@acakf: strategies for figuring out the topic of a thread include:
1) reading the title
Except you've changed the title literally 20 times :s
Cute, but at no time did the title say "thread where people should offer rhetorical questions about the strengths and weaknesses of the current trust system and also kick around quickseller now that he's down"---and that seems to have been the topic that people landed on and that acakf decided to jump in on literlly 4 posts after I provided links to threads about the trust system and asked people to say on topic.
Then again, I offered a few other strategies too, like (2) check the OP. Have you checked the OP? I've done my best to keep the OP and the title up-to-date in what is clearly a developing situation. Would you prefer that the original title from 3 months ago be left? Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I think that anyone spending just a little time to figure out what this thread is about would be able to discern that it's meant to ask QS to justify the negative feedback he gave me based on the discredited word of Tradefortress, and that barring his ability to justify that, that he would remove the feedback.
I dunno, I really thought that this post only 7 posts back now was a reasonable way to recap.
But the topic of this thread is the trust abuse I was suffering from QS, given the recent developments concerning his character, I'm happy to say that all of his his ratings can stand next to tradefortress' along with their reputations in the untrusted fedback section.
The "Wardrick" scenario was potentially the next thing to discuss here, as he appeared out-of-the-blue, ready and willing to inherit the discredited claims of Tradefortress and Quickseller. But this also seems to be slowly resolving itself. At this point, it seems like it's becoming more and more clear that the Wardrick account was being controlled by Tradefortres/hashie, and I'm confident that Theymos/Badbear will figure out what to do about the actions that TF took while controlling that account.
I'll leave this thread open for now, but I'd like to keep it on-topic: ie, regarding the discredited feedback on my account from TF/QS/Wardrick. There are several other threads where we can discuss the actions of quickseller, the difficulties of a centralized trust system, et cetera.
So, now it's been quoted twice in the space of 10 posts. @dogie, were you actually confused about the topic or am I missing the protocol here?
