Definition of a negative trust: You were scammed or you strongly believe that this person is a scammer.

If you're running a ponzi I think a negative is totally justified. You will close up shop sometime and scam people, and a warning about that is good to have. Doesn't matter if you've scammed someone already, but since you probably will be ripping people off I have no problem with the negative that Vod left.

I see.....well I guess I can't argue with that.

Just going to say one thing. The ponzi site isn't going anywhere.

Guess I'm not going to be trading much on this forum

Aren't ponzi schemes illegal anyway?

I mean. Neg rep me when (which will never happen) the site goes down. When I scam.

You want to be able to scam prior to getting negative reputation?

The trust system should be a proactive system that calls out scams, hopefully prior to them working.

i think ppl from default trust assume ponzi = scam, anyways this thread should be on Meta section, move it there so it will be noticed

I see.

Can't seem to find the meta section in the "move topic" box

you can't find that because this topic is already in meta. a moderator must have moved it.

Oh. Hah. Was not even paying attention

(kind of odd because sometimes I see some "move" thread that says a thread was moved to the current section... must be a mod thing.)

Negative rep for running a ponzi site that is still running?

I mean. Neg rep me when (which will never happen) the site goes down. When I scam.

But I have not scammed at all.

I mean look: I also exchange https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yofuns-exchange-service-buying-and-selling-btc-for-pp-wu-1163858
