Time will tell if you are right about whether or not he will be removed.  And it may be that he does some good "busting scams".  I only know that I saw him shouting at people and called him out for it then he began his smear-campaign against me.  As I said, I've never seen him back down or say he's sorry so I can't imagine it happening in your case (and, FWIW, I don't really know all the details of your case to begin with).  I mainly just see him intransigent and exploding every time someone says he's wrong and I know that's not the kind of person who should be trusted with authority.  I think the best we can hope for is that some of the other mods and people on default trust take a close look into how he interacts with people and decide whether they want him on their trust lists.
I agree thats the problem with him. Firstly one he starts a scam accusation, he is hardly seen replying back unless the person starts a thread about him.

As for the mods, it won't happen as there isn't a mod for scam accusations on the thread. People are considered to be responsible enough for their decisions to be safe from scams themselves.

I was referring to the fact that QS is currently trusted by BadBear, who is a mod on default trust.  Therefore QS's ratings show up on anyone he decides to ding.  Because he's so nonchalant about using this power against anyone and everyone he's ever had a quarrel with, and he's absolutely remorseless about this MO, the only hope for those who were falsely accused is that he fall off the default trust list.  This can happen two ways: 1) Badbear removes him from his trust list 2) 2 or more people in DefaultTrust1 write "~Quickseller" in their trust lists (effectivly excluding him).

The reason I think it will happen eventually is tha I was falsely accused by Tradefortress nearly 3 years ago.  At the time, he tried to blackmail me to pay him back an arbitrary amount which he accused me of taking from him.  I wouldn't cave to his blackmail and false accusations and for a while, I had a warning on my account because of the feedback from TradeFortress.  However, history eventually vindicated me because TradeFortress revealed himself to be the kind of person he is and he now has one of the lowest trust ratings around (-500, approx).  He was removed from default trust.  Ironically, it's these false accusations from TradeFortress which Quickseller now considers to be his reasons for neg-repping me.  I'm pretty confident that, just like before, people who side with scammers and liars will eventually make mistakes and reveal themselves for who they are and be removed from default trust.  It happened with Tradefortress, why wouldn't it happen with Quickseller when he aligns himself with tradefortress so nonchalalantly?

Time will tell.

Maybe you can PM badbear and explain him the situation ,and make a thread and explain it in that. So if you are not at fault , then you can have it removed.

It has been done.  Still waiting to hear back from BadBear, I assume he has bigger fish to fry.  I did make a thread about it,but it quickly degenerated into a mudslinging flame-war that wasn't helping anything productive.  QS doesn't back down and I wasn't going to cop to doing something that I didn't do.  Other mods have written back to me about it that essentially it's up to Badbear who he trusts.  I know I wouldn't want QS's rash reactions and flamethrowing rhetoric blamed on me, but we'll see what happens in the end.
