I've left feedback for this user... there is an unpaid giveaway where excuses are being made and at least 2 others saying he has not sent the BTC.
"Moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor."
A reputable escrow would have been a good choice here.
Agreed, full responsibility here. I took for granted the trust under the username on posts. I assumed 0/0/0 meant no negative feedback. I'm not sure how it works, but I guess I have to click the trust link on every single person. I agree with using an escrow, but I feel using an escrow with scammers only enables their further scamming and keeps them functioning on bitcointalk, when what we need is them disabled from plaguing this site.
