For one thing, I haven't gone back to that original thread where you and Vod were discussing this after he'd left his feedback.  I recall getting the impression when I first read it that there was something fishy afoot but don't remember what it was. 

For another thing, not every drama that happens on bitcointalk immediately becomes my issue.  I don't get paid to be on DT, and most of the tags I leave on users are for account selling/buying.  I'm not required to right every wrong here, and it wouldn't be possible to do so anyway. 

I have great respect for Vod, as he's done outstanding work in warning people about scammers through the feedback he's left and if you think he's left feedback (or part of a feedback) unfairly, ultimately that's between you and him.  I'm not going to neg Vod if he made a mistake in one of his feeedbacks, nor would I leave you a counter-positive as actmyname did, because I think what you did in your auction was wrong.

We could argue till the end of time whether bidding on your own auctions is ethical, but I'm not going to change your mind on that and I'm not changing my opinion of it either. 

The Auction section really should devise a set of rules--instead of "suggestions"--that members need to abide by so as to avoid situations like this in the future.  We've got people from all over the world, and a practice that's acceptable in Finland might be baffling (or considered untrustworthy) to other members from other countries.  There are no written community standards or rules in place (as far as I can see), and that should be rectified.
