If you can find someone (like maybe Lauda) who was tagging account buyers/sellers before me, please let me know because I
think I was the first to start doing so in 2016. That's because I got scammed for 0.3
BTC by
TimSweat; he had green trust and I stupidly thought that meant something more than it did. After that, I realized how dangerous it could be if an account with green trust got into a scammer's hands--and back then, there were all sorts of threads in which accounts like that were being sold.
These are moments of a historical period being posted and shared therefore it is interesting to read about what was going on back there. I had no idea you were scammed back then but I do have recollections of reading some of your feedbacks for account buyers. Now I understand why you did it.
I didn't discriminate when handing out the red trust back then, but as I said there should be room for second chances. Every case is different, but in general account trading is a net negative for the forum. Not everyone thinks traded accounts ought to be tagged, and that's fine. It's good for us to have a wide range of opinions on things, but I'm always going to side with someone who tags an account buyer or seller.
But if it happened years ago? Eh. At this point if the account in question hasn't done any damage and doesn't necessarily have the potential to for the reason I mentioned or because they've turned into a seriously disruptive shitposter/troll, I'd leave it alone.
One of the problems with that rby account at the moment is that I created a scam accusation years ago, for one reason or another I did not or forgot to tag it. Several years later the buyer purchased it because it did not any have any red tags from DT members and it could used for signature campaigns therefore had I tagged it back in 2019 it most probably would never have been a buyer or a seller.
Whether the current owner/operator of the rby account is disruptive (or not) did not form my basis of the negative feedback. The rby account was behind the Rubycoin scam and for that reason the account should have been tagged when I created the scam accusation in 2019. When I noticed my error I decided to tag for that scam.
I have no interest if the current owner/operator of the rby account is contributing positively or not, all that matters to me is that the rby account was used for the Rubycoin scam and deserves a tag. What does not help the current owner/operator is that he is lying when he claims he miraculously remembered post-Covid19 that he had a forum account and because of nostalgia decided to reactivate it. Instead of owning up to having multiple accounts he has gone down the opposite route.
Satoshi worked more than six months and 100 hours a week to develop bitcoin. Where is Satoshi now and incase you find him, do you still expect him to be working six months, 100 hours a week in the bitcoin project still?
Lol. Your point that people and their lives change over time is well-taken. Whether Satoshi is doing what he was doing back in 2009 and prior is unknown, I could look at my own life and tell you that so much has changed in the past four years that many of the posts I wrote before 2019 I wouldn't have written today (though my writing style hasn't changed that much to my knowledge).
You are posting to an account buyer/seller who is probably using multiple accounts enrolled on signature campaigns. Apart from maybe a thread or post here and there where he demonstrates he is not exactly a low quality poster (and that is subjective), it is all a smokescreen designed for misdirection
just in the event any of his accounts gets caught out.
It happens with other account buyers too because all they are interested in is meeting their posting quota for their signature campaigns. He really does not have any interest in Satoshi or anything else beyond signature campaigns enrolment.
