This thread is a PERFECT example of why theymos needs to seriously look into the DT list and start removing some users.

... who violate auction terms.

Excerpt from auction guidelines:
".....Buyer Tips

Ask the seller any questions you have about the items being auctioned. If you are not sure about the item's condition or if you want more information, you can post your question in the auction thread......"

One of your trust feedback 12/29/2017
"Violated auction term:
If you reply to this auction topic with something along the lines of "use an exchange" (in other words, "commit economic suicide"), you agree to receive & NOT complain about my negative trust rating of 21 million BTC (the amount to eventually be lost to economic suicides?) with this topic as reference URL showing you agreed to this. My rating will not be removed until you pay me the exact amount I lost when I did use an exchange - BTC1.84915808 - the only non-trivial loss of BTC I've ever suffered.

by saying:
"why don't you just sell it in a trading platform"

... which is along the lines of "use an exchange"."

So if a question was worth red trust of a DT-Member, based on your "auction terms", then your "auction terms" seem to stand in contradiction to the auction guidelines.
Maybe it is also helpful to read Marketplace trust guidelines.

Also threats of negative DT-trust on certain questions/statements and demanding money to take back the negative feedback does not seem to me to be the proper way to deal with the heavyweight trust as DT-member.
