He was indeed late in his dues it can’t be denied but he always cleared it when he saw fit but I don’t think he has intention of scamming people. I don’t think a flag or negative trust is necessary in this case but if you think otherwise then nothing is stopping you from painting him red.
I've already done that a long time ago as I described in a previous post. Being late isn't a great defense for someone who's got an obligation to pay a lot of people (and I'm talking about his prior campaign(s) where he certainly didn't seem to have any respect for people's time or need for money). Can you imagine if you had a real-life employer who just paid you whenever they felt like it, and you never knew what to expect? That shit wouldn't fly.
This is indeed the next problem: having to ask for your own money is annoying, and I think many people are even reluctant to ask their own money back.
Not paying people without them asking or waiting for it just shows bad character.
Yep, I noticed that when I left my first neutral on lightlord and then the negative. His campaign participants were obviously very reluctant to speak up, probably out of fear that they'd be blacklisted from his campaigns in the future. Needless to say, there's a huge power imbalance at play and lightlord should realize that and act responsibly.
The first time this happened, Lutpin was also involved and should have been pressuring lightlord to pay his participants despite whatever health issues the latter had going on. After that, I'm not buying any more excuses about health or anything else. In any case, I've already made my thoughts known on lightlord's trust profile, and I'd hope that DT members would exert their influence if they agree he's established a pattern of fucking up.
