Even trusted members like LoyceV are afraid to speak against them and believed their stories, by giving merit to their assumptions.
For the record:
my Merit means I think the post is worth reading. If you make an accusation against a highly trusted user, I think their reply deserves Merit. That doesn't necessarily mean I agree.
Isn't this abuse of power that you scam people and if they report it, you leave them -ve feedback.
If a scammer would do that, it would be abuse of power and they should be removed from DT. However, in this case, I haven't seen evidence Stunna scamming.
So Stunna tagged Baskin198 because they believe the user engaged in match fixing. On the other hand Baskin198 saying he is not involved with any fixing. All we have is you and me words and since Stunna has a weapon to silent anyone creates scam accusation against them, they used it.
Negative feedback isn't meant to silence users.
What if today I would have been in the same situation like Baskin198 and I would say that I did not fix match. How would I prove it that I really did not fix the match.
You can't prove that, and that's a problem. I'd say this should be a reason not to engage in sports betting at all.
if they would have solid proof
To me, this seems like a case that can't be resolved here on Bitcointalk. We can't know for sure what happened, which makes it a case for a judge. As far as I know Stake is licensed, so you can get a lawyer to get to the bottom of this.
