UPDATE:Vod has now formally attempted to extort me out of $5,000,000 by threat of frivolous legal action. PM below:
Here's an example of the trust system's stupid shit.
Last of the V8s claims I scammed 2,100 BTC. This is untrue, and yet some of the con-artists on DT have actually included this moron.
Reminds me of when, years ago, I initially PMed you about including the moron Quickseller in your DT2 trust list.
You promptly told me he had done nothing wrong
to you.
So why the hypocrisy here? "Last of the V8s" has done nothing wrong to everyone else... :/
Not only is that a lie as I have explained to him multiple times why I have left the feedback I have, but he continued stating other lies as can be seen throughout that thread, escalating his attacks to provably honest community organizations I support. More of Vod's lies are detailed on this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.50665442 but I would recommend reviewing the entire thread.
Once I called Vod out, he decided to leave me a negative trust rating.
Vod's negative feedback with me
seems to stem from this specific quote:
This while continually asking me to leave you a trust rating and add you to my network while showering me with Merit at the time. Between that pathetic manipulation attempt failure escalating to you telling me that you'd add me to your distrust list unless I removed trust ratings for Anduck and Quickseller and if I did you would add me to your trust list
I think this can be broken down to 3 specific claims that I will prove the reasoning for my opinion below. I think after reviewing all available information, it should become clear that Vod is a dangerous addition to the trust network, who has no problem enabling scammers out of fear, and abuses the responsibilities given to him by this forum.
1) Vod asked for my trust multiple times.
2) Vod uses Merit questionably.
3) Vod said he would add me to his distrust list unless I removed trust ratings for Anduck and Quickseller.
1) Vod asked for my trust multiple times.Besides the fact it is weird to be sent a message from such a long term member that you've rarely if ever communicated with, having them mention trust like in these quotes definitely seemed to me as though Vod was asking for trust without any sort of basis. I had to explain this to him to the point of frustration as these quotes show. There is always much more, but I tried to make this as short as possible. Setting things up we have to start at the beginning and I highlighted a particular line that I think applies to the current trust rating Vod has left me.
Here's the list of DT members who support Vod's trust abuse with inclusions in their trust network. I've added ~'s in front of their usernames so they can easily be copied/pasted into your trust settings in order to exclude their networks. You can do this by clicking
