It's the new dt brigade who've been negging users extremely liberally, as has already been mentioned. I would say if dooglus doesn't get negged it's sketchy as fuck. And for the record, I think a lot of the negs I've seen for ponzis are undeserved.
Which is why there is the "~" feature.
However even by those "extremely liberal" standards, and even assuming that some other newbie user had done the same thing - it doesn't appear that a neg trust would have been posted. There was no PSA and there was no actual support for the ponzi, quite the contrary.
I'm not aware of any DT1-2 member negging coders for making changes to open source software that might be used for scamming but I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm wrong.
