I don't understand why some people insist on being so nasty. It doesn't even take much to be nice to people. The world needs more love.
This is the internet. Somehow the psychology is that when you're nameless and faceless, the worst of you just comes to the top. It allows you to say things that normally you wouldn't say in real life. That's just how it is, how it's always been since the beginning of the internet (and I remember it from the early days).
This is why trying to rank up here is pointless. Opening topics and things will only get you noticed until someone doesn't like you and then for some reason they are totally ok with ruining someone's account.
That's not true unless you're obviously trying to rank up, in which case you're probably going to get a bad reputation if not negative feedback (which would be unwarranted). It's hard to rank up, true, but it's supposed to be that way. I don't think Theymos wants the forum going back to the pre-merit system days when account farming and shitposting was out of control, and I sure as hell don't.
Why do people who have endless negative trust become DT memers anyway? The user has many serious accusations against then for actual potential crime (Like fraud & I get my account ruined because someone like this just feels like it)
I'm on DT and take a look at my trust page. I've probably got more negs than positives. But have I ever scammed anybody here? Nope. The negs are the result of how the trust system works, which is that you can leave a neg for any member for any reason, and a lot of negs on DT members' profiles are retaliatory. Always check to see if there's a valid reference link.
