If we look at precedent, other users have been (justifiably) given negative trust for stealing signature designs. Examples include
Alttradex,
biy,
Crypto_Qv9 and
Untold. I don't think I'm in the wrong in considering someone who steals signature designs to be untrustworthy. I agree that trolling is not a valid reason to leave a negative trust feedback so I've reworded the trust rating.
Lets go through these 1 by 1.
Alttradex - this guy stole a signature to promote his ICO; his intention was to profit directly from use of the signature. AFAIK, Gyrsur is not an employee of zkSNACKs Ltd., the company that performs the CoinJoins using Wasabi Wallet. He had no intention of profiting off somebody else's work. Nor did he use the signature for the purposes of a campaign.
biy - same thing, copied w/o permission in order to promote their own project
Crypto_Qv9 - same thing
That is a fair point. I still feel like stealing a signature design to promote something that you like is in a trust 'grey' area; if someone took the BestChange signature, edited it to be for Binance (without an affiliate link), I'd still consider to be somewhat unethical, as someone paid for the signature to be created for a specific purpose, and a different person used the design without permission and/or payment.
Untold - this guy doesn't have any negative feedback. He has a neutral from yahoo that reads
FWIW Untold talked with the signature creator, apologized, paid compensation and stopped using the copied design.
Basically, I can see how what Gyrsur did was annoying, but he had no intentions of acquiring a profit from his actions, and once reprimanded, he removed his signature (even if only after putting up a fight). I don't see how this equates to trade risk.
I personally dislike the idea of "you can freely take any designs, edit them and use them as long as you don't intend on profiting from them without being seen as untrustworthy", but I can see your point here. I've removed my negative trust feedback.
