you destroyed so many accounts out of Rage and i witnessed those people begging to have the Neg removed as you and some others just shrugged it off and laughed.

And I still believe there are people who shouldn't be getting paid to spam this forum with nonsense. I didn't destroy any accounts or any lives by giving anyone a red trust based on how bad their posts were. That's just nonsense--members who think bitcointalk is a place to come to work by posting garbage like this ought to be banned, never mind given trust (though as I said, I wouldn't leave a neg on them these days):

I think the future of bitcoin will bright. Because it is the mother of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency is becoming very famous and profitable all over the world.

Yes, I did become hardened to the begging and whining and also to their sense of entitlement and lack of insight into how they were continuing to wreck an awesome forum. Should I have treated these people with....forgiveness and understanding? Hell no! They're the ones who were making the forum much worse for the rest of us.

As I said, I think I removed all of those trusts based on post quality. There were some I missed since last year, and I've been contacted here and there and I've continued to remove those. Even if there were any left, I'm pretty sure those members have either abandoned those accounts or otherwise continued on with the red trust. It was only a small window of a couple of months that actmyname and I were tagging shitposters, which was November 2017-January 2018 (IIRC), right before the merit system was created. Those are all old news now anyway, but I will take a look.
