That is the problem with these seniors and DT members, they never treat us as community.  I too got negative trust asking for merit, but even though I apologized publicly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4666456.0) as well as in DM, my negative trust is not removed and also not bothered to reply in DM or in my thread.  Is this how we should be treated here??  And sadly, admins or anybody cannot help on this matter, they have given them license to kill newcomers and they are on spree.  They need to understand that selfish Bounty Hunters will not bother to fight for their account.  They will simply switch to another account or may be buy.
