So, for example, he moved The Sceptical Chymist directly from trust to distrust on his list.
That's retaliation possibly.
The problem is that most of the users use the custom trust list to get themselves into DT and get more strength in terms of inclusion while the custom trust list should be used for personal benefits like- utilizing when we trade here, when it comes to trust someone with fund.
Um, yeah it's retaliation. That's obvious by the timing and the fact that I've done nothing else to Ratimov aside from ~'ing him from my trust list and have had no contact with him, probably ever.
That's OK, though. I think the trust system has become a total joke anyway, which is why I opted out of the game completely for the past I-don't-know-how-many months. The only reason I created a new trust list was to participate in this situation we're discussing here. And Little Mouse, I did not create a custom trust list in order to get onto DT; I just want that known. As I've said, being on that list used to mean something and the members on it were expected to use the "power" it gave them very, very responsibly. These days it's a complete free for all.
It's like don't dare to talk against me, else you will be fucked by me.
He's not fucking me. He doesn't realize it yet, perhaps, but he's eventually going to dig his own grave when the majority of the community goes against him, which it looks like is going to be what happens.
I don't think his deletion of threads/posts should count against him, though. If you open up a self-moderated thread, you've got the right to do what you will with anything therein. Sure, it'll lower the post count of members who'd posted in the thread but that's the risk you take, and it's clearly stated at the top of the page when a thread is self-moderated.
