@marlboroza: since all negative feedback on OP has been removed, you should probably remove your positive feedback too.
Is adding
counter feedback and giving positive trust to someone an appropriate use of the trust system?
I never agreed with counter-feedbacks. Even if someone is tagged in what I deem to be unfairly in my opinion, I would never give a counter positive trust rating just or the sake of it because there is no justification for it.
My negative rating was left primarily because Fact Finder stated he was using an alt account to post because he did not want using his real account.
I don't think that deserves negative feedback, see:
I don't have a problem with alt accounts as long as they're not used for evading bans. If you're hesitant to say something controversial because you don't want it to be associated with your name, please create an alt account and say it.
I understand what you quoted from theymos but nutildah summed up the scenario very well in an earlier post in this thread
It's a low blow to hound a guy over a loan when the lender has expressly made clear that it's all good. And I definitely would not label OP's behavior of throwing shit around to see what sticks as "trustworthy."
Is Yoshie/JollyGood/Timelord's use of the trust system proper in this instance? Probably not. But its not like they are dissuading the next Vitalik Buterin from participating in the forum. This person was likely issued a red trust by Yoshie on another account and now they are trying to get revenge. It's a blind stab at retribution that is totally tactless given Yoshie's recent misfortune.
