^So you now decided to retaliate with a negative? For pointing out I responded to you!

Others suggested not to give any suggestion unless I am 100% sure if it's technical query so I crossed out the post now.
Do most people behave like this around here, a question perhaps to some seniors like LoyceV and nutildah?
I'm not sure what you're asking. I see no negative feedback (anymore?), and until I was mentioned again (several times), I had given up on this thread. As I said in post #3:
Neutral feedback isn't that important

If you do not trust someone,
Go to your profile, and then click on trust >> Trust settings >> Put a ~ and their username. In this case, it would be ~Bitcoin Smith and update it. If you trust someone, do the same process, but without a ~. That's how you do it.
This is NOT how you're supposed to use the Trust list:
Don't confuse your Trust list with feedback
Trust feedback: leave feedback to people you trust or don't trust. Or leave neutral comments.
Trust list: a list of people who's judgement on others you trust (username) or don't trust (~username).

You should read the beginner's guide
You too Wink

Of course I would not trust the author of this thread with anything. This part of the thread indicates that negative trust is appropriate
I wouldn't trust 99.99% of the users here with money. But that doesn't mean I'll leave all of them negative feedback.
Maybe this helps:
The system is for handling trade risk, not for flagging people for good/bad posts/personalities/ideas.

So, honestly, I don't understand why I was "called" to this case.
That's kinda part of being on DT1, although in this case it's a waste of time over neutral feedback.

I am actually quite surprised that it is not the norm to tag spammers with a negative rating if you are part of DefaultTrust.
That's what The Pharmacist was doing years ago, and it's (probably) part of the reason theymos introduced the Merit system. Spam should be reported to Mods to be deletion. If negative feedback is abused, it loses it's meaning for the real scammers.



@Satofan44: a bit of unsolicited advice: don't get sucked into The Bitcointalk Drama. Something tells me you enjoy the technical side of the forum much more.
