What can i do if someone (e.g. grtthegreat) gives me a negative feedback for no reason and mentioning lies within the feedback?

All you can do is talk with them and get them to remove it. Trust is not moderated.

that 1 guy left bitcointalk and the other one doesn't reply  :-\

anyways, I am allowed to inform every user of bitcointalk about this false trust and everyone is allowed to give those persons a negative trust because he accused me of things I didn't do?

Yeah sure but people would side EcuaMobi since what he said was absolutely right. As Michell said, trust is not moderated so admins can't do anything. If someone in the default trust abuses the trust, they would get removed immediately. However, people can still trust them by modifying their own trust list.

Also, you are abusing trust by accusing someone as a scammer even though he is pretty legit.

There has so be a reason for the negative trust he gave me. He might be giving negative feedbacks hoping to get btc in reward to remove it which is scamming. I'm just assuming as much as he is assuming. If someone gives me a negative feedback for something I didn't do I have to give a negative feedback back, sounds logic to me... giving a false feedback is not legit

and what he said is not right, I don't and nobody controls the wallet he's talking about and you can check this wallet for the rest of your life in the blockchain...

if a scammer gives negative trust it does not make too much difference because he most probably also has - trust so you shouldnt be afraid of that

so if 100 people give negative trust to him his false negative trust for me will not count anymore for me right?
then that's the only way to get rid of this red bar next to my name (which i certainly will because it's only there because of false accusements) if he denies removing it himself?

He left a neutral trust rating to advise people, not to point out that you are in fact a scammer. He didn't ask for any BTC in return for the removal of his feedback, I believe what you said is a daring assumption. Most of us here don't leave negative feedback to blackmail people since the person abusing trust would probably not be on default trust. If he is, once reported, the person will be removed and your trust will still be neutral.

Of course you won't be able to get your 0.0001BTC back. Why don't you ask an escrow to create an address for you and ask him to delete it so we would be SURE that you don't have the private key.

Pretty legit? Do you mean that guy with a positive score of +3?

Edit: Oops, I looked at his received ratings. OP remove the rating on Tomatocage

so if 100 people give negative trust to him his false negative trust for me will not count anymore for me right?

It's unconfirmed feedback, so it doesn't really count.

I say I am indeed assuming like he is. Since it's not true. I didn't own the private key when i opened the topic. And if you read the topic i even asked if there was a way to make a wallet and prove i didn't own the private key and then someone showed me that this idea already existed so that it was not necessary to continue anymore with this idea. But he said in my trust (whether it's neutral or negative) that i have control over that private key which is a lie.

No actually next to your name there is nothing, it all depends on what people have other people in their trust list but for me right now i dont see anything in your trust, everything is at 0

You have to go to your trust and look where it says trusted feedback, for example for me i only see dooglus on the trusted feedback and since he gave you a neutral feedback your general trust is at 0, you probably have someone else in your trusted feedback

Post by: yatyatling on March 31, 2015, 11:59:54 AM
Just checked that EcuaMobi is in both the trust depth 3 and 4. If you don't want to see it just change it to 2 and delete your false feedback for him.

i can't see it either, all i see is 0/+1(1)

and this in your profile which isn't even in red letter

"Attempted to run a Ponzi scheme: "You can earn 0.01 BTC by depositing the latest deposited amount + 0.01 BTC, after the next person deposit's I'll send you your deposit + 0.01 BTC back etc." but apparently didn't realise what he was doing."

I don't see it either.  I have to click on your trust and look in "Untrusted feedback".  I think you have enough positive and its trusted that the two negatives really don't matter much.   As we don't see them beside your name, which is good.


Title: Re: negative trust
Post by: yatyatling on March 31, 2015, 01:49:29 PM
In my trust setting (depth=4) your account is even have a light green trust! (With EcuaMobi deleted his feedback) So now there is no problem that you are having a negative trust.


Title: Re: negative trust
Post by: tspacepilot on March 31, 2015, 01:57:53 PM
Yup,I can also confirm that on my trust settings you show up as neutral.  I can see the negative feedback from grthegreat if I look through untrusted feedback but EquiMobi must have removed whatever he had placed their earlier.

I'm just assuming as much as he is assuming.

and what he said is not right, I don't and nobody controls the wallet he's talking about and you can check this wallet for the rest of your life in the blockchain...

I just read this thread now, OP and I already reached an agreement via PM (see below).

leen93, you have had a scammy behavior and you've falsely accused me of several things and you dare  complaining?! How do you dare accusing me of leaving false negative feedback and asking for BTC to remove it when you know that's not true and you're the one who blackmailed me to try to get my feedback removed?!

