I believe threads which are intended to draw attention are allowed to do one daily bump, mods if this isn't true, please let me know.

I'm bumping this because every respected member who has looked over this situation is calling for QS to remove his negative trust on me.  Tomatocage seems to be suggesting that I'm sort or collateral damage which shouldn't happen but he's "trusting" QS for some greater good.  I require QS to address these concerns:

1) Everyone around you who you respect is asking you drop these false charges against me.  Why not do so and move on, it will only help your reputation to learn to admit that you can be wrong.
2) Leaving multiple trust ratings from alts is considered trust spam.  Please consolidate your trust ratings from your alts.  You have currently left me negative trust with three separate accounts (note the only other negative I've received has been from tradefortress, who's lies you're currently echoing).

I guess what I want to ask the wider world is also this:

Have you guys noticed how all the dudes jockying for power echo each other's trust ratings like it's a job?  They see that Vod (formerly) or Tomatocage leaves a negative trust then they drop in an echo.  How is this helpful to the community as a whole?  I see how it's helpful for the individuals---they can leave boastful posts saying I've neg-repped N scammers, but really they're not knowing anything about the situation, they're just echoing what others have found out in order to make themselves look good.

Then there's the self-promotion, because this forum often acts like an echo-chamber, we have QS shouting out about how good he is at catching scammers, but what scammers has he actually caught?  I've seen him be wrong many times (me, ndnhc, worhipper_-_, possibly Twister, idk) and I've never seen him back down once he's been shown wrong.  But weekly he posts about how when he's not on default trust, scammers are getting away with it.  But what evidence is that this is actually true?   It works like a rumor mill, he posts 1000 times a day, 10% of those posts are self-promotional, he leaves a million negative reps a day, most (all?) of them echos of what others have said or figured out, and then people start believing it.  Tomatocage: you say you "trust" quickseller (despite the many times that he's obviously been wrong and depsite his intransigence and inability to admit mistakes and his fiery temper and vengeful attitude and his abuse of the trust system (by trust-spamming using alts)) because "he's good at catching scammers".   Can you give us some evidence of this?

Quickseller: can you please leave me alone so I can stop having to defend myself against you?   Please listen to reason and the voices of your peers, everyone on here is asking you to drop this fight.  Ignoring the fact that you are wrong here is making you look bad.

Others on default trust: if TC and QS refuse to engage, I think it's time to ask you to weigh the evidence and consider putting ~Quickseller onto your trust lists until this can be resolved.  It's completely unjust to have a guy with a scorched-earth policy who's been shown to be falsely accusing people more than once and who acts in such an immature and vengeful manner on default trust.  Many people are scared to speak up against him just because of the power he now has and they don't want to end up like me with alts appearning every month to troll them and with false charged painted on their accounts.  At the very least, if TC and QS will not continue the discussion in this thread, please speak up here if you're on default trust to discuss why you will or will not add ~Quickseller to your trust list.
