How does this sound?

Quote

Originally a farmed account. Farmed means one user creates a lot of accounts and spams the forum to level up. As such, this account (UID) *may*have* been bought and sold a number of times. You should do due diligence if considering trading as it may not be with the same person you previously did business with.

(Optionally)This trust is permanent and will not be removed.

Additionally, if there's no scam accusation, trust is Neutral. If there is a scam accusation, or the account is already in the red, then the above trust gets Red Paint ^TM coating.

Sounds good to me, and I've added a line to explain why a farmed account is a bad account in the first place.

I suppose that can be added, now where do we start? Who gets a liberal dose of paint?

Sorry I have been slow to respond here.
(i am not well versed in the trust system)

Can i suggest waiting/discuss a few more days/a week to see if the "banned" tag is implemented.
Also can we get staff/DT involved, or at least confirm that they do not want to be involved.

I've banned a few thus far (couple hundred total).

Bearing that in mind, is there any point spending time on those, if there really are hundreds of them?
(i am struggling to find evidence of that)

My thoughts on this,

All farmed accounts should be rated the same. If an account has other accusations against it, that should be a separate trust issue.
Trust for "farmed" should never need changing, other trust may.
A standard rating (copy paste) should be used, for ease of application and even handedness and to de-personalise.
A systemic approach must be taken, ie, start at the beginning of the 500+ list, or a month at a time, or "alphabet" lists...
An ad hoc or variable rating approach will be more personal.

Is neutral "red"? (idk) If not, i think it maybe a bit lame, will not show and be ignored?
I would think the minimum red would be the correct trust. (is that -1?)

(1) Originally a farmed account. (2) Farmed means one user creates a lot of accounts and spams the forum to level up. As such, this account (UID) *may*have* been bought and sold a number of times.

1. Once farmed, always farmed.
2. a bit specific, slightly wrong. I told hilarious that was not the case, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597201.msg16650103#msg16650103

If you add "reasons" they will be individually argued against. (you must have seen how "spam" is not even definable - see Daisy14 thread!)
Maybe just keep it simple. "-1. This account is farmed - ref - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670807.0 "

There are hundreds more accounts to be added to the 500+ list - Russian and Chinese farmed accounts mostly.
(as we are now seeing the first effects of in "know alts" thread and "Wings spammers" thread)
Your accounts will be negged to hell in retaliation? Hence "can we get staff/DT involved, or at least confirm that they do not want to be involved."
