Vod attached reference on his tag to you which is valid. His DT power can be easily removed once he show an abused by excluding him to the trust list of the other DT. Forum DT works perfectly on anonymous environment like Bitcointalk. It’s not unfair with newbie, If you don’t want to get tagged then don’t do shady things like what you did because it’s an obvious fake feedback for your service.
You can request to remove the negative feedback to the user that gives it to you by admitting your mistake and don’t do it again. But it needs time for Vod to rethink about it.
Consider a scenario:
A new user signs up onto this forum. This newbie has neither interacted with me , nor with anybody whatsoever! This user comes to my profile, sees a negative point, clicks on the name of the user who had left it.
But, they do not see my negative review and a feedback.
How is it not unfair to a newbie? It is a known fact that a new user who has no link to me can see that I have a distrust label, but my explanation is not visible to them. This IS one sided and unfair both towards them and me.
Even I had attached a reference, but it is not visible to new users, still his comments are.
I'd like to know how you can judge me without having ever interacted with me. How do you I was running a scam? I have dealt with people in the past on this forum and you are free to contact them. Just because I did not go begging to them to leave a positive point should NOT leave me underprivileged.
And once again, what evidence do you have to label me as doing "shady things"? One can conduct totally legit actions (like I am) and still get negative trust points? How can you not understand that?
And what was this about "admitting your mistake and don’t do it again". Please enlighten us why I should admit something I have not done? Do you think i am so naive? Who are you to judge again? The only mistake I did is trying to go against a system of bullies, but I won't be silent. You have no idea what work I have been doing and how happy people who have interacted with me are. You seem like a Vod fan. Good for you but I request you to try and trick someone else into "admitting" somthing they haven't done. Keep your judgements to yourself if you do not know the whole story!
