There is no other to blame but you, the reason of not securing your account from being hacked. The question here is how about the people you scammed I mean the people who got scam when your account was hacked. I guess you must repay them not a whole but just partially because do both sides have its reason to blame
Please throw some light on account security measures on this forum which I didn't avail, so I'm to be blamed for this.

This too me is really hard to believe this story. When a user starts saying this in there defense "..but my account can be hacked again!" there is something amist here.
In saying that then you are implying that everybodies accounts can be hacked at any given time and to not trust no one on this forum.
Not even Theymos account.
If it could be hacked once, then there is a possibility that it could be hacked again. And, I don't understand why you act surprised. It's not the first time an account was hacked here on bitcointalk.
Since there is not a single security feature to prevent a stranger for logging in to my account, I can never be sure my is safe.
I am not surprised just stating a point that once a user secures their account it is not very likely it will be hacked into again so soon (within 30 days from the time that it has been hacked into in the first place). Unless you are using a password without alpha numeric characters in place which it is always encouraged to do so too not have password finder programs crack it within that 30 days of when you should of had it changed again.
My password had alphanumeric characters before and now I've updated to add symbols as well. Even if it's hacked again after months or years, It's not logical that the person whose account was hacked should be blamed and demanded pay backs from unless the forum security is improved.
It seems that everybody else is saying otherwise. As
Quickseller has pointed that out in the other thread on this comprised account. Because if you can not ensure that your account is secure enough then they should ban it so nobody gets scam for this amount again from this very account.
This argument is now getting absurd to say the least.
It comes down to pure common sense if you are able to run your account or not as everybody else here does.
There is no rocket science behind "running" the account but all I'm trying to say is that no one should deal with me without using escrow plus verifying my identity on Keybase.io. I don't want to get blamed like this again. Maybe you along with "everybody else" here are 100% sure that their account can never be hacked but I can never be 100% sure after what happened today. So, I just want everybody to know that they should not blame in future if they didn't use escrow/verified Keybase.io while trading with my account.
Still, if the other community members also think that
my demand is absurd, I'll stop using the forum till the account security/forum software is improved and request a ban for my account.
What exactly is your demand again? Not to have to pay back the 1.5btc that was lost because of your account being misused?
The fault goes to the forum administrators for not implementing a security measure that can benefit everyone else to not have to come up with excuses when and if it happens to them?
I think you should bring it up directly with them then instead of asking everybody else their opinions on this situation that totally lies in your hands.
Read my post carefully. My demand is that everyone should use escrow+verify my identity on Keybase.io before trading with me from now onwards or else should take complete responsibilty for loss.

Should I leave this as a permanent negative rating on your account to make sure for the future? (serious question)
I don't want to get blamed like this again.
I understand you, but did you talk to the person that got scammed? Usually they accept at least part of the blame and might be willing to share the loss evenly. Would that be something you can agree on? Do you accept at least a partial responsibility?
Your false negative trust would not hurt me. But, I'm upset with the member's loss and I sent PM to him the moment I got my account back. Still waiting for him to respond though.
