Since the incident of lightlord issues of payment, the man has not being coming online and mostly login it's bitcointalk account regularly, and the red trust was harsh on light lord, so that's is what i noticed that thing demoralize the activeness of lightlord in the community, so for the signature campaign both bitvest and 777coins is no longer active the way it was, and many people who is campaign manager have learnt a lesson through that, to build it's reputation back is easy and it's left for him to fix it back.
It wasn't really a red trust that he got there but it was only orange which tells that his case wasn't really that severe compared to those users who had a red trust because those cases usually involved scamming and other serious crimes.
Maybe you are right that lightlord got disappointed because of this orange trust he got but I think it was also his fault because he is keeps on delaying the payments and then when the participants ask him if what's the reason behind it, he hardly make a reply. I think this is pretty annoying on the participants' side but luckily there are kind people on the forum who are concerned and help sorted out the issue.
Thats negative trust, doesn't matter it's red or still on orange. The problem is, the payment was delayed until 2 months, no one would wait for such long time like that for their payment, that's why they complained to lightlord. Lightlord has serious issue back then he said, but don't know whats the issue, and hopefully the issue happened to him already solved.
