Well staff agreed you were abusing the trust system and excluded you as a result. I would say that is pretty solid substantiation.
I don't see that Vod has been excluded from the trust system by staff. I find that staff members Cyrus, Welsh and HostFat have included him and no staff members have excluded him. Are your confusing the trust system with the merit system? I do believe Vod was removed as a merit source.

The lack of action here by the staff is clear evidence of his protected position regardless of how much he abuses the trust system.
Tecshare, Badbear removed me from his trust list. I do not have a protected position on default trust.
Stop lying about me.I'll go add the reference to the trust now and put this to rest.

Badbear was a moderator at the time. Moderation is a paid position. Paid position =
staff.
