So is that a no? Was this act years ago suspect and slimy? Sure. Was it anything worse than other so called trusted members have done? Absolutely not. He just happened to be the one who got caught. He was out of control and needed to be taken down a few pegs and that is exactly what happened. He misrepresented himself but he didn't steal from anyone. Furthermore this was a time in the forum where things were more fast and loose and there were no clear lines of what was acceptable. I don't condone it but I think this flag is motivated out of retribution rather than a genuine belief he intends to defraud anyone.

As long as he can control himself I think the forum is better off with him than without him, and that is said as a former target of his. If we aren't providing an avenue for reform all that is going to happen is he s going to regress to his previous behavior. Giving him this opportunity means he has incentive now to earn back his reputation instead of just shit slinging. You can only beat some mules with a stick so many times before they stop caring, some times you need to try carrots too.

I gave him an opportunity to even earn some a while back.. see where that got me? Roll Eyes

Do you honestly believe that the numerous baseless claims and accusations is something the forum really needs? The only reason I even hired QS in one of my campaigns was because of how much he does in the beginners section, which I do acknowledge and can even respect to certain level. But then it's like a 360 and he comes up with something new that is dodgy to say the least, mostly targeted at someone that would otherwise be considered "more respectable".

Believe you me, if he came after you with something I would have the exact same reaction. The flag is needed, now that their profile doesn't look too shady.

but then you took it away via non transparent means with no explanation at all? that is shady

Now you are just laudas bitch and also a trust abuser. When you line up all of your recent actions

1. refusal to be transparent regarding your campaign selection/refusal
2. supporting a dox and risking the boards money and the safety of the boards treasurer
3. Trust abusing people
4. apparently stealing 0.5btc from a project?

then we can see that QS does not look so bad in comparison to you does he? you are fortunate that QS has not started a flag for you hhampuz because that would seem to be perhaps worthy of a higher flag level than his own.

To be fair QS escrowing "danger" seems less worrying that laudas own escrowing debacle.
