It looks like hilariousandco didn't like the decision of an admin and left trust against loan shark as a result:
Quote
User was previously permabanned for copy and pasting posts but let off by an admin due to his loaning service. Cheating campaigns and activity by copy and pasting is pretty scammy in itself but the loans are probably only being given to easily build up feedback. The two trusted feedbacks he currently has are merely for using an escrow service and an email forwarding service that he probably only purchased to acquire a cheap positive feedback. Was also infected with bitcoin stealing malware at one point from downloading pirated/cracked software: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1780068.0 so I would take all those factors into consideration when dealing with this user.

[reference in rating]

I am not sure it is right to be leaving negative ratings to get around authority limits as a moderator.

I think what hilariousandco did was absolutely fine.
This green trust color has just way too much power on this forum.

Btw. theymos is definietly not the last word regarding trust... i believe the idea in the beginning has always been for members to remove default trust and to create their own trust list or alternatively to just use default trust as some sort of direction guide for people whom you could trust.
