Lies of TF? You posted you *did* use *bots* to *earn* which is *against TOS*.
Tradefortress' comment was "spammer, defrauded coinchat". Were you using coinchat in the last few months? If so, what were you doing on it?
I used it a few months ago. I didn't realize until now that 'tradefortress' is 'admin' from coinchat. So at least this explains part of the puzzle.
I *did* use coinchat a few months ago and I was banned by "admin". We exchanged some emails in which I asked him what I had done to be banned and I didn't ever get a detailed response. He said I owed him 0.2BTC if I wanted to be reinstated on coinchat. I asked him several times where he came up with that number and what I had done wrong. Each time, however, he just replied tersely about some sort of fraud and paying him back.
The best guess I have at what he was angry about is that I was experimenting with robots on his site using the api the he published (and I as I understood it) he encouraged us to use. I enjoyed coinchat and I learned a lot about node.js while I was experimenting there. I was sad to get kicked off because I had a lot of fun chatting there and gambling on the various robots. What I can't understand is how a site that gives money for chatting is going to cry 'fraud' when I took money for chatting. I mean, the site gave me money and I cashed it out using the site's system. How on earth is that fraudulent?

Hi tspacepilot aka wikib0t aka testycat aka newman aka manny on Coinchat,
-last para from above quote-
Excuse the language but
bullshit. You were using a bot to send automated messages on coinchat and reaping the rewards fraudulently. You know that is against the rules. Nobody with any intelligence will think it is OK to run a bot to spam coinchat and get rewards. Bots are not allowed to earn rewards, bot accounts must have the name b0t in them and you've tried wikib0t. You've also said you "reviewed the rules" through email on Aug 30 and then tried wikib0t.
I have zero interest in wasting time with spammers who try to lawyer their way out.
If an ATM gives you money you shouldn't have got, legally you're in the wrong.
You don't have to sign a ToS for it to be active. Using the service means that you agree with the ToS. Damn, how can someone be so ignorant as you?
You spammed with a bot to get BTC and now TF wants it back. Sounds legit and logical to me.
My 2 cents.
Well. I am going to stick with TF on this one. He abused the system and broke the rules. Why should anyone trust him if he cannot even follow simple rules? I think its good that TF tells people about it.
@redsn0w: At the time of that post, i.e. 2 years ago, TF was in default trust list and his negative feedback was shown as trusted. However, after he was removed, it went into untrusted feedback. Bumping this will only help users and I think this is appropriate.
