Well, people have their own brains, they can judge what's "likely to be a scam".

Similarly this could be argued for the trust system too. It's not there as definitive proof of scams or nefarious behaviour but a warning system where people can read the feedback and references (or lack thereof) and make their own mind up whether something is legit (or whether the feedback left is just or unjust). Mods don't act or remove feedback so your best bet is to talk with Tomato and see if you can get him to remove it.

This system is supposed to be based on facts, that's why there is a reference link and amount of BTC risked/lost.

So a honest guy tries to do honest work and this is how he gets treated? With a false "scammer" mark without any proof?

Some people have invested and are now spreading FUD to stop others from investing, there are already like 10 topics with false scam accusations.

Now they are abusing the trust system too...

IMO ideally the trust system is not only used after a scam happened but also before (if it's obvious or very likely there gonna be a scam) so it can actually prevent the scam. So therefor the "BTC risked" can be zero.

However, I do not know about your trust rating so I cannot comment on that. Generally to "clear it" you have to ask or perhaps convince the person who added negative trust to remove it.

And obviously the trust system is not flawless, yeh.

How can somebody post a negative rating without any proof with "BTC risked" being zero?

In real life we can sue for libel. What about here?

How can you clear your name?

This guy:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/tomatocage-37522

gave me a negative rating with 0 BTC risked and description "Another new account + IPO scammer."

This is not "another new account". And I am not an IPO scammer. All the money are still in there and all promises are being kept.

I would kindly ask mods to look into this.
