That's your call why get triggered? Obviously I don't really have a say on this but I am trying to go for an unbiased stance so as to be fair. I didn't know about those sock puppet shit you are talking about so that might be an indicator that I am leaning on letting the tag stay.
Triggered?Nah. Just surprised with your statement that I have to remove the tag, even though @micle00 didn't really do anything to deserve that removal, he/she just went offline for a couple of months. Regarding the connection to sock puppet accounts, I mentioned that in the post you quoted and based on the fact that I didn't get an answer, look like I was onto something, which was confirmed later by @lovesmayfamilis.


Well, @micle00 says that s/he only was hired to post the thread but not directly involved in the project, it doesn't matter if the project was a scam, I deduce based on his/her post that s/he might be innocent in the scam.
He/she might be just hired to post an announcement thread and it's pretty much common practice here. What he failed to do though is to check the project before accepting the job. It took me a minute or two to check the team via reverse image search to find fake team members. If @micle00 bothered to do that, all this could have been avoided.

I've changed feedback from negative to neutral in the past in relatively similar situations, but in this case it will stay.

Oh really, I have to remove the tag?

How else to decide whether @micle00 learned anything from the mistake, other than from her activity on the forum, and since there was no activity on the forum, I can make that decision. As simple as that.

On top of that, I am still waiting for an answer to my question about connection with sock puppet accounts and thread shilling. So yeah, tag stays for now.

@Obito, why do you think Rikafip has to remove the negative tag?
micle00 has not proven that it is not part of the scam project or even the author. All we have is his word. If he wants to clear his name, at least he needs to show some effort.

On the contrary, I can add that he deserves another red tag, as his farm accounts have been tagged. I don't believe in such coincidences, especially in such a large forum. It is enough just to look at one ANN thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2208174.500

Yep, that's why I asked him about sock puppet accounts and shilling as it was obvious that something dodgy is going there, since I don't really believe in coincidence and as I see, neither do you.  Anyway, thanks for taking some time to connect those accounts, but somehow i think that we won't hear from @micle00  any time soon.

Excellent find @lovesmayfamilis! Obviously, all of these are/were part of the same sock puppet accounts farm.

That shouldn't discount the fact that you have to remove the tag, the reason that s/he might have went offline is because s/he was waiting for you to remove the tag. You didn't say anything about @micle00 that s/he should be posting in the forum despite the negative trusts. You said that you will put a neutral tag and I think that it will be enough for many people to keep an eye out for @micle00.

Thing is, since I tagged on December 23rd and said that I will be review your case, you basically went offline and made one or two posts, so I can't really say whether you changed your ways or have you learned anything from the previous mistake.

Now when I looked at your post history, you were unusually active in the threads that have been heavily shilled by sock puppet accounts. How do you explain that coincidence and do you have any connections to them?

I received the negative trust from you back on December 23. You said you will remove the trust until you are sure I am not dangerous to others. It's been a while and I think I proved I am not a danger to others.

So, I am requesting you please remove my negative trust. Thank You

I was just hired to post their thread, I have nothing to do with this project. I will delete the thread after 24 hours.
It is a good thing that you reacted fast and removed content of announcement thread, but I won't remove negative tag just yet. Due your negligence you endangered people here, as we all know that projects with fake team members can end in only one way. It literally took me 1 minute to check CEO identity via basic reverse image search and you should have done the same before accepting this job.

I will keep an eye on you for some time and I might change feedback to neutral but for now negative stays until I am sure that you are not the danger for others.

What happened: Solomon Cash used stock image photo for their CEO "Simon Polman". We all know the answer why would CEO of company hide his real identity.

This is a picture of  Solomon Cash CEO Simon Polman from their website.




And this is what you get when you check the source of the picture. They just cut out part where person is holding mobile phone taking selfie, and that's about it. I must admit that using photo with a mask is a nice touch, due current covid19 situation. Same photo is used for Simon Polman LinkedIn account, so that can't be just a mistake from web developer, or whatever standard excuse they come up with.
