Is it just me or has the mood around bitcointalk darkened since these adjustments to the DT list happened? I see a lot of sniping--more so than usual, and I realize I'm not one to talk, as I can rip new anuses with the best of them. I don't know, I could be wrong. Seems like some of the senior members who usually adopt a neutral tone have gone on the attack.

I do see that. All is good now, but I see other members (not just Lutpin) on that attack stance first thing.

I think OP realizes his mistake of giving out a rep loan and hopefully he won't do this again. The question is at what point can these things be forgiven?

At what point can you believe these things to be said as true? Has OP stuck around long enough yet? Creating a new account and abandoning the old is usually not a good sign but thats just my opinion.

The thing is, you cannot really tell.
This is not us being coworkers in cubicles, but strangers running an online community on the net.

I think that I fucked up badly, as you can tell by the sheer amount of work I have had, and still have to do to get my rep cleared.
However, was 4 months ago giving a rep loan w/o understanding the bigger picture worth getting all the negatives four or five months later?

I agree with what you are saying.

I feel like it was right, for in order for me to clear my rep of the previous negatives, major apologizing and talks with the people who gave those negatives were needed.
On the other hand, people not involved should not be throwing more dirt on the pile, doesn't help at all.

I mean, it's really hard to figure this stuff out.
You either have a system that slams down on scammers and the like, and imprisons a few innocents in the system, or you are too lax, and scammers continue to prey on members.

I understand it isn't a good practice, especially when we are dealing in the business of feedback, but honestly, it's just a pain to log in and out of BTCT accounts.
I have had this account since Nov. I believe.
I can start swapping out each message by a different account if you want Tongue

Thanks, everyone, for listening.
