Stop being melodramatic, if you care so much you should just buy a fresh account. One thing I will say is I wish TP was consistent in his approach to account dealing. If you're going to tag people for it, I don't think it is really fair to be selective about it.

An example of this can be found where? Is this another case of "You're doing something wrong. Even though I haven't pointed out exactly what it is, I'll still complain about it."?

Do I really seem like the type of person to make accusations like this without any proof? Here is an excellent example of it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1492296.0

I didn't imply that; re-read my statement again. I was wondering whether you've pointed this out to him before you've complained here and what his response was.

My bad, you're right. I did bring it up after I saw cabsav was ignored. I assumed TP would read it, since that whole thread was about him, but perhaps he didn't. TP was removed from DT shortly after, so I forgot about it until now.

TP gave negative trust to everyone who bid in that thread (as per their rating's reference link)... except for the staff member and the guy who had positive trust at the time. They all did exactly the same thing, shouldn't they all be equally untrustworthy?

Yes and no. Depends on the exact details of the case. If it were him giving negative ratings now for that thread, then I'd argue that letting them *slide* was understandable. However, these ratings were left a few days after the thread was created. I don't know why he would avoid tagging those two randoms (OmegaStarScream was not a staff member at the time so that is irrelevant).
I could argue two things: a) They were non DT ratings, thus consistency and reliability isn't as necessary as with DT ratings. b) These were one of his earlier ratings (within the first 100 sent I believe). I'd expect him to know better now.

Anyhow, the best time to fix it is now.

A lack of consistency in old ratings is completely understandable, but I think we both agree that these inconsistencies should be fixed. The thing is, when most people bring this up, they are dismissed as salty shitposting account farmers. While this is generally the correct reaction, I think there are a number of instances similar to the one I referenced where the issue is not so black and white. Cabsav both PMed TP about it and made that post, yet was ignored on both fronts. If I was in cabsav's shoes and saw that there were (future) staff members doing the same thing in the same thread who got away with it, I'd be pretty upset too. All I'm saying is TP needs to address the selectivity of some of his ratings, when someone has a legitimate complaint he shouldn't completely ignore them.
