Now this a example so you could understand how things work in the real world, if you own color ferrari red which is: #ff2800 and if I want to use #ff2800 I have to ask you for permission, and if you say no I won't use it but if I have color #ff2802 that is no more ferrari red, it's another color that you don't own. That's how pattern work in real life.
You know that if you want to use other people's work, then you have to ask for permission, thats how things work in the real world right? And now, this guy doesnt do that. So you basically just ask me to show which rule that supports your own words?

You understood the wrong thing from my example:
In my example your signature was color #ff2800 and what I have now it's #ff2802 It has something from your signature (I never saw it), but it has all different characteristics and that makes it unique.
Example: You can not expect that if you are typing "XJY" to your signature and if I'm typing "JXY.w" to my signature, you can not say that it's still yours just because it has the same 3 letters in different order.
Another example, if you invent scratching your back with right hand, and I use the left hand to do it, both actions have the same result, but it's not your invention because I use it differently then you have used it.
I don't know how many examples I can give you to make you understand that maybe it has some of your design (again, I never saw your signature), but I'm sure that it has some different futures, so it's unique.
I have explained everything on my post above, and I dont give you negative trust.
He doesn't even know the basic difference between the trust system and the forum rules, yet he keeps playing the "I know what abuse is" card. Therefore, you're just wasting your time with him. Just put him on ignore.
As a OP you can not pick sides. As a OP you give negative trust to those who you worked with, not other ppl. You are confusing being a member and being OP. If you want to be OP do your thing as OP, but don't use the same user for member and OP because you are bending the rules in your favor. And that's why it's a abusive action.
When you talk about trust system of this forum there is a big difference between a negative trust that someone from the community gave you, that you had business with, and there is another thing when a OP is giving you a negative trust, when you didn't had any connection with that OP. Like in my case.
I partially understand the negatives for Alttradex, it's your opinion - you had interactions with him, it's kind of he said, she said... but when it comes to me, there is a big difference I just participate in a Signature Bounty.
If a whatever member of this forum gave me a negative trust, well that is his opinion, and if I screwed him over (which I never I will) I would deserve it, but when a OP gives you a negative trust, everyone will understand that I had business with you, which I didn't, and for sure I will never have. (you have the tendency to bend the rules in your favor, and I don't trust you)
