What assurance do you have to back up that Badbear is Quickseller 100%? I think all if not most of your arguments are either wrong or irrelevant.

Rather than starting a thread, you could have checked the default trust list to see that Quickseller is trusted by Tomatocage, and then Pmed Tomatocage asking for a reason why they added Quickseller.

Better question who the hell is Quickseller and what other accounts does he control?

For someone to gain a Default Trust place through anyone or to act as an escrow or be a pillar or paragon of the community why should he hide behind several anonymous ID's? That is circumspect and the height of hypocrisy given how many times Quickseller is quick to call out shill accounts as scam artists. Why should we trust anyone that hides his identity?

Will this get deleted as well? I suppose it will.

Techshare is correct in "BITCOINTALK STAFF SELECTIVELY ENFORCE THE RULES AND IGNORE CLEAR INSTANCES OF ABUSE TO PROTECT THOSE WITHIN THEIR PERSONAL CLIQUE"

Quickseller / Dogie / Muhammed Zakir are a quite the little echo chamber... there is a long list of these sorts of people being given preferential treatment while others are held to to the "letter" of the law. Seen it too many times across too many threads maybe it is time for Theymos to clean house a bit.

Come now, you aren't one of the trolls who calls censorship abuse when a rule is broken and a post is deleted or a line is censored.

You shouldn't have to give up your pseudonymity/anonymity to be on default trust. You don't have to trust anyone who hides their identity. You can trust everyone or no one if you wish, that's up to you. Why does it matter what accounts someone has? If one of their accounts does something untrustworthy, then that should carry over to their other accounts as well. Persecute Quickseller when someone finds that one of their accounts has done something they shouldn't have.

You are welcome to think whatever you want, but I still don't see how this relates to Staff at all. The only correlation I see is that Staff tend to respond to threads in Meta as that is sort of in the job description. Tomatocage has added Quickseller to their default trust list, Tomatocage is not staff. If you have a problem with Quickseller being on default trust again, talk to Tomatocage about it. I'm baffled by the fact that people are fighting "preferential treatment", but don't respect individuals rights to make their own opinion. Would it not be abuse if someone forced Tomatocage to remove Quickseller? Provide Tomatocage with a list of reasons why Quickseller shouldn't be on default trust, if Tomatocage doesn't agree, then its on him.

I really have a hard time rationalizing what your complaint is. I guess I should first try to understand a few points.

Who is in charge of giving preferential treatment to people?
Why must Tomatocage listen to you?
And who is or should be responsible for counteracting trust of people you don't approve of?
