The explanation at the link made sense ... and Theymos knows ... so ... what's the problem?
For the same reasons as if they had targeted you randomly. Why is it fair? And Theymos DIDN'T agree to this.

all things aside, don't you think BFL should be focusing it's attention on order fulfillment and responding to the numerous messages from it's customers rather than this crap ? (BFL) is there really nothing on the inventory shelves to be shipped that you have time to concern yourself whether or not "TRUST" can be manipulated ? I think BFL wrote the book on trust manipulation, "IN STOCK, SHIPPING IMMEDIATELY"....."WILL SHIP IN AUG, SEPT, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MARCH, APRIL...etc". BFL deserves all that folks say about them and more.

So funny how this back fired on him.

BFL keeps sinking lower and lower. you would think a company that is way behind in order fulfillment would focus more on the task at hand. Not really sure why this company is still around...are there products even relevant anymore ?
Perhaps I missed something, but they take a shot at DOGIE, calling him a "troll"...last I checked DOGIE is the guy that took the time to compose "how to" instructions for setting up Cubes & Antminer S1's (thank you). I think those 2 products pretty much took BFL out of the game.

Meta thread is here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bfl-bringing-down-the-trust-rating-549403
Yes and no, he authorised an experiment but didn't know what it involved. Seems happy to let others to sit in the crossfire now though :s
Unbelievable.
Did Theymos authorise this experiment ?? explicitly targeting 2 valuable users!?
Pretty low... Josh you're a douche!
Oh and start shipping, again you're months late.

He asked me whether he could demonstrate that the Trust system is broken. I said that he could, though I didn't know exactly what he was planning, and I don't like what he's doing here. Trust isn't the right way to respond to people whose posts you dislike. If I'd have known that he was going to do this, I would have warned him that it would probably result in significant backlash...
I'm happy with the performance of the Trust system here so far. I have a few more default-untrusted negative ratings, but Inaba's default trust score went from ~5 to -261 overnight. (I did not change anything about how the Trust system works for this.)

i bet he wanted good feedback so they can still fool newcomers to buy their shitty products

I can't say I care much for the trust system here, but doesn't the fact that he would have this contest flaw BFL's own trust system because its fluffing up 3 of his accounts with fake unique positive feedbacks? Do we believe he is intending on removing them after the contest?
And if this were just an experiment/demonstration, why the need for unique comments each day?

I never dealt with or know the guy but this is an outrage
March 31, 2014, 06:11:37 AM
As did mine unfortunately, caught in the crossfire. There's a thread in meta, but there should really be one here temporarily for visibility.
March 31, 2014, 06:09:21 AM
Backfired... his own ratings went to -1425 in less than 24 hours. Still a lot lower than it actually should be given the theft he has presided over.
March 31, 2014, 06:05:50 AM
wrong section.
otherwise, thanks for sharing - it is just showing us, how is Inaba stupid.
