After the introduction of the flag system, red feedback can serve for other "overconfident things". I have always been surprised how everyone vehemently quotes the admin’s phrase in which he talks about the correct use of the feedback system, referring to “trading risks,” but everyone forgets that the feedback system was created for the community and works only thanks to it.
By the way, I am the first to leave negative feedback to this user, because I am deeply convinced that he deserves it, since his rude nationalist statements and repeated calls for the murder of other people are one of the worst things that can happen in our community. And based on this, I am convinced that if he had the opportunity to take away any material property from you or me with impunity, he would do it without any hesitation, so yes ... my tag addressed to this user will remain red, since I believe that this is more than a “trading risk”.
It's rather simple, 1miau is not denying any of the accusations, he simply thinks that it is perfectly fine to use the trust system (both the trust list and the feedback) for the sole purpose of expressing his political views.
Here is an example of a negative feedback he left on someone's profile
Spreading deceitful bullshit and advocating for Putler's invasion against Ukraine + expressing his support for the Russians to kill more people in Ukraine. Engagement in such criminal activity is far worse compared to scamming someone. By legitimazing the invasion, Snork1979 passively helps Putin to kill innocent Ukrainians (and Snork1979 seems to be even proud of it). This is as disgusting as it gets.
1- He asked me to remove my positive feedback on his profile because of the political disagreement. (first red flag on his incompetence of being a DT member) [...]
4- He added me to his "distrust" list.
Using my own example, I can say that I asked some users at least three times to remove both neutral and positive feedback simply because I did not agree with it. And after I put forward my arguments, these feedbacks were deleted. If he asked you to do this, he probably had a reason.
The other side of the coin is that the system of checks and balances of the trust system allows you to make subjective adjustments to personal trust lists, regardless of the opinion of a particular user... moreover, this does not require anyone's permission. And if at some point 1m' stopped trusting your feedback (even if it was positive), then he had every right to do so.
Moreover... if I asked you to remove positive feedback from which I did not agree, and if you refused me... then I would definitely add you to my list of mistrust at least so that this feedback ceased to be visible to me.
5- He suddenly remembered to
tag this user who also happened to disagree with his political views on the same topic,
you could argue that his feedback was correct, but given the timing, it's an obvious retaliation, that user has been tagged since 2018, well the reference he used goes back to 2018, why tag him right after he disagrees with you on a political matter?
We are all human, and most of us, if not all, are quite selfish about other people's problems, so I take this situation as a "catalyst" for getting involved in this matter. And given that you mentioned that the feedback was correct, then I think there is nothing more to discuss here.
