As a forum user who has suffered significantly from the spam problem, I have left my own feedback for #1183469 “trugad”.  Note the long list of users who have submitted what on the face of things is farmed positive trust feedback.  (I took a screenshot of the same list, although I have not yet uploaded it anywhere.)

#1183469 “trugad” (herein: “the spammer”) openly admits against interest to being a bounty campaign manager who paid for posts.  That is:  Admits to paying for spam.  Posted a whine thread complaining about negative feedback from ibminer, administrator mprep declining to interfere with ibminer’s independent decisions, etc., ad nauseam.  Then, admitted and averred to trust farming (“how to earn a positive ‘trust’? I asked my clients to write me a positive opinion, but they do not count.”).  When aTriz called this out as trust farming, the spammer accusing aTriz of trust farming.

The spammer claims ignorance of the rule against paying for posts.  That is: claims ignorance that spam is bad, *and* admits not reading stickied rules.

Spamming is *untrustworthy behaviour*.  Whining about the consequences only adds insult to injury.

Note:  In the time since ibminer left negative feedback on 2018-02-21, whereas the spammer admitted soliciting positive feedback, the spammer has received the following positive feedback.  Most is generic and does not provide a reference link.  **Some or all of these users *probably* left positive feedback due to positive feedback having been solicited from them:**

2018-02-23: “I think he's a very professional and experienced bounty Manager. I participated in a blogger's bounty and I think he is right and honest. And the fact that he likes order and forces to write reports, it is plus to his work as any bountist can prove on reports that he is right. When there is a report it is difficult for a person to make a claim that he did not do his job.”

**Prior to ibminer’s negative for spamming and the admitted subsequent solicitation of positives, the spammer only had a single feedback entry:**  A positive, from a user also listed above:

This feedback is made consistently with my trust feedback policy:

Whines > /dev/null.


Edit, P.S.:  In case that last line be ignored, I reserve the right to publicly post PMs, e-mails, etc. from spammers and/or spam supporters and/or spammer supporters.

Edit:  Fixed two typographical errors.  Also fixed in the trust feedback.
