My comment was based entirely on nullius' assertion that it's a "custom" on D&T. If true that's a bad custom for the rest of the forum. I haven't looked into any of that myself.

So, you would make unavailable a useful and necessary tool for what I, and no doubt others, regard as one of the most important forums (together with its virtual sibling, Beginners & Help)?

I suggest that before you say such a thing, you should spend some time fighting anti-Bitcoin pseudo-technical FUD, technical scams such as brainwallets, and all-around bad advice.

The forum is not only for trading, you know. I myself have never yet traded with the public here; although I may someday, I did not originally come here for the purpose of making money! I came to the Bitcoin Forum founded by Satoshi, for the immediate purpose of engaging in technical discussions.

Let's just stay on topic for now. Try to convince me how TECSHARE is high-risk to trade with.

If your extremely narrow trading-forum trust feedback standard is harmful to the rest of the forum, I suggest that that's a bad custom for the rest of the forum-

Whats next? Bringing back Risked BTC amount? And/or limiting negative trust feedback to violations of a written contract? Well, that is why we now have Type-3 flags.

Note re my assertion about Dev & Tech: It is not a written rule. Just one of those things that you will pick up if you post there regularly for at least a month or two, check the feedback on other regulars, and see what the smart people are doing.

I don't plan on going any route that you guys are trying to push me into.

Nobody is trying to push you into anything.

You are trying to push me into removing my support for several tags which include negative feedback left by somebody on your explicit inclusions list. I am advising you to apply the same standards without bias: Either ~ both of us, or neither of us. To do otherwise would show poor judgment, at best.

Others here have defamed me as having frivolous feedbackwhich includes feedback left by a staff member who is one of the most highly-trusted, widely-included members of the forum, plus by other tech-forum regulars. It has been pointed out to you that if you agree that that is frivolous feedback, then your tilde key will start to be quite busy if you uphold your own purported standards. Nobody is trying to push you into anything.

I dont plan on going the route of being pushed into removing feedback is correct according to my own judgment. I will also not be pushed into letting you set a peremptory standard for trust feedback, and then force me to argue according to your exact demands. If I choose to further spend my own time explaining feedback that is self-explanatory, I will not do so on those terms.

Please feel free to make your own independent decisionsas I will make mine, independently of you and everybody else.

To be clear upfront: Threats of ~nullius will have zero impact on my decision-making process. I will not change my decisions to avoid exclusions, any more than I would change my decisions to scratch someones back for inclusionsboth are equally corrupt. I make my decisions independently.