Just for the sake of clarity this is what happened:
  • leen93 started a thread asking people to send BTC to an address he created to destroy those coins and "have a positive impact on the price". Instead of using a proven destroy address he asked users to send to an address of his, claiming he intentionally lost the private key. I personally don't believe him, I honestly think he was trying to grab those coins, however I'm not 100% sure. Link, see my quote (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000565.msg10863042#msg10863042) as the original OP is now edited under my request, see below.
  • Because of this I left a feedback in leen93's profile. Because I'm not 100% sure I left just a neutral feedback, not negative.
  • leen93 sent me a PM (pmsg=3545820) blackmailing me, telling me that he will leave a lie in my profile, literally he wrote "a lie on my trust page is a lie on yours"
  • He left a negative trust in my profile with one word "Scammer" falsely claiming I scammed for 10 BTC (as "Risked BTC").
  • Of course I didn't agree to his blackmail. I left a negative feedback in his profile because of his misuse of the trust system. I'm 100% sure he misused it so my feedback was negative, not neutral.
  • He insisted me to remove the feedback I left in his profile and he threatened me to "inform other people of this behaviour" (pmsg=3549066), so I sent him this PM:
    My first feedback was only neutral because your behavior was fishy. Do you honestly think it's not fishy to ask people to send coins to an address you can't prove is a destroy address when it's easy to do so? And then you leave a "scammer" feedback in my profile which you know is a pure lie. I'm sure you'll get your own profile completely destroyed if you take this to other people. Do so if you want to, by all means.

    I propose you to edit your post where you ask people to send coins to that address and replace it by a burn address (available in your own thread commented by others) and explicitly say people not to send to the address you posted before. Then lock the thread. That would clear your first scammy behavior.

    Then remove the lie you posted about me. That would clear your trust misuse behavior.

    If you do that I will remove my honest feedback I left in your profile and will continue checking your posts. Just don't do anything fishy and you won't get negative feedback.

  • He agreed and he modified his thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000565.0) (fixing his original fishy behavior) and he removed the false feedback he left in my profile (fixing his trust abuse). So I removed my feedback bacause I no longer think his thread could cause people to lose their coins and I no longer consider he abused the trust system.
I have a clear conscience that what I did was completely correct.

Finally for those wondering, I'm on levels 3 and 4 of default trust, but not on level 2 (set by default). So by default my feedback won't affect a user's trust, however it does for people who increased the trust depth (or added me explicitly).

So, the whole story comes out.  :)

Still, I'm glad everything was resolved amicably in this case.  Although, I think that leet got off easily given the blackmail attempt and whatnot.

What can i do if someone (EcuaMobi and grtthegreat) gives me a negative feedback for no reason and mentioning lies within the feedback?

You cant ask to admin for your trust, you must talk to who give you neg trust, like my case. I was hacked by f*cking candystripes and one of them who give me neg trust removed the neg trust because i explain the details and he's believe me with some proof i give, but one of them still can't believe me. The best way is talk to them and explain the details, give them proof.
Edited: looks like the case is clear. Glad to see :D

Hopefully he won't run any more ponzis and he won't annoy the trusted members into giving him negative trust!

Actually, it wasn't a ponzi.  It was that he was offering to destroy bitcoins by telling people to send them to an address which may or may not have actually been a bitcoin eater address.  This is what ecua.mobi just explained upthread.  I saw nothing regarding ponzis.

As long as trading accounts is allowed and that is not reflected in the trust ratings, the trust rating itself is of little value.
Default trust users may have already sold their account to someone else, who is not that trustworthy any more.
I have raised this point several times already, yet seems nobody is interested in improving the current trust ranking system.

Indeed, although there are folks who keep a close eye on the "password recently changed" status and let everyone know if it seems that an important account could have been hacked/sold.  However, this is just a clue, so I think your point stands.

Here is the main thread discussing the trust system:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.0

Essentially, it's a feedback network.  The ratings you see are reflective of feedback from folks in your network.  You can modify who is in your network and you start out with some default settings.  This should get you started.

If someone in the default trust abuses the trust, they would get removed immediately.

Unless your name is Vod, or one of a handful of other buddies that get constant passes.

If Vod really abused the trust system I think he would have already been removed from the defaultTrust list, but it seems this is not the case.

What counts as "abuse" is subjective.  Furthermore the mods make it explicit that "trust is not moderated".  This has to be taken with the grain of salt that everyone who doesn't look into how the trust system works is going to get the default trust settings.  For those who don't agree with Vod, just remove him from your trust list:  "~Vod".

As I said in the past:

Stop all these bullshit, if you don't trust Vod then put before his name "~" and stop to post and post again in this thread. Totally bullshit, you are acting like kids (not you Vod, I am talking about the OP and the numerous topics in the forum).

The real cancer aren't who is in the default trust, but the scammer and dishonest person. They should get fu*k out from this forum, because bitcoin is not for them. TECSHARE if you don't trust him put '~' before his username , simple ?

Excluding him from my trust does not remove his fraudulent rating from my trust page, nor does it check his abusive behavior using his position on the default trust. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=915823.0

You cant really do anything about it, look at my trust.
I discovered many scammers on this forum, and they tried to leave me negative feedback too.
On a simple check, who wants to check your trust, they will see your negative trust is fake.
