Your trust appears to me as 6: -0 / +5(5) . His appears as 9: -1 / +6(6). I realise getting unjust negative can be annoying but I think if you can't work it out with the person who left you it (or get the person(s) who put him on the trust list to remove him) there's nothing that can be really done about it. Of course it is unfair receiving unjust feedback but trust moderation would only cause many more problems than it solved and and people would then start complaining that staff were abusing their power or abusing the system *waits for Techshare to chime in with some paranoid bs that we already are*.
Since you have decided to talk about me behind my back and not to my face in this thread here I will oblige you. Portraying me as "paranoid" and slandering me only demonstrates your lack of a defensible stance on this issue. You are right, it is complete lunacy to think a group of individuals in power here might abuse that authority to keep themselves in complete control of a trading system which makes or breaks the trading activity of every user here. There certainly aren't a plethora of monetary motives for doing so either.
This thread is a perfect example of what I explained would happen if you cater to people complaining about unjust ratings. Supposedly the trust is unmoderated, yet the staff pick and choose who they decide to moderate the trust ratings for if the default trust is involved. Now that the trolls, scammers, and con artists see that the staff have implemented a policy of appeasement, allowing a mob mentality witch hunt on long time contributing members of this forum for the slightest of technical infractions, they will use this wedge that the staff have provided to destroy this community from the inside out with a series of baiting, harassing, receiving deserved negatives, then complaining when it happens and using the incident as a form of retribution on any trusted member of the community. In this manner these scum get the staff to dance for them and destroy the community so they can continue to scam, harass, and con people free from interference, because the staff have now handed them a way to take retribution on trusted members of this community on a silver platter.
The staff have NO INTEREST in seeing restorative justice done. They have NO BUSINESS moderating trust for ANY REASON. Their ONLY INTEREST is protecting their influence over the system, and their paychecks. Seeing that users get justice is not even considered. In my case involving Armis, I was removed from default trust and he still has red on his name. If the staff didn't force their involvement, I would have been able to have the slander against me removed in my sales threads, and Armis would have a clean trust rating, because I would have deleted it after he removed his slanderous posts in my marketplace threads. Of course the staff encouraged him and he incorrectly assumed that slandering me and getting me removed from the default trust would fix his negative rating, he had ZERO INCENTIVE to work the issue out with me because in his mind he was getting what he wanted anyway, and WE BOTH suffered. This is what happens when disinterested third parties force their involvement in trust ratings. Now that these parasites have found a way to take retribution against the people who really hold this community together and ACTUALLY protect it from scammers, there will be no end to the inquisitions and accusations against trusted members of this forum. The real irony is they are getting the staff to rip the community apart for them with their own hands.
OP: I would suggest to you that if you don't like getting negative ratings, you should refrain from your "scambusting" type activities and limit your ratings to individuals you have personal involvement with. There are already far too many people on this forum searching for anyone to tag so they can outwardly appear to be helping the community, but the standard of evidence for leaving negatives has become so extremely low that it is now considered ok to leave someone a negative rating just because people SUSPECT THEY MIGHT be a scammer. This is catching up innocent/ignorant users and pissing off a lot of people, and as a result they join the ranks of scammers, harassers, and trolls.
In short the community doesn't enforce any kind of reasonable standards for leaving negatives, and these "scambusting" type of activities are becoming almost trendy, and I get the feeling a lot of users do it for their own personal satisfaction rather than trying to help the community. It is also convenient that "scambusting" gives these users an opportunity to throw personal enemies into the fray and just pretend as if it was just another scammer. Instead of addressing this REAL problem with trust abuse, the staff would rather have a series of inquisitions against trusted members of this community while people who engage in this "scambusting" type of activity tagging people with little or zero evidence get a free pass when they are the true drivers of malcontent over abuse of the trust system.
