Heads-up:
Ratimov stopped deleting old posts with evidences of plagiarism. Probably he thinks he deleted all evidences.
At same time, he or one of his minions created an account named
GazetaBitcoinSV, probably for making themselves even more ridiculous. The account was created yesterday and it was already tagged.
For the record: I didn't blame you for deleting those shitposts
Yeah, I'm sorry. That wasn't meant for you.
No, I did that. I understand that you, as mods, are supposed to keep the local board clean but this was a special case. I believe that in this case rushing to delete
Ratimov's shitposts was a mistake, because people could see what he did. All those not knowing of ninjastic.space could see it. You could keep those posts for a while, at least. Which remembers me that you never answered to this post:
But you have a Mod board, in which you could report him to Mods with banning power. It's more than just deleting his own posts, it's moving
garbage into
your board. And that's a clear violation of the forum rules:
1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads.
He could easily have avoided all this by moving the topic to Archival, but he choose to throw his garbage topics on the board you moderate. This sets a precedent for using the board you moderate as a trashcan and by reporting his own posts there turns you into his personal trashman.
Why haven't you presented to other mods what he was doing? Thus maybe another mod would ban him for breaking (again and again) forum rules? You still did not explain that. And the fact that you shower each other in merits only makes you more suspicious. Maybe not in everybody's eyes but, certainly, some see this very suspicious (including me).
I wondered in the previous comment to this thread if Ratimov was going to come here to explain himself but it doesn't look like it at this point.
Well, what could he say? "I am sorry for abusing Trust system and all these users for so many years"...? "I am sorry for plagiarizing and stealing the work of all those authors and I am also sorry for misleading all the forum"...?
Not the behaviour one would expect from someone who is 100 most trusted, 4 most merited etc according to bpip.org.
Fourth most merited user? What a joke! What a joke! It's easy to become popular when you steal, right? Just as he did, for years in a row!
If you don't feel his behavior is adequate for a DT1 user, feel free to add him to your distrust list, as others did as well.
Now I am sure that he had no intention of fixing things because of his mistake. If he ever said that he wanted to fix things, he only did it for his benefit. At some point, he offered a "truce", apologized to the community and GazetaBitcoin for the offensive words, and withdrew his feedback given to Gazeta. [...]
If you want to sincerely apologize or forgive someone, it must be unconditional.
I saw revenge feedback on BitcoinGirl.Club added later
That's not how things get fixed.
If you feel that he is not using Trust system correctly, feel free to distrust him as well.
About mods helping him to delete these things, I guess he is tricking mods to do their job. He is deleting everything first and then making it like a spam post that is needed to delete.
This is crystal clear now.
