Topic: kiklo is right on the trust system + minifrij’s mental and credibility problems - page 2. (Read 2043 times)

As I said in one of our previous conversation; Everyone will eventually know who you are.
And as a reply to your pm, I do not post here to attract the intention of some member in this forum, But I do it to say what I think and if you do not like, you just have to change course,this world is vast and there is room for everyone, It is not with your 250+ post, or a year of existence in this forum that you will change the rules here.   

Nonsense.

I'm watching a sports game. Posting is something to keep me busy instead of waiting around during the breaks. That is the absolute opposite as far as I know.

That's a shame.

Perhaps now that you are not contributing to the forum you can finally fit in the time to actually learn how the systems that you are criticizing work so that you don't look like such a dunce when you do decide to post.

Real idiot wasting time to make reply on these minor things.

What I say for quitting is I will not waste time to contribute on this forum, that is enough. I have quitted it. Feeling extremely happy so I made the comment. Just enjoying reading the forum for free is nice.

Seems that you and kiklo have more in common, in that you both are completely incapable of quitting the forum when you say you're going to.
I'll help you out, since you seem to be having issues following through. Go to this page, press 'Generate Password' and copy it.

Hope I helped. 

Congratulate yourself for being a liar?   

Totally correct. I have to congratulate myself. It is clear who are idiots. The whole trust system lacks credibility. Someone have removed the fucking Lauda as DT member prove it. Later someone add him back further shows that corruption exists.

hi 8xbt.com, keep calm and enjoy life like she is, not like you want that it will be; one day is for you , one other is on you, maybe you have laugh for five minutes the last time but i have laught for all the day when reading your topic.
i will make this task easy for you and for every one that read this topic:
It all started when 8xbt.com started to send nonsenses in one of auction topic opened by me; There was some misunderstanding of the two of us, but I did not consider it as serious act and This was extended in other thread.
After that; I had  to ask for a loan in this forum, After that this member (8xbt.com) posted in my thread; He opened a new thread where he offers a loan service without intention to provide this service neither have proof of funds, But I don't care, he is free to do what he wants in this forum because I am not a judge.
And the thing that made this person furious is without comment:




So for another time send ve feedback without reference and fortunately the DT members has not approved his feedback.



now; i have just one question for you:
Dare you to open this thread if the ve feedback pasted in your trust rating was approved from the DT member?? I'm really sure that you've not noticed them because you only look at life on your side; and the answer is NO
maybe you will do it but with your alt account With which you noticed that the ve feedback pasted in my account is not visible to everyone.


We'll miss you.


Now going on to serious things; If you see that my disappearance from this forum will make you a happy man, I am ready to leave without negotiation and accept ve feedback from all the 1029781 actual Members of this forum.

good by and don't forget to enjoy the life  

could you please change my rank to founder then? That would be great. i will send some bitcorns your way along with a list of people to ban

In the case of Vod, you can see that he is an IT technician from Alberta, Canada. Please tell me the point of this exercise? Am I meant to feel differently about Vod now that I know that he is *gasp* a normal human being?

Also, they're not moderators, they are DT members. Moderators cannot change things on the DT system and DT members cannot change things on the forum (with the exception of few, who are also Moderators. The vast majority of DT is not such).

I mean, I am an alt of Lutpin and Lauda, then by extension Mitchell and theymos. If you think about it, I'm an administrator.

Since when is minifrij a mod? Will this never end??

So now everybody can see very clearly what kind of people these moderators are.

Yes. Because the selling point of Bitcoin certainly isn't anonymity.

In addition, users like Vod have always been open to who they are. They are still 'abusing' the system. They are still trusted. How do they fit into your plan?

---

For anyone that isn't aware, and has no interest in learning, the general gist of this thread is 'idiot with no idea about how the forum works agrees with other idiot with even less of an idea of how the forum works'.

Anyway, for people in a trust position who wields power, it is definitely not good for them to remain anonymous. There should at least be a profile for each DT member be shown publicly. It would give a much fairer impression to all members and thus minimize the abusive behaviour by DT members.

There's not anything hard to explain about that. Feedback from people who are not part of DefaultTrust (depth 1 or 2) is not visible by default and does not affect someone else's rating. One of the reasons for this is that you could just keep creating (or buying) accounts and leaving negative ratings to someone (thus *destroy* their rating).

It is very much a system of trust, it's just that you don't fully understand it. The owner of this forum is theymos, thus DT1 should be people who he trusts (and DT2 are people who are trusted by people in DT1).

Because we trade, tens of thousands and sometimes even hundreds of thousands of USD with each other.

You should be thankful for these people. There are the only ones standing between the current situation and total anarchy (which would be a scammers paradise).

False. It is very much the appropriate word.

It is quite hard to explain. I mean when a non-DT member give a negative rating to other members, there is a message '-2/-1 and a warning' show up in that profile, and the negative comment goes to the default trust column. But in fact no one can see the '-2/-1 and warning' except yourself, so in fact it is just a note and reference to yourself and is not really giving out any rating. As most people will not change the default setting, it create a false sense that we are able to give trust ratings to each others, but in fact it is not, as comment goes to the untrusted feedback can be regarded as useless.

So it is not a trust system at all, it is just a 'staff ratings given' by a very small number of people. You can see the DT 'staff' members giving each others the green ratings. And most of the green ratings are 'concentrated' in their accounts. And the red ratings are always given by the same 20-30 active DT members who hold real power. It is quite deceiving to use the word trust before a rating, as it is not a real indication of trustworthiness relative to other members, or among each members.

It isn't really hard to understand. You just need to put some time into it, and not be stupid(?).

If you break the forum rules, you deserve to be banned.

No. The "real and only power" is theymos. The ranks are useless and often used for scamming.

DT can't ban anyone.

No.

I barely understood what OP wrote, simply because of the mile high language barrier.  Not to say that he's horrible, but it's hard to understand.

You do realize you can modify your trust settings, right?  You don't have to follow the default trust thing at all if you don't want to, and it's probably a good idea if you don't.  Kiklo is mad because everyone sees he's got red trust now...but everyone needs to take that with a grain of salt anyway.  He got far too emotional over that whole incident and it did him no good.  It is what it is, and at the end of the day this is just an internet forum.  Take a deep breath and go get some fresh air.

If the average user does not know how the trust system works, but both contributes to it, and uses it anyway, then that is a problem.

It is not a matter of individual users taking the time to learn how the trust system works, it is a matter of the trust system being too complex for many who use it to understand.

Even though I understand how the trust system works personally, the fact that many people do not (know how to) use the trust system properly makes it very difficult to judge how much most people can/should be trusted.

Okay, let's see these facts.

What are you saying here? Are you stating that you don't have the self-control to accept negative feedbacks with a grain of salt?

That's not the community's fault or anybody's fault but them. This is a public forum and all the answers are in Meta. Do a little research and you'll discover all the answers.

You're not being articulate with your points and thus deliverance is stunted. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, I'd like some clarification.

Again, it's their prerogative to check.

If that's true then a lot more people would be banned.

First bit: true. DT has power in terms of giving out trusted feedback. But isn't there also power in green-trusted members too? Ranks don't really matter that much and they have little incentives (that don't relate to signature campaigns). Perhaps some businessy members would want to stylize their personal signature for their own advertisements but apart from that the other 99.9% of members don't care much for the forum-based incentives.


There's going to be spam and scams in both settings but I feel like SOME centralization is necessary otherwise you'll be rampant with bullshit.
