Re: The curious case of sticky topics created by authors with negative Trust
⭐ Merited by The Sceptical Chymist (3)
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?
Technically it's make sense it's need to be a good people who need to representing a good content, but I think this forum doesn't that strict for having such kind rule. I've seen a lot users are having two or more personalities which you can find it easily on Bitcoin discussion or Beginner & Help where the user saying "I hate centralized exchange", but after looking at his other post you will found he's admitting he was using centralized exchange.How would it be to have a sticky topic written by CSW or Roger Ver inside Bitcoin discussion board?

Personally I don't mind if the useful post was written by clown, just like how we give merit because of the good post, not the user. A good and respected user isn't a God where all of his word is true and trusted.
