I did say a member of ALU (or ex, I guess). Didn't mean any slight, I respect them a lot. Just saying that even the best reputations shouldn't lull us into false security. On that note, I don't even take Red Trust as an automatic dismissal of basis.
Agree!Suppose you're right... didn't dig deep enough but have now seen quite a bit of nonsense going on including that Alia case. Honestly, the more I dig into users the less I realise I know about them. I don't spend much time in Meta but when I do, it's a maze of findings.
FYI : The thread wasn't in Meta and it wasn't a single thread.You should really dig deeper into the reputations section only if you have too much time on your hands. 
Like I said, part of a wider effort of check and balance. Every factor has its bias and motivations. I used to dismiss threads like these... but perhaps I was too focused on what I thought was the big picture. Every small effort distributed like this probably does have a bigger role than we'd think.
It does and often it ends up working in the opposite direction.Meaning, random newbie user takes such threads very seriously and ends up losing thousands to an untrusted campaign manager. 
he is good bounty campaign manager . i got paid from him in bounty swissborg . now he manage playhall
