mistakes happen on this forum and not all DT trust members are so polite and willing to discuss their choices.
I was tagged by Hillariousandco more as 100 days ago for "Trading merit with those who leave him points as advertised via his avatar. Also copied content without proper attribution". My case is not resolved until today and Hillariousandco doesn't answer to my innocents' proofs from one month in my negative trust thread. Of course, I haven't traded or given in exchange even one merit and I have added an announcement to my post about missing quotation before Hillariousandco tagged me not after as he says.
As you see BTCforJoe you were lucky to be tagged by another member because I have written like you 4 PM's in 2 weeks to Hillariousandco. I was always very polite using words thank you, please, sorry and never got any reply. After that, I opened my reputation thread to prove that I am innocent.
...
...My situation is similar. I was tagged for an avatar I have copied from legendary member Jeremycoin and he was not tagged red despite I have written about this to Hillariousandco next day after it happened and I have posted about this in my reputation thread. This member used this avatar for a few days more and like I said before nobody tagged him. When I asked about this everybody seems to not see this question or just ignore it.
Even added a merit policy (Merits only for quality content, no merits in exchange, spam is not good) to my signature and avatar and worn it for about 2 months. Nothing helps I am still tagged. If this was such a crime why to punish only me?
I am on this forum 5 years frequently. Never rushed to achieve higher rank, never spammed (my first posts are not so good but I learned how to post quality content), never did anything wrong, never insult anybody or used offensive language (I know this is not in forum rules and is allowed but I'm proud of this), never got warning, etc.
I don't think I'm guilty. I don't fill guilty and I can do nothing. This is killing me every day because in my reputation thread high-rank users advised me: "you have to move on", "don't worry red trust is not the end of the world", "nobody looks on red trust". This all is not true. I was rejected several times for various projects and promotions on the forum because of red trust. I was involved in a discussion and member told me: " do something with your red trust first and then come back to talk here". It was humiliating for me and I have to admit that I'm ashamed when I post. I try to even avoid these subforums where you can see trust because I noticed that people do not treat you seriously with a red trust and you can forget about merits completely.
I have to add that I have seen The Pharmacist around the forum and I think that he is an asset with no doubt. Didn't know about his problems and that he is not in DT anymore. I think his posts are very valuable and high quality. I like to read his point of few because sometimes his words influenced the change of viewpoint by me. From what I saw lately, his judgments were accurate, I agree with them.

The Pharmacist:
"I didn't know that either. Wouldn't surprise me, though. The politics on bitcointalk are crazy, but I'd be interested to know who excluded me".
In trust comments, The Pharmacist left this: "...as evidenced by his written thoughts on merit and his posts whining about negative feedback left by hilarious...".I can't share my thoughts on merits because I can be and literally am tagged for this, despite I changed my opinion about merits and posted in favor of system lately.
The Pharmacist can say "...The politics on bitcointalk are crazy..." and this is ok? I can't share my thoughts but when DT member shares his negative thoughts about Bitcointalk everything is ok. These written thoughts aren't an evidence? No red trust for this?
Good luck to you all and stay away from d2 members they will nail you for whatever reason they want because someone decided to give them that power. One person can mess your entire career here.

I'm not sure how that could be misinterpreted. It was literally an advert to try trade merits. Stop trying to squirm out of taking responsibility for what you were attempting to do which was to exchange merits. And then there's the copy and pasting which you admitted to and you adding attribution once caught doesn't magically make it ok. Hilariousandco I have added an announcement about missed quotation before you tagged me, not after as you say.
This is very easy to prove and check. Just look at this thread you refer to. There are time stamps by each post and like I said hundred times before missed quotation was resolved just after it happened. User reminds me of that in next post (after mine without quote) and we have a conversation about missed quotation few next posts long. Finally, I have apologized and added an announcement in my post that I used other users content and pasted their usernames before you tagged me.
Here links to posts where you can see that I have added an announcement to my post before Hilariousandco tagged me.

I have said this before but I will repeat to defend myself.
I used quotation in begin but when started to delete unneeded text my post looks bad and there where no way to see my answer outside quotation. That is why, I added "when in hurry" and told in my original post that this, not quoted text is to find few answers above mine. I thought it will be enough. Anyways, after users remind me that this could be forum rules abuse, I apologized and added an announcement in my post that I used content from other users and put their usernames. I have done that few minutes after my original post and a few hours later I got red trust for "copy content from other users without proper attribution".
Finally, I have deleted this post but members quoted me few times during discussion and all is to find using links above or link Hilariousandco refer to and posts after that. We have the discussion about this situation just after this happened and everything, I am now repeating here is true and to find in this posts. Today, I know all about deleting posts, changing quote size, use strings or dots but sooner, I didn't know too much about this because always quoted hall text without deleting anything. This is easy to check, just look at my previous posts. I didn't know that this lack of knowledge will bring me red trust one day.
I haven't plagiarized anybody just made a mistake by quotation and 5 minutes later fixed it.

Jeremycoin was using this avatar a few days more, with no merits policy at all, even after I pointed this out in my thread and in the PM to Hilariousandco. I don't see red trust given to him.
"Merits 4 smerits" says avatar but my merits policy says: only for high-quality content, no merits in return. If avatar would be bigger I will put all text inside him but was too small and that is why I have added a merits policy which I have seen in few high-rank users profiles.
Would you be so kind Hilariousandco and answer to this post this is already the 3rd month passed away. 40 days from last answer in this thread..
I was few times rejected and restricted from activities on the forum because of this negative trust, especially missed quotation was the main reason.
I will be glad to hear your opinions Bitcointalk members.
This was not what I meant and even if I made a mistake I don't deserve red trust only a warning.
No man, you got it all wrong. Negative trust is not for you, it is warning to other forum members that you are doing something shady.
