I wasn't even aware of that offer, but no it wasn't because of that. And technically I haven't removed you.
However the concern that I have about this is that my ratings will now only show up for people that explicitly have you in their trust list (or who explicitly have BadBear, theymos, and a few others in their trust list - this is due to I am on others' trust lists who are also are their trust lists). People who have the default settings will not see my ratings by default.
In the few days that I was off of BadBear's list (and before being added to your list), at least one person was scammed because they did not see a negative I left - they had purchased an account that had defaulted on a loan that I had left negative trust for. The loan was only for .05 BTC and in their own words still got a good deal on the account after repaying the loan to the lender so they were not upset about the situation, however the point does still remain.
Depth 0 is DefaultTrust
Depth 1 is Tomatocage
Depth 2 is Tomatocage1
So any trust ratings Tomatocage1 does doesn't really do anything.
I had a feeling I wasn't understanding it right. I have no plans of using Tomatocage1 for anything other than adding people to my Trust list at Depth 2. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but as I think it works, Depth 2 ratings hit a little softer than Depth 1. You'd think I would have a clearer understanding how the Trust system works, being in the actual DefaultTrust group and all
A rating from haploid23 will not show up period (if you were to ignore the fact that he is also on BadBear's trust list)
If I understand Tomatocage, he is really on pressure because of your vague negative trusting. That is why may be he is trying to reorganising his trust list.
There is so much difference in Vod neg trust and what you give to other.
Vod normally give negative trust to newbie's who ask loan without collateral but in your case it's different that is why Badbear removed you from his trust.
Take example of tspacepilot, you necro post with your alt account about his 3 year old post. And then mark negative trust from QS account. It is really misuse of DT. Because That time even so many knew about that. And after that there were no complaint about in tspacepilot account but you did it for some revenge. I don't know what was the motive that you searched 3 year old post to marking red.
Now QS will start to beg someone from the depth1 and ask to be re-added, so pathetic from you QS.
QS is good on scam busting but he need to understand the responsibility of default trust. If he has doubt of even 1% he must give neutral trust not Negative trust. That is why Theymos changed trust system to 3tier but mostly DT user don't use Neutral trust they just like to mark red account to show their power.
Yeah now he can continue his work of scam buster. nobody will stop him . good luck QS.
