The Pharmacist.
i honestly expected him to have already been added when i came back to the forum a few months ago, surprised its only just now happening. i think it's a pretty good move though.
I would recommend also members, who are not too often participants in signature campaigns to avoid conflicts of interest (although there are many honorable members, who are also active in signature campaigns.).
i dont think being a regular participant in sig campaigns would lead to a conflict of interest in the context of leaving reliable ratings; DT members just leave ratings as part of their contribution to the forum, this doesn't at all tie into just making some pocket change off of posting regularly.
Let me just say this: I have tagged some particularly egregious shitposters, and I have seen them come back and apply for campaigns that I've applied to. It is not my intention to neg them as a means of securing myself a spot in any campaign--and most of the time, they're newbies who wouldn't be competing for Hero+ spots anyway. I'm aware that it could look like there's a conflict of interest, but every neg that I've left was not left with the thought that I would be on DT2 someday and would gain from it personally. They were all left with good intentions, so to speak.
I work in a field where second chances are the norm. However, this isn't real life and I can't judge people's intentions, just their actions. It's very clear there are scumbags here who see absolutely nothing wrong with scamming or ruining a great forum for personal gain. Those people who beg hilariousandco (or Vod,Lauda, and everyone else) for second chances somehow never seem to demonstrate that they understand where they went wrong--it's just juvenile pleading, like you'd hear from a 5 year old who got caught pulling flowers from the garden. I have seen some people I've given negatives to be relatively good members, like Josephdd1. If people stop buying & selling accounts and haven't gotten any more negs, I've been known to remove feedback. But I have to go with evidence and gut instinct when the request is made, and frankly I'm comfortable leaving a rating in place.
Thank you all for the kind words.
I've already got this today:
Can you remove your trust as I don't deal with accounts for a long time. I hate account sellers.
And though he deleted his retaliatory negative trust, I do believe he was totally spamming my trust page with a whole bunch of bullshit at one point. If there's an archive of it, I'd love to see it again. And I mean he left
many feedbacks on my page over the course of a few months. Plus he's dealt in accounts more than once, and that's a feedback that I'm not inclined to remove.
