To start, I don't believe OgNasty is a danger to trade with. He has proven to be trustworthy with large amounts of money, and I can't see that changing.However, I also don't believe that you should take anything that OgNasty says at face value. OgNasty has a history of twisting words to reflect different meanings (
Reference 1 /
Reference 2) and saying things very specifically to suggest a different meaning, then claiming the literal meaning once called out (
Reference 3). OgNasty also spreads blatant lies about the people he dislikes or disagrees with (
Reference 4 - I have never scammed anyone, and have made several thousands worth of successful trades over the 6+ years I've been here), and rarely retracts/apologizes for his obscene statements without significant community pressure.
There are also comments to be made regarding the legitimacy of his 'fan club' that he fronts, produces content/merch for, promotes
but doesn't own (which apparently absolves him of any criticism regarding it), but I don't want to get into that.
tl;dr - You should take anything that OgNasty says with a heap of salt, and do your own research before believing anything that he says.In keeping with
theymos' recent post regarding the trust system and it's use, I am revising this rating from negative to neutral. I don't expect OgNasty to do the same with his false negative rating on myself.
Originally I was going to just post this on his trust wall, but unfortunately I have to make a topic about it. Sorry for the clutter. If you're looking for discussion this thread isn't for you; I won't be unlocking it. Please don't see this topic as trying to relight the fire.
