I have never paid for trust, nor have I ever used any other account, sock puppet, bought account, new account, etc. (other than the aeon account that was given to me by the previous developer and I use to update the OP).

Every single trust on my account was voluntarily placed there by people I have dealt with in some manner (including the negative ones).

Consider that when evaluating the credibility of people who claim I have a "bad reputation".
