Well the guy has left a dozen feedbacks in the last few day's.
So it seems he has no life.

I'm unsure why the mod and admin team leave this so open.
Someone should not be allowed to leave feedback, good bad or neutral without having done a deal or been involved with a person.

He never even comment on the thread.

And posting a neutral that says "beware" is no better than leaving a negative.

At least a neutral will not turn your rating red and make everyone assume you are a scammer instantly.

The standard for leaving negative trust here on the forums has become dangerously low because of people like VOD running around "scambusting", but in reality just accusing anyone with little or no evidence and ruining their reputations preemptively. Is this not what neutral ratings were created for? This kind of behavior is not only pissing off new users and driving them away, but turning them into disgruntled trolls or scammers. Additionally this is the REAL driver for everyone's discontent with the abuse of the trust system, but in stead of cracking down on such frivolous use of the trust system the staff would rather just burn trusted members at the first accusation they receive to make it appear as if they don't tolerate such abuse when they clearly do. This kind of activity is extremely destructive to this community and does little to nothing to stop actual scams. How many valid accusations have to be lodged against VOD before his actions are checked? A dozen? Three dozen? Of course you can always just keep throwing trusted users into the witch hunt fire and pretend like this didn't happen yet again.

I have to say this is one of Vod's stranger negative ratings. I think it was pretty clear why you were lying about your postal code, eg in order to use a service you would otherwise be unable to use.

Your overall trust is still positive so you wont have a trade with caution warning. When people look at your trust I don't think they would be concerned about trading with you because of what they said.

I would be interested to see what he says about why he gave this rating

I'm aware it won't come up but it's still there.
and I never stated my postal code, only that it contained 000, maybe he assumed no such postal codes exist in Canada?
Or for some other reason. I was simply trying to get a Hulu account from Canada

He done climbed up on his horse by himself. Have you tried to talk to him?

Sent two pm's.

But frankly I'm unsure why I should have to talk to him.

I simply stated I can't do the hulu credit card "hack" as my postal code has 000 in it.
and he declares that I'm lieing..

GOD forbid my postal code is something like R0E 0K0... Or wait...

Sorry, but this is the basic equivalent of a person walking up to you in a crowded building and yelling "Hey pretty sure this guy's here to rob you and lie, not sure but possibly!" than walking away. without ever having met you. So It's a bit of a piss off.
and looking at his trader history, seems he runs around the forums doing this.
Why he suddenly pulled up a thread from March though?

So suddenly I have a bad rating due to a post from March, that suddenly VOD decides to rep me on for lieing about my postal code.

No proof, no asking me anything. simply state's I've lied about my postal code and walks away.

Some tread in his sig about neg feedback for noobs and a one month cooling off period?

Seriously?

So now I need to prove to some random guy who from his feedback rating's seems to be on a witch hunt. for doing nothing but asking to buy a hulu account.
Which leaves me with a login and I'd of paid bitcoin... So ZERO risk to anyone helping me.

Guy's like that really do piss me off.
