Topic: How to remove negative trust? (from Hilariousandco) - page 3. (Read 1325 times)

You are right that patience is a virtue and I should wait more time. I am happy to see this answers because when I was searching for help in old threads some high-rank users advised sending PM's because sooner messages could be not read and deleted because of "pletoria" (quote) of things. Of course, my PM's where always in a very polite tone and with a subject that says everything. It was obvious about what is my message just after reading the topic. I did it on purpose to save Hilariousandco time.

Before I have asked an off-topic question I apologized and said that I will delete this post immediately. Now I know this is not best behavior but when you are confused and there are more questions than answers you can make a mistake, especially under pressure.

There is a legendary user Actmyname I found today after reading a post about negative trust. He fights spam and bad behavior like Hilariuosandco on the forum. I like his profile page where you can read: "IF YOU HAVE RED TRUST: DO NOT MESSAGE ME IMMEDIATELY. WAIT AT LEAST 72 HOURS OR THE PM WILL BE IGNORED." If a statement like this is added to Hilariousandco profile I will never bother him and wait calmly. Users should know what they can do next after receiving negative trust. This will save a lot of confusion and time.

Avatar says I will give "merits 4 smerits". Avatar is too small to add that I will do that only for quality content. That is why I have added later merits policy like other users. I have to add that I saw this avatar in Legendary member profile https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/jeremycoin-397611 that 's why I have copied it. Later I have pointed this out to Hilariousandco in my PM. I have seen this user used this avatar 3 days longer and there is no red trust given to him. There was more confusion with this avatar because I have problems to download him. Even if I have downloaded and seen new avatar on download page after refresh I have seen my old Envion avatar or no avatar at all in my account summary. I tried few times and finally left this because I had to go to work. Next day after login I saw negative trust and new avatar. I had such a problem with avatar before. There are proofs in my old posts because I was looking for help with this issue and talked with users about it. I can dig them out if needed.

I have used parts of posts from 2 users to help answer another user question without proper quotation. I have quoted them at the start (I think everybody uses quote because is fast and easier as copy and pasting) but after I deleted some parts, post was not readable and looks bad with my answer between quotations. So I did it without quotation and added that this answer is to find few posts above mine. Anyways, user reminds me that this is rules violation (in next post after mine) so I said "thank you for reminding me" apologized and added announcement ("To provide this answer I used content from other users ( added their usernames ) without proper quotation") into my post. Here is a link to post where you can clearly see that missed quotation issue was resolved just after it happens. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29079837 . So why I got red trust for a mistake which was already resolved. This happened two hours before I have changed avatar. Later I deleted this post if this violates rules.

What did the avatar say?

Also, your post is a bit confusing.  You seem to realize you did something wrong because you turned another member in.  So why the complaint?

So let me get this right,
after you sent several PMs to the user, and didn't get an answer, you decided to follow them around the forum, spamming your questions in threads they post in?
And at no point did you realize that your actions were only going to make things worse?

Patience is a virtue.

There ain't such authority which deals with trust problems except the person who gave you the negative trust and the one who added that person to the Default Trust.

Wait for hilariousandco to respond and see what they have to say.No one controls when they would respond ,from my experience ,bothering them with multiple PM's and off-topic seeking attention doesn't help.

That is what determines if the trust given to you is valid or should hilariousandco revise it based on the community feedback.Personally,I don't think they should.

I will not send anymore but I was very polite and considerate in my PM's.

I even asked an off-topic question in a thread where Hilariousandco was active (I apologized of course and said that will be deleted), how long is an average wait time for an answer, but he never answered and deleted post immediately.

I was searching today few hours in forum threads for help. I thought that there is somebody dealing with trust problems. I don't know moderator or a thread where you can add your case for consideration but I found nothing only more questions.

That is why I am here to ask more experienced users what can I do more?

Anyways, Thank you for the answer.

I'm sorry, In addition to avoid misunderstanding between readers, only that person who gives you the negative trust who can remove it.

Only hilariousandco can remove it.

If you bothered me with multiple PMs, I wouldn't respond to you either.

Hello, fellow Bitcointalkers.

A few days ago I got negative trust. What can I do now?

I got negative trust for "Trading merit with those who leave him points as advertised via his avatar. Also copied content without proper attribution."

I don't want to argue if Hilariousandco was right or not because this will bring nothing good.

I only say that I never traded merits with nobody and this was never my intention. Added an announcement in a post that I missed quotation and from who, just after this happened. Read few next posts after referred one for proof. Avatar was online for few hours. I copied from legendary member Jeremycoin. He was using it until yesterday. No red trust is given to him even after I pointed this out.  Added merit policy to my signature and avatar: " meirts only for quality content, no merits in return, spam isn't good".

Anyways I deleted this post and avatar if this violates rules and added merits policy to my signature and personal text.

From few days I keep sending PM's to Hilariousandco but he isn't responding. From what I see on the forum this happens sometimes that moderators don't answer PM's about negative trust.

I feel like a criminal with red trust. I really am. I think nobody will take me seriously. I personally always look to trust after reading a post. I'm using Bitcointalk for almost 5 years with one account and never done anything wrong.

What can I do now? How to get my trust back?
