As I commented months ago on the first thread you created on this matter I think a policy non-escalation from you would have been the best from the very beginning.
That along with admitting and repenting for your mistake likely would have solved the issue before you had to start any thread at all. Which you still won't..
It's not unethical for auctioneer to bid on an auction.
You really still feel that way after so many respected members have tried to correct your viewpoint?
It's not dishonesty or scamming for auctioneer to bid on an auction. Many people agree with me on this, including theymos. This is also very normal in auction houses in Finland. Are they all unethical scammers?
But you still are not satisfied even though you are back in the black.
The wrongdoing hasn't changed at all.
Now you are asking to be added to DT because you feel the only solution is for your multiple retaliatory feedbacks left on him to hold as much weight as his on you.
Retaliatory? Vod blackmailed me, lies about me in his rating (I did not admit anything to him even though he claims so), rated me 2 years after the auction event he uses as his main argument etc. Again DT should not be any kind of elite club. It should merely include those who are unlikely to scam others. It's that simple.. Or should be that simple, but is apparently not.
I think asking for DT is questionably shady
It should
not be an elite club where only the bestest of the best are invited. I see nothing wrong in asking to be added to the list of people unlikely to scam others. Tell me what DT should be if it's not what I describe it should be. Also I'm very interested in how you see the DT... as obviously you see it as something else than "list of people unlikely to scam others".
