Title: RealBitcoin reputation
Post by: RealBitcoin on December 17, 2015, 08:32:21 PM
Ok i got a false accusation against me by this altcoin serial scammer named Bitspender, because I exposed his scams:

Quote
Leaves neg trust without any valid reason. Most likely got paid by the trollarmy to leave neg trust.

This seems to be a new trend. Poor people are getting offered a small amount (0.2) to leave neg trust.

99% certain a sold account. Would not recommend doing business with him, or take his words for real.


I also got false accusation from another twitter fake bot follower and tweet salesman scammer, named YUSCAM:

Quote
He started a Twitter campaign, after tweeting his message he refused to pay. Did nothing against rules. Probably was too expensive so he decided to scam.
DO NOT TRUST THIS PERSON. ALWAYS USE ESCROW!!



Is there any way to remove these negative reputations because it's clearly a false accusation, they are both scammers mad at me exposing their scams.

Not. Trust isn't moderated. Either they remove it or it stays forever.

That sucks, because anytime a scammer gets exposed, they will leave negative rep to the exposer, and it descourages people exposing scammers, because they will suffer the negative reps too even if they did the right thing.

You just gotta learn to live with it. At first I was also pissed when I go my first negged feedback because I sent the scammer a feedback first because of his scam but then I can't do anything about it. It doesn't really makes any change in your reputation since their accounts are already throw away accounts because they are the ones who have red tags.

No, it doesn't. If you're discouraged to expose a scam, because you're afraid of the retaliation, you're doing something wrong.
Almost nobody cares about retaliation feedbacks. Most users can recognize those and are intelligent enough to ignore them.
The few that won't and try to hold it against you, you don't want to trade with in the first place.

Thats the problem, becasue they just use tons of throwaway accounts up to Full Member levels, which costs 0.02 BTC but they scam over 2-3 BTC with it.

And then my account I worked on it  many months, and tried to build my reputation in the community.


And then bunch of Full Member sockpuppet sold accounts give me negative reps.

Not if the minuses add up to a red account, and then most people only look at the red account and fail to read the reason behind it.

No one would trust someone handing out retaliation feedbacks.
On default settings (and aswell on the settings of the waste majority of users), all those feedbacks will be considered untrusted,
hence they will never "add up to a red account" (they won't change your trust score in any way).

Take Mitchell for example, he's got 8 negative feedbacks, but do they make you trust him any less?

I love retaliation feedbacks! Wear them with proud. They are somehow the ultimate proof you did something right. Sometimes i take screenshots and put them on my wall. Everytime i need a good laugh i look at them till i am in tears from laughing. Oh bitcointalk, where have you been all my life?

That's kinda creepy, the whole screenshot and wall thing lol.

@OP, a lot of people check the trust of the person who leaves negative feedback as well to see if it was retaliatory or for a valid reason. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
