Alright guys,
I have been trading BTC/USD, market exchanges, lending to people, lending to friends, and I even run my own investment portfolio, where I have collected over .17 in capital money.
I am a very trust-worthy person, and do not believe in scamming, one mbit.
and im obama.
Now I realize, yes, bad things have happened around rep. loans, as people continually ask for bigger and bigger amounts, and eventually shit on the people, scamming once the amount becomes high enough,
however, it's a newbie guy, Spartacus17, who wants to start making trust and doing escrow as a service to others on the forum

I read through some of the replies, and see some nasty remarks about scamming and how he has to buy trust, etc.
its not 'sometimes,' its most of the time. reputation is worth a lot more than you think or are making it out to. secondly, you do not 'make trust,' you earn it over a long period of time. i would bet a testicle that all of the users on this forum that are or were once considered 'trusted' by the community got to that point over a long periiod of time where they consistently displayed honesty in their actions, not some pathetic 30 cent 'reputation' loan.
I thought that was really fvcked up, as everyone was beating on him, and his trust, the very thing he was doing this for, was completely trashed by trolls who think anyone who makes a rep loan deserves hell for eternity.
He asked for .001, in return upon confirmation.
whats fucked up is that you do not understand this simple concept of a person that might, you know, be
lying on the internet to scam a few pennies, or a user buying trust so that they can appear trusted to have a greater chance of succeeding in their future scams. now who would do that? just go on the internet and take a whole 3 seconds to create an account and spread lies? who? /s
I thought it was a win-win situat. b/c either he is a scammer, and he gets blasted once he locks posts and runs tail between legs off the forum with his quickly made goodies, or he is legitimate, and he proves he is above it.
'im going to knowingly help this random ass guy gain rep so he can pull off a scam in the future. that is a win / win situation since i get money.'
are you 10?
I have been a relatively new member of the forum, but I have always went out of my way to help people, and allow people to put their trust in me, whether I am doing services for them, trading BTC for cash, or overall paying for commodities.
I have three untrusted(don't understand why that doesn't go towards score) positive feedbacks, talking about good trades, and being honest and sending my cash whenever I did giveaways, why those don't go to show on my trust score, who knows.
seems youre relatively new to the world too, that or just extremely sheltered or something. maybe both.
I, as of typing, have two negative, and very nasty feedbacks, solely for the act of seeing if a guy who wants to get into escrow biz, is trustworthy.
escrowing deals isnt a business. it takes time and is a service, sometimes a voluntary one, to help the members of the forum get their deals done while ensuring safety on both sides. what kind of trust would there be in an escrower that bought all their reputation? none. i answered the rhetorical question for you because i thought you might not get the obvious answer.
I think the ability to post baseless negative trust scores, which are basically accusations, is very wrong, as I am completely against scamming, and dislike when people point fingers and accusate.
If I scammed someone? Hell Yes I Should be labeled.
If I was holding escrow, and ran? Hell yeah I should get shit on for that.
But testing out a reputation loan? No, I shouldn't.
its not baseless. you knowingly abetted someone in possibly attempting a future scam. exactly how is that right again?
I agree, reputation loans sometimes are complete scams.
However, this guy is an honest guy, who wants to go into the biz with some green on his side, so he can make some biz

After he saw my negative feedback(s), he sent me a pm, saying,
"Thanks for trusting me. I see you got hit with negative trust, I won't mind if you remove the positive trust you gave me to hopefully get rid of the negative trust people gave you."(spartacus17, pm)
I basically replied, saying you should not do rep. loans from now on, as it is associated with scamming, and also will get you BASELESS NEGATIVES REVIEWS from people, who don't even know you. However, I did say I will not remove my positive review of him, and will fight to make this BS w/ the negative trusts stop.
It should be not allowed, that you can place negative reviews on who-ever the fvck you want to, just b/c they were trying to help a guy.
Please fix/look at..
Feeling disgusted..

see above statements to see why this section of your post is exceptionally stupid.

so, this entire time, you knew the implications of a reputation loan, and you still went with it. are the metaphorical cogs in your brain turning at all yet? you dont seem to have used it for quite some time considering you made this contradictory statement.

yeah help a guy scam.
Feeling disgusted..
