LOL what is going on today? Looks like members are into making money from feedback system :-P

It's really hard to believe however screenshot is not enough.
I don't know man, but senior members really need to do shit like this--and I agree with your second statement that the screenshot isn't sufficient proof of anything.  Still, I've got a bad feeling about this and that other thread.

I've gotten plenty of PMs from members I've negged asking me how much it would take for me to remove feedback, so I know other members have probably gotten similar offers.  While it might be tempting to some, it's a stupid-ass thing to do 1) morally, and 2) because you get things like this thread, where apparently after the request was made the other member blows the whistle.  Ethics aside, if you care one whit about your reputation on this forum you'd be crazy to try to extort someone via PM.

I'd be interested to hear what vlom has to say.  Has anyone PM'ed him about this?

A piece of advice for everyone is that they can make money by this extortion activity one time only and that's it. All the reputation and status which they have gained over the years is ruined because the person can expose the PM anytime to anyone. Greediness is the only reason for this act or you can call it misuse of the authority.

Maybe we see more of these things (Real + Fake) in coming days in an attempt to destroy the reputation for revenge.
