Topic: What are negative trust ratings for? (Read 1977 times)

I've been told that plenty of people have taken him seriously and his precence has been an issue on a number of fronts and to a number of people.  There is evidence that was the case, not just interpretation or supposition.

My complete objection to his ability to promote hate by brandishing a hate image and tagline that states his support to take over is sufficient evidence that one or more people are affected by him.

It's easy to say he is harmless when you have zero evidence to the contrary.

I'm pissed because a core member of our dev team walked away from a years worth of work because of this harmless ISIS avatar.  So execuse me if i disagree with your view that it has no impact.  

I had him on ignore for months. But ignoring cancer doesn't work. Turning a blind eye lets the cancer grow.

Fuck his rights to quietly brandish hate and support the destruction of thousands of years of historical artefacts and world heritage sites because the sysmbols on those historic buildings showed images that they disagreed with.  They take images seriously, but we should not?

Yeah, fuck that.I don't trust him. Neg'd the fucker so others know he is a cancer and not to be trusted.

I see what you did there.

Giving an ISIS supporter who uses his avatar to subliminally promote violence is something that should be defended. So what if there is no way of stopping him from brandishing hate as long as he doesn't post anything promoting hate?

So everyone around him just has to shut the fuck up because he has the right to support an illegal terrorist organisation that many countries are currently at war with.

Fuck the people who died in Paris. Fuck the people who drown each day escaping the terrorists. Fuck the people who get their heads cut off because it's cheaper than raising money for advertising.

Let him brandish hate in peace.

But, wait.  If he is allowed to be involved with profiting from a currency project, won't he use that profit to fund terrorist activities? Go head, defend his fucking rights.

Yeah, I don't trust someone who is actively promoting taking over the world by means of violence.  Even if it is just a fucking avatar.  It stands for something and innocent people die each day for what that avatar stands for.

So get me fucking banned for giving a terrorist supporter negative trust.  That would be so ironic, but as long as it sits well with your moral compass.

Let's just finish that thought off with a question as to why r/btc exists?  Rules can be broken, but not when it comes to letting terrorist supporters spread their cancer among us.

Mexxer, I've removed the neg by the way - it served it's purpose.

You were promoting the ponzi directly in your Personal text, and posting outside the Investors based games. Which is why the neg

Also, good thing you finally are managing your trust list but others can still see the neg from DT as trusted, as most users have DT in their trust ist by default

Forgot to add I do think it is unfair for users to be given negative trust for participating in a Ponzi thread - a neutral would be better - as the punishment   for participating and for actually carrying out the Ponzi scam are the same.

So the victims of the scam are punished twice, sometimes a third time as there has been occasions where a sig campaign has kicked them out for the unjust punishment of receiving a neg feedback.

Maybe the heavy handed self appointed Ponzi police should think a little of the ramifications of their actions.

Another assumption but thats a fact for you, right?

Have seen this happen on enough forums to know it ends bad for everyone.

I don't like people seeking it out like its the hip new thing. If its the same people all day long, maybe theres a reason.

The language used or snarky responses just proves its not about community and about image. Building trust to get more business, get more power.

More sinister, the long scam once the dominoes are in place. Scammers are all about building trust.

Its not about community, so its?

you even dont know what abuse is. just face the facts: you dont like certain ratings because you dont agree with them. doesnt mean someone got abused... get over it

But you are lumping people that disagree as people that just hate the people, its the tactic that is the issue! Not gonna go at any other aspect, think you mean well.We are talking about abuse of ratings in paticular, title might have thrown you.

Simply put, no matter what people say in this thread, people give them for whatever they think they need to give it.
Some are crusaders looking for scammers, others just dont like the other etc etc.
It is just abused.

Negative reps are here to publicly show how "(un)trusted" a user is. Trustable people get +reps, and and other people trust them. Scammers get -reps, and people don't trust them.
