This could be pointed as an trust abuse, you could make the tag neutral, until it is proved. Yes, negative trust would not effect me, but you know it shows bad repo of a person and I cannot bare it as I have not done anything scammy here.
What would you need the reputation for?
Like you said, it wouldn't [effect] you.
A negative rating stands out to those that would do trades with you.
Given the possibility of a compromised account, it's better to guard against anything in the event that a new owner does scam.I agree, especially since it is a VIP account. A VIP account could do a lot of damage if it falls into the wrong hands. Looking at the earlier posts made by BTC_Bear I find it incredibly hard to believe that he/she would store their bitcoins on a HDD without backing up their private keys.
