I am trying to act neutral here, and both members have misused the system because its purpose is entirely different.
100% with you on this, now this have turned personal nothing else.
We all agree OP did not try to scam anyone and he was transparent in bidding on his own thread, although its subjective but still many of us consider it unethical.
Now Vod and Anduck should discuss it again personally on PMs, it's clear ego is hurting both parties. Vod should unblock him and should discuss with him again. They should know DT members or management is not going intervene since trust is not monitored. (Vod have advantage here being in DT2)
I want to hear more on what other people think on the recent events:
In the end you both are very senior members of the community, be an example to us juniors... show big heart and you both should neutralize your negative trust.
