I have nothing against members you mentioned in your example, but maybe it's time to check again all sticky topics and update what is needed.
It's not only issue with negative trust, but I think some topics are really outdated and others need to be deleted.

I fully agree with you here. It is, indeed, a lot of obsolete information... But this would also imply an entire campaign from administration for revamping all these topics and I am not sure if anyone would be willing to do this entire work. Instead, what I proposed was referring only to a part of the whole which needs revamping, thus being a little easier to achieve.

I don't see big issue there. If content is still good, I don't think their topics should be removed from stickies just because author of it received negative trust.

None does matter except the contents of the topic. The contents are still useful, still a good guide to report a scam accusation. So all seems good.

How can I explain this better...? In my opinion, having a good material, but presented by someone with negative Trust is like a stain on the face of the topic or on the face of the respective board. Imagine a corrupt politician presenting a good material in front of public. If everybody knows he is corrupt, that material loses its credibility. However, in our case it also leads to losing the credibility on the respective board, since it contains sticky topics from those which are scammers or which have bad reputation, negative feedbacks, flags against them and so on.

How would it be to have a sticky topic written by CSW or Roger Ver inside Bitcoin discussion board? Would you believe anything from it? Furthermore: wouldn't you ask yourself "How was it possible to have here a sticky topic written by that clown?" -- do you understand now what I mean?

Lauda also had negative trust even before he left the forum and got banned, other members found some cases when he did plagiarism in his early days, but I think we have several sticky topics from him.

Compering Lauda with escrow.ms is only viable with the feedback of their trust page. I don't think the OP was talking about only the feedback page but the whole escrow.ms thing. Lauda banned herself and wanted to disappear with her own will. If she would not decide to disappear then she would still thrive.

Lauda... is Lauda

What can I say. Lauda is a different story. For one reason, she is not actually banned... I think it's more appropriate to say that her account was locked. Okay, technically speaking she was banned, but she was banned in same way Satoshi's account was banned

Done. Lauda is banned in the same way as satoshi, such that it isn't possible to even log into the account anymore.

Excepting that, some of her negative feedbacks are referring to her departure:

qwk   2020-12-01   Reference   Farewell Lauda.
Dabs   2020-11-08   Reference   Lauda said Goodbye, world! Account is no longer active.
Vod   2020-11-05   Reference   Do not trust this account should it ever post again.

The plagiarism accusation... if you remember, she was never sanctioned for it, therefore mods / theymos did not consider it plagiarism, although, maybe, it was.

I would not insist more on Lauda as I know opinions are very different from user to user. In any case, she also has some topics which contain obsolete information and they need revamping. One of them is this one: [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?.

In any case, something should be done with all these topics, either if we talk about obsolete ones or about the ones written by scammers or users with shady reputation.
