Thanks for putting in the effort to write up this list and if you like I can PM each member to either delete their post on their own accord (if that really is my new responsibility as a project owner) or delete it myself as it is a self moderated thread, if that is what the 'watchdogs' here desire.

We always condone our members to promote and post in our communities, as you can see by the thousands of responses, but that does not mean we employ people to post. We incentivize them to, to support the project, but we do not condone any rule breaking.

If you want to believe that we employ people to post, on a thread with already over 5000 responses over the last year, I can't contest that...though in my eyes it's extremely illogical, and purely looking for any reason to keep the red trust there.

If people use multiple accounts, unfortunately as a project owner & representative for a 1+year old project I can't and don't have the time to control that, but again this does not make me or my project untrustworthy, it makes the users untrustworthy. They should be the ones with the rating or warning or whatever is aimed to achieve by painting someone untrustworthy for such a reason.

Yes and my comment still stands, this is more about the reasoning and actual ruling behind the rating rather than the actual rating. It honestly does not effect the project in the slightest, the community is there and knows what we can achieve, but that does not mean that I do not want to know the reasoning or logic behind the entire reason. I don't know what you tried to achieve with this post, but you look (kind of) like an idiot if you're trying to prove something.
