Some may argue you were trying to abuse the system by attempting to essentially buy trust. You'll have to work it out with him, but I don't think he did anything wrong here, especially when you were quite open in what you were attempting to do.
i simply stated that i wanted to establish myself as trustworthy, and request to receive positive trust after completion of a trade. how does that warrant a negative trust. this is bullcrap
Can you not see how trying to buy trust to make yourself appear 'trustworthy' makes you the exact opposite?
i'm not trying to make myself appear as anything you fucking retard, i'm trying to prove my trustworthiness by completing a trade!
And yet you don't realise the irony in this, so I'm not the 'retard' here. You want to appear trustworthy by buying feedback for $5 a pop via Paypal. How does that make you trustworthy? It makes you the exact opposite because you wanted that green feedback for one thing. You appear trustworthy by building up trust doing trustworthy things, not purposely seeking out reputable hero members to buy yourself feedback for $5.
i was trying to do a deal until the gamerguy left me a negative trust on my profile. i want the positive trust so i can establish relationships. when i come offering my coding services i want people to see the green trust and know that i am a man of my word.
Yet again you prove to everyone why this negative you have received is completely valid. You establish the relationships first, that's how you get positive feedback that actually means something. How does this feedback mean anything when you wanted to buy it for $5? You think merely having green trust makes you trustworthy, when you yourself have just proved why it isn't.
