here if you haven't already done so just to ensure everything is in a centralised list.
I just did as you suggested assuming this will help to be discovered by DT members.
Should I remove the red trust knowing the person sold the merits?
No, you should not. Not even if they send you a message telling you their kids will starve to death because of your feedback (because that's a lie, as is any idiotic plea like that).
I had bring a second thought in it eventually. With some terms and conditions am removing the red trust. Motive is to keep a proof that they admit their misuse. I wish I was a DT member or a high ranked member to save my ass.
mdayonliner's Red Trust removal T&CThe abuse worsens when you're on DT or a higher ranked member who actively searches for scams across the forum.
Aha yes, that's a good list of the so-far stuff.
$5 per merit, you should donate $5 per sold merit to the forum. selling merits to garbage posters would cost the forum, you should cover that cost. if you are going to pay, try to buy a copper membership and send $250 to that address if you have sold 50 merits.
This link will take you there. note that forum is not asking you to do this, I am suggesting you to do this and then show your TXID to the person who has left you negative trust. show some remorse.
