Avatar was online for few hours. I have copied from legendary member Jeremycoin. He was using it until yesterday. No red trust is given to him even after I have pointed this out.
So you are guilty of what Hilariousandco tagged you for. Who did Jeremycoin copy the avatar from? I didn't get to see it.
It's not the end of the world. You can still make a good reputation here for yourself and eventually someone will trust you into a signature campaign.
Why not send Hilariousandco a PM in a year or so? He might reconsider.
Hi Vod,
Thanks for another comment in my thread.
I am not guilty and I don't know why Hilariousandco interpreted my avatar as an advert to trade merits. This was not what I meant and even if I made a mistake I don't deserve red trust only a warning.
Remember Vod that merits were only a few days old and there were no clear rules how to use them. That is why I was in merits thread to learn about them and where I saw Jermycoin avatar. I thought that this will be a great way to use my avatar to let people know that I will reward them for quality posts. Avatar was too small to put inside him my merit policy that is why I have added such a policy to my personal text and signature next day. I think Jermycoin means this same even without merit policy.
I don't know why Hilariousandco interpreted this differently as an advert for merit trading. Giving me no chance to explain myself with a warning only tagged me with red trust despite 5 and half years of my contribution to Bitcointalk forum without one problem. I think I deserved a second chance in such a situation.
Once again I haven't traded merits or wanted to give in exchange. Missed quotation issue was resolved before Hilariousandco tagged me.
