It's a voluntary job they are doing and the community should be grateful to them. Mods are responsible to keep the forum clean from the spammer but the difference is - they are paid (I guess).
DT isn't even a voluntary "service". There are just some DT members who actively tag untrustworthy members. You'll notice a lot of DT2 members
don't. They're just members that either Theymos trusts (DT1) or that members of DT1 trust (DT2).
My question was, if I have never scammed a single penny from anyone then:
There are a lot of members who've been tagged just for making scammy offers. Vod, for example, tags a lot of people who ask for loans with no collateral. I tag account sellers primarily. Neither of us have been directly scammed by the members we've tagged; it's a warning to others that the tagged member might not be trustworthy. That's what happened in your case when you offered to escrow that insane amount and got tagged by hilariousandco, and it's not much different than what some DT members have been doing all along. If you're going to be honest with yourself, you never complained about the trust system before
you got tagged.
In fact, IIRC you reported a lot of abuse/wrongdoings by other members that never affected you directly but which led to members getting red trust.
Why people get scared and bullied me when I wanted to trade only £111 paypal?
So given what I just pointed out, how is it you're now being "bullied"?
- Why some member think red tagged members like me should not rank up hence they usually skip meriting my posts.
That's demonstrably untrue--look at how many merits you've gotten. Hell, even though I don't agree with most of what you said in your post here, I gave you 2 merits for it since you obviously put some effort into it and wrote it clearly enough to understand. And the fact is that I haven't seen you a lot around Meta lately, so if you're making fewer posts you're going to earn fewer merits (don't know if you're posting in any other section I might not visit).
