Sorry, but I am not here to go Sherlock Holmes on every one, most of us are here to built a trusted and productive community. Not by harassing them with power but letting them know how to adjust. You just always attempt to hamper once reputation in any way you can when a person tries to get in a positive discussions or in anti-DT mode.
You should see OGnasty and also TECSHARE are here from pretty much time doing good deals, but I am sorry to see them removed from DT. This is totally a wrong judgement if seen by a normal person ( a person not engaged in DT wars) people with high trade on the forum have a low feedback value than other recently upgraded members and also some type of "clique" I need to admit it.
You could just see the effect in meta and reputation board there are large number of users protesting, you should not say all of them are alts its a very childish reason for this large number of accounts!
In the case of members who actually do have a reputation, their only strategy is to attempt to diminish that with accusations and mobbing, because that is all they know how to do. They are used to being able to dismiss every complaint as a scammer or an alt, and in a constant mindset of either you do way I say or you are a scammer or supporting scams, not because I have proof, but because I said so. This is why we need a standard of evidence for rating.
