This all began the moment hacker1001101001 started being critical of the actions of lauda. You peanut hunters are not slick at all. Everyone knows this is about retribution, not about protecting the forum from scams.
LOL
hacker1001101001's unraveling surely couldn't have started when he was caught plagiarizing because that wouldn't fit your narrative.
I guess the good news is that your guild is DOA if you need fish for members in the shallow end of the spammer pool.
First of all that is a forum rules issue, not a trust system issue. Under the forum administration he was unbanned, so the matter was resolved. The attention really only came once he dared speak nothing but praise to one of the chosen clowns.

Lying, malicious attempt at perpetuating slander, account farming, trading, ICO bumping, where does it end with this user?
Do not trust this user with anything financially, nor anything that is written by this user as he clearly writes whatever the payee pays to be written."

This person was banned for plagiarism on the forum, but was very quickly unbaned (the procedure took 2 hours).
This is the fastest unban process in the history of this forum.

Hmm I wonder what happened days before Lauda left that rating... lets see...
I agree red trust feedbacks are given too easy now a days around here.
Just want to quote a recent example. I even think this is what OP is concerned about.
Lauda 2019-12-06 Reference Selectively acts as as your "friendly neighbourhood guy", but those double-faced pricks are the worst. Most of what he does nowadays, he does out of spite.
After being called out for his virtue-signalling several times, he tries to attack here and there with half-baked "legitimate concerns".
I wouldn't trust this user nor his judgement with anything.
How odd! No one seemed to give a fuck for 5 months until Lauda's butt was hurt and the peanut hunting crew was dispatched to dig through all the toilet bowls looking for anything they could collect to use as retribution. Still, no one has explained to me the imminent threat this user poses to warrant this amount of attention. This looks exactly like the hate boner for Quickseller all of the same clowns were insistent on having. Lauda has a VERY long history of leaving ratings for nothing more than criticizing them, and manufacturing stupid shit around it to give it the appearance of a valid rating. This case is no different. This is retribution against one of the "plebeians" for daring to think they are free to criticize one of the chosen clowns.
I thought all I witnessed was "the swan song", to say so...
