You dont remove the ratings based on that though, right?

Based on what? I don't quite follow.

We just found a legit reason to have multiple accounts, thus there is no long a reason for you to assume having multiple accounts or engaging in account trades must always result in spam or scam. That would make it reasonable to remove the ratings you left with that reasoning.

No, the number of accounts does not necessarily degrade the post quality. I could make every new post with a new account it wouldnt change the content of the posts.

I'm not saying that it necessarily implies low posting quality, I'm saying that generally that is the case.

Which make your negative ratings a generalization.

Yet you (or do others?) claim your ratings had a significant impact on spam. Both cant be true. If they dont matter, remove them.

I claimed that my ratings left for spamming had a significant impact on spam?

At the very least you have to believe they reduce spam. Otherwise it would be pointless do leave them in the first place and instead of exchanging arguments with me, we both could do something (more) constructive.[1]

Whats theymos stance on leaving ratings for spam?

It's probably the same, although I asked specifically for that idea that I had. This is why I didn't follow up on it / DT1 members wouldn't support it either (even though every member I asked liked it).

I would think so too. Yet in one case you follow their advice in the other you dont. I wonder why.

[1] granted we both get paid (either directly or indirectly) for posting, Id still prefer to help someone in tech support et. al instead and Im sure you have other things on your plate as well.
