The negative trust rating has been removed.
The reason it was put there in the first place... wasn't in the best mood (not the best day at work) and saw another PG inflammatory post. There's a big difference calling for a witch hunt right away rather than laying out the facts and letting people decide for themselves. And really I just left the neg trust to see what would happen, it has nothing to do with TBF pulling strings... I'm not even a fan of TBF.

You can only try to solve it peacefully or by reasoning with him as it can't be removed as the system isn't moderated.
I wonder if the system needs a new model for it to work correctly. This is yet another time I've heard about someone getting negative trust for the wrong reason. Not saying that is the case just may need the attention it deserves so people aren't being misled by a false trade history.

Maybe we should rename the Trust system to Opinion system, its more fitting tbh.

I've seen people get neg trust for things like 'necroed an old thread'.
It's like, trust system is broken, let's abuse it.
Stirring up argumments ffs has nothing to do with trading
I trust you, Bruno. Tysat proved himself untrustworthy.

Also pro tip: Notice how PG's ignore tab has no color. Clearly people want to hear what he has to say or he'd be on their ignore lists, especially with that many posts!
Pro tip for you, that feature is disabled. I don't remember if it was colored when it wasn't though.
It certainly was. I'm glad it was disabled though or mine would probably be glowing just as bright right now.

lol.
I've had to totally disable this feature. I will fix it in a few days.

Actually, I can't see it, but assumed it was a deep orange, turned such over a year ago due to me posting heavily in the Bitcoinica threads at the time. I recall being so pissed about that, but eventually chilled on that aspect, somehow taking it as a badge of honor, though deep down I wished it wasn't such, but such is life.
I have never ignored a single person on this thread. Also, I'd be hard-press to site a time that I had to notify/bother the mods/staff with any issues. One such time was when there seem to be an honest suicide attempt in progress. I was able to do some quick Google-fu, getting lucky to find an address, and personally spoke with the local police to send somebody over. In fact, this happened twice with two different people, and luckily all ended up okay.

I don't see why the staff are up PG's ass.
First they ban him and now this... He (mainly) posts in his own threads and all of his trolling is deserved, plus he has some very good points. He's one of the only posters that makes me stop scrolling and pay attention to what he's saying whenever I see his posts. He is a genuine asset to BitcoinTalk.
Meanwhile TradeFortress is completely free to post whatever the fuck he wants, but PG, oh no we gotta ban his ass and then mark him as a scammer!
Why mods, why?

To be fair, I probably deserved to be banned the last time due to my actions, ergo no qualms there.

Crap like this... you could have PMed me to ask about it, and it would have been gone! Instead you hop up on the soap box and start shouting.
Why take the route you did if you're not just trying to stir up trouble?

Outta respect for you, I opted to not mention your name. As for not coming to you first, I somehow assumed it wouldn't have been removed. If all it would have taken was a PM to get it removed, then way was their an effort to do such in the first place?
Look, with the exception of this act, I've never had the red-ass toward you and any other mod/staff with the exception of davout.
Eh, well I'm with you on that. He was voted in but only members can vote so...
As for tysat, he isn't in default trust, only the extended list via Maged, Canaryinthemine, tomatocage, myself, and maybe another one or two.
So I find your assertion that it's because of Brock controlling things behind the scenes of the forum to be... dubious at best.

I may have been off-base in my assessment of Brock somehow being behind said action, but lately I've been getting mixed signals as to what the heck is truly going on. I'm not the bad guy here, but the sentiment of late is dictating else-wise.
Most every entity I've expressed concerns about has either fallen to the wayside and can clearly be seen will, with BFL at the top of the list, but still relatively the most viable.
Entities I've been critical of in the past and possibly ongoing.
Bitcoinica
Mt Gox
Tradehill (I kinda like Keena's YouTube channel)
HashFast
AMT
BitMine
KnC (at the onset, but backed way off, but now uber-critical, but not posting much on their thread)
Several ASIC-based miner outfits that proved to be scams outta the gate.
InstaWallet (For I still have 1,132 BTC not returned to me)
Paymium, et al. for they're davout's concerns
Black Arrow
CoinTerra (on my radar)

So who is Brock Pierce and what does he have to do with the forum? Does he post here?
http://www.coindesk.com/bobby-lee-brock-pierce-join-bitcoin-foundations-board-directors/
You could read the 115 comments, and counting, here http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/254oxh/bobby_lee_brock_pierce_join_bitcoin_foundations/ with most in agreement with my stance.
FYI, I only have one account on Reddit - PhinnaeusGage.

Still don't see what he has to do with the forum though. That thread is also pretty hard to read with all the Bruce drama thrown in for no reason.
