So exactly why is it you running a business here and making your trust system choices on your own "selfish reasons" is A-OK,
There is no connection between my "
trust system choices" and running my business. Provide evidence to the contrary if you want to make that claim.
but because a regular contributing member wants to earn a few Satoshis on a signature campaign, that is just despicable?
By his own admission he isn't a "
regular contributing member" is he?
Legitimate users put a lot of time, monetary risk, and effort into building a reputation here.
Are we still talking about the OP, or are we talking about your insatiable desire to be on DT1?
If that is not treated seriously then all you are going to get is a deluge of bought accounts because anyone who dares to do it right is perpetually incentivized not to. Or they simply just leave because their investment can be burned at the drop of a hat by control freaks like Timelord that more than anything just love to have people begging them to have their property restored, most often as users without the knowledge or community connections to resist in any way.
Grasping at straws to make a connection, and sounding like a "broken record" (your words, not mine) while you're at it, but I'll entertain a response none the less.
Timelord2067 isn't burning any accounts. He's 9 votes down in the hole from reaching DT2. His reviews aren't ruining anyone's account any more than the reviews left by game-protect. If a campaign manager chose to not allow members into his campaign due to the reviews left by game-protect, who are we to argue? It's his campaign to run anyway he chooses. There's no obligation for any campaign manger to allow anyone into their campaign, no matter how much you may dislike the decision.
But, that's not what this is really about, we both know it. So please, next time you want to attack me for my vote to cast you off DT1 just start a fresh topic about that subject. Trying to constantly tie it into other topics is a thinly veiled strategy of yours and we're both likely to have our replies removed.
I am only making connections you yourself made with your own words.
I have my reasons for valuing Timelords efforts. I run a business here that leaves me very vulnerable to those who abuse alt accounts. So, yeah I find "his efforts are a tremendous contribution." I may have my selfish reasons, but I also expressed that "I may not always agree with his findings." If you're going to quote me, please be thorough, not selective.
Did I selectively edit anything out? It looks to me like you are saying that you value Timelord's ratings because it personally serves you economically regardless of the negative impact his irresponsible shotgun approach has on others.
No, not by his admission, by your opinion. He returned to earn in a signature campaign by his own words. Just because you unilaterally declare that as making him worthless doesn't make it so. Not everyone can feed off of the trust system parasitically like you can loan sharking. If he was not contributing to the forum HE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE HERE. He would be removed from the campaign for shitposting and or banned. Just because you deem his presence as worthless from your pedestal of righteousness and judgement doesn't make it so. You are both here to earn. You are not better than him.
I am talking about the OP, and the long standing culture of having no regard for the time, effort, and cost people expend building their reputations and defending them from people such as yourself preaching from a self proclaimed position of superiority justifying the destruction of this community for self serving purposes. There is a whole protection racket evolved around this forum's trust system. It would be a shame if something were to happen to your hard earned reputation for not doing what we tell you... This is a pattern that repeats over and over and over again. You think you are better than these people and you have a right to discard their grievances, because it serves you more to do so than to hear them, not because it serves the cohesiveness of the overall community.
Timelord is burning people's reputations, he is directly removing the ability to earn from people based on little to no evidence with frivolous accusations. This thread is direct evidence of the damage he is causing. I am not even criticizing Yahoos choice, I am criticizing Timelords actions, so your argument about him running the campaign anyway he likes is a non-sequitur. It is clear you are well on your way to seeing yourself as a special boy with special privileges and special rules. Just make sure you toe the line, because you know what happens to people who have their own opinions around here don't you? Yeah you do special boy.
