Nullius is doing what he thinks is right, most disagree with him,

Indeed. Anybody who supposes that I would prefer what is popular over what is right has not read even a single word that I have ever written, and probably doesn’t even know how to read.

Their isn't really any "abuse" anymore.. (other than threats) The game rules are set, play your best match..

By all available evidence, a part of the “game rules” is to accuse people of trust system abuse. Sometimes, the accusations have a rational basis which can be explained with neither repetitious restatements of the labels on things, nor bare appeals to authority, nor chanting the “not related to a trading!!” mantra ad maximam nauseam. —Sometimes, not.

And yes, reporting shitposters is the right way to deal with it. Red trust is not. This has been discussed ad nauseam and it's one of the reasons why merit system exists.

I am quite well aware of why the merit system was created.
Spam and shitposters still exist, despite the merit system (albeit in lesser quantity). I will make reasonable use of all tools at my disposal. If you dislike that, please convey your precious opinion >/dev/null.
As stated below, I also reported that user’s shitpost. My report was marked as “Good”; and as you can verify for yourself, the post is gone. For you see: I do this and that, not this instead of that. What a difficult concept!
As stated below, this occurred in the tech forum. Spammy shitposters SHALL NOT invade the tech forum. nullius says so. You wouldn’t understand.

Anyway, because you are a mature adult, and not a small-minded obsessive wrapped up in petty grudges, I must ask: What are your Very Important Thoughts on negative trust feedback for “fuck you” style insults, made by a DT manipulator who has numerically more inclusions (and more importantly, fewer exclusions) than I do? Please feel free to share.

nullius is not in DT. He's jumped the shark big time

Half of the reason why I am still here at all is some mild amusement: Lo, this spectacle of a schoolyard social clique’s popular kids opining that a university professor has “jumped the shark”! —Metaphorically speaking: I am but an artist, and an amateur in the original sense of the word.

Alas, you cannot share in the joke other than to serve as its butt; for perforce, your perceptions cannot reach beyond your little world.

Why would I care about DT?

Almost immediately after I returned to the forum in January 2020, I predicted that democratic DT would be an horrific mess. My contempt for DT is not sour grapes: It is my response after my foresight proved correct. And I have been consistently critical of democratic DT ever since then.

What do you think about this? Since seems nullius is over obsessive and triggered happy for doing such actions.

Just for context, that particular shitposter had invaded the Development & Technology forum. I reported his post, and it was deleted by the moderators (together with my reply, as I myself requested).

Standards are higher in the tech forum. The culture is quite different there than in Reputation. And although I have not been very active there lately, I am quite defensive of that forum. I report much more there, too—and I make my reports with a 100% accuracy score, knowing that the moderators are stricter there than anywhere else!

Although I reserve the right to issue unmoderated negative trust feedback to spammers and shitposters anywhere, I am unlikely to bother outside the tech forum. Hell, if I were to apply the same standards everywhere, then I would need to tag at least ~~75%~~ 99% of those who post to Off-topic, and at least 50% of those who post to Politics & Society. Do I have time for that? LOL.

Bottom line: If you are an idiotic, spammy little shitposter, stay the out of the tech forum.

I believe the trust system is not intended for this activities.

Your opinions are duly noted, and filed under “taken under advisement”. 🗑️
