I agree that Vod is sometimes a little aggressive when dealing with people. I wouldn't say that he is entirely to blame as the people he is generally aggressive with tend to attempt a campaign (or in this case campaigns) against Vod. I do however consider him to be fair with his ratings most of the time (as in 99.9%+).

I think a lot of the "Vod drama" would go stop if he were to simply "walk away" once the person he is dealing with starts things like personal attacks and trolling him.

Vod should not be removed from Default trust list as he has way too many people negative rated as scammers and he puts in a lot of time and effort into preventing scams. There are few other, reputable people on here that are willing to put in this much effort into protecting the community.

See the problem I have with this, is that people ASSUME he helps with the scammers. In reality all he does it force them to change names, and in the mean time people who are trying to operate honestly have their hard earned trust burned! Which one are we inhibiting more, the scammer or the honest innocent user caught up in "scambusting" bullshit with little or no evidence? I don't beleive he is providing a service any longer because his standards are so low and he enjoys tormenting people far too much. IMO VOD and other "scambusters" are the main source of mailcontent over the trust system.

I have pointed this out before myself, there are several negatives on his list for things that are totally not scam related, but apparently this is ok for people that are buddies of mods and staff, but not for everyone else. I was removed from the default trust list for a SINGLE INCIDENT of leaving feedback outside the scope of what is considered "Scamming" due to ONE COMPLAINT from some one who was clearly harassing me, but clearly VOD is on the special boys club list where he can abuse anyone he likes thousands of times and just say sorry and remove it and no one does anything about it. If VOD had corrected his behavior and became more careful about how he left his ratings I WOULDN'T CARE, in fact my opinion is people should be able to leave trust ratings for ANY REASON, and if the reason isn't valid the community can decide to start untrusting that user for abuse.

Hey, I know where you're coming from. I almost got removed from DefaultTrust last night for a SINGLE INCIDENT from ONE COMPLAINT. Luckily, I had already spent the day believing I was wrong and was removing the feedback anyway. My sponsorship in Defaulttrust is no different than yours was - except that I am willing to remove unjustified feedback. There has been no one that has complained about me that I haven't easily proven they are a liar.

So I'll ask you to stop lying - I'm not in a special boys club and I don't abuse anyone.

So because the staff don't bother to confront you on the STACK of justified accusations against you, as well as several non scamming related feedbacks, some how our situations were similar? I am absolutely disgusted to be compared to you with the way you act. You are in fact abusive and you are not only careless in how you apply negative ratings to people, you also leave them for things like "annoying" you or "lyng", things which are NO DIFFERENT than what my supposed unjust use of trust was for. Yet there they sit still in your feedback, and staff continue to back you up regardless of how abusive or unrestrained you have become.
