Topic: Let me be the first to start a bitching thread about the flags (Read 1184 times)

*saying with sarcasm*  Why is he even still allowed to post?

I think what theymos is trying to say is that he wants that to happen. Unless the user knows about newbie/guest warnings and wants to see them (for which the "#" is sufficient), there is no need to alert them.

It still sounds a bit backwards to me too (I prefer more information to be available, not less) but I doubt he's gonna budge so we need to keep that in mind when we use those flags. If needed, combine them with red trust ratings for a bit of extra exposure.

^ I believe that if member has a warning flag, then all forum users should be aware of this, regardless of ranks.

There's a chance, in my opinion, that "#" symbol could be overlooked even by some long-term users.

Some longstanding members, which rarely visiting Meta or Reputation, may not notice "#" symbol and can lose money because of this.

If users got warning flags, based on objective criteria, that it is dangerous to do business with them, in such a case should be a more visible icon for them.

For example:

I guess that they could "undo" themselves if they don't get support in 2 days? Or 7 days?
Because even without red colors and support they can still scare newbies and maybe sometimes it's not the case.

Considering that trust ratings no longer has the same effect as before, could we expect that trusts will be visible in all sections of the forum in the future?

There is also a suggestion: removing flags which don't have a single support.

There are three very separate scopes for trust which need to be kept separate. Newbie-warning flags are only for warning newbies, not for warning experienced members who should know better, or for harming the target. The "#" symbol is supposed to be inconspicuous, since it's not supposed to be a warning or a "mark of shame".

(I won't rule out adding a per-post warning for newbies if people evade the per-topic warnings, though.)

Ok, can we please try to stay on the topic of... ah I think I see the problem here... well, let's just try to bitch more about the technical details set forth in the OP than personal attacks, for which there are plenty of other threads.

Are you surprised it leaked after it was sent to ~110 users?  I don't think he cared it would leak anymore than sharing his thoughts in the same way any other user could.                                                                     

Only in a clown world would the owner of this forum ALLOW proven scammers like you to use his trust system to facilitate and hide your own scamming actions by giving red trust to whistle blowers.

You and your gang are living in the clown world. You surround yourself with beta gimps like Laudas Feltching Clown  and smarmacist and the other bunch of corrupt weak gimps.

I hope he handles it by blacklisting you. There is no place on DT for a PROVEN LIAR AND SCAMMER. Even if you were not using red trust to silence people presenting observable instances of  your prior lying and scamming you just should not be there.

The best part is suchslob has revealed herself as a back stabbing piece of shit now too. Or is that your alt lauda? she seems to risk it all to keep your account with some power??

We see no back tracking on theymos's part we see someone simply realizing now that he really did let a gang of backstabbing ,scamming, lying, extorting scum nearly take over this board.

Let's hope he blacklists the lot of you dirt bags.  ONLY those willing to work with transparent and fair rules that treat each person equally are welcome here.

Meta board means NOTHING is a tiny tiny tiny subset of this board, most devs and true supporters of this movement never even visit this shit hole meta.  Of course meta board will cry when their gravy train just got shoved off the tracks. Keep crying bitch.

Remember this you scamming piece of shit??


once you try and scam people you do not go back, you said once you were new and that was a mistake. a true legend once said to you " that is fine lauda it's never too late to leave the dark for the light"   but you were just lying you never left you just moved on to darker things. no more chances you're done.

You nearly once contributed to getting btc knocked off top position. Lucky a real legend was there to stop you

Only he is always b*tching and never, ever, eeeeever been asked for in any thread, thats not been created by himself

Support-wise, I probably do because his policies are part of the clown world we live in today.  

He backtracked because he overplayed his hand. How he handles it now is even less relevant than it was before.

Lauda again believing he is more in charge here than theymos.  Get this proven scammer blacklisted before it can do more damage.

What back tracking?? I don't see any. Let's hope he just blacklists you straight out after likely trying to allow you some dignity to be naturally voted off.  Still will look better when you are bitchslapped completely out and blacklisted by the forum owner.

He's making shit up again, i.e. lying and I've tagged theymos for selectively condoning this extremely untrustworthy behaviour. The reality/truth: People stand to retain full power by just fully flipping into excluding me.

Nevermind, seems that theymos is backtracking. The time that you managed to get the author of the system to backtrack. Outplayed he indeed is.  

I have to ask... who the fuck are "they"?

No; there is no competitive alternative.

I have no power, nor is anyone obliged to share any PM with me nor would I be able to know/prove that they got it. Weak-play; but he got beaten at his own game-theory. The small wins matter for the greater good.

they clearly trust him enough to use his forum.

IMO, the message leaked because of the power they stand to lose.

The PM leaked a minute after it was sent, that's how much they trust him. If he blacklists, he centralizes. That is the right way. I wonder what would happen if sufficient people refused this (which I would not advise for).

I won't edit that, rather up date it separately with the info that I (as a member of DT1) have just received a PM which ends


and it didn't come from CryptoHunter....
