Lauda is a leftist? I don't believe I know what her political views are. But if she's indeed a leftist and inclined to red-tag folks with opposing points of view, she missed me and quite a few other conservatives around here. I've never hidden my political beliefs, and they clearly lay right of center.
The comment left in review is unambiguous, and doesn't seem to support your claim that it's political retaliation. The reference link points to a thread that shows her review is accurate.
You can argue that the review is undeserved, or tagging folks for bumping ANN threads is frivolous, or your bumping posts aren't spam, or any other rational argument. But suggesting she's retaliating against you for your political beliefs, then presenting no evidence to support your claim only serves to undermine your credibility.

I agree negative trust for this is undeserved, unless there's more to it I'm not seeing. I'd leave negative trust for providing this services for a known scam project for example but not in general.
The punishment for providing a service to basically spam should be handled by a moderator/admin instead of DT.
Lauda, could you provide more information? Am I missing something?
OP, why are you accusing Lauda of "silence those differ from her politically" instead of just being too harsh? What political difference do you think you have? What hidden motivations are you accusing her of having?

In response to your red trust:
The admin made it clear in a post,
Also if anyone directly did not scam anyone but have red trust then the below warning becomes less relevant.

This is the reason theymos wants all of us to leave red trust if we believe the person is a scammer.
In response to your red trust:
The admin made it clear in a post,
Logged-out users will now see a warning in trust-enabled sections if more DT members neg-trust the topic starter than positive-trust him.
This increases the responsibility of DT members not to give negative trust for stupid reasons, but only for things that cause you to believe that the person is a scammer.
So I think anyone who is leaving red trust or left red trust, they need to reconsider their action since trust is not moderated.This increases the responsibility of DT members not to give negative trust for stupid reasons, but only for things that cause you to believe that the person is a scammer.

I joined this forum way back in 2012 and no matter how insignificant it was, I also played my part in popularizing this forum. Back then, the admins respected freedom of speech and were unbiased. I had no black mark here until this admin gave me red trust.
Lauda is not an "admin" but a member of DT, which is quite different than a staff member. You've been around here since 2012 and don't know this fact?Besides, after looking at the reference link Lauda provided, there was more to the story than just some thread-bumping scheme. Personally, I don't tag professional ANN bumpers, but it's a shady practice and I don't fault Lauda for negging you.
Trust isn't moderated here, by the way--and that's also something you should know if you've been here almost since the beginning. Mods aren't going to get involved with any issues of trust. Also, this isn't a matter of "differ[ing] from her politically". Bumping ANN threads for the purpose of keeping them at the top of the page isn't allowed, and it's dishonest. That's why you got tagged.

As per the forum policies, red trust is a punishment given to those who try to scam others. Most of the admins here are unbiased, and use red trust only when there is sufficient proof that an user is trying to scam someone.
But the case is different with the extreme-leftist cabal led by Lauda. If they notice that someone is on the opposite side of the political divide, then they'll use the silliest reasons to nuke that account.
Seven months back, I was red trusted by Lauda, for bumping the ANN thread. I wasn't trying to scam, and explained it to her. But no use. As per the forum rules, thread bumping and spamming are not liable for red trust. At the most, they can be banned for 7 days or 14 days. But Lauda makes her own rules and used this as an excuse to destroy my account. And my case is very unique. Others who did the same escaped without any punishment, and I was the only one who received red trust.

I am not begging anyone to remove my red trust, because I know that it was given to me in an unfair manner. I am making this post, to make others aware of what is going on here. For the past 2-3 years, this forum has become a place to bully and blackmail, thanks to certain high ranking users.
