Interesting, seems like we have a new wave of spammers. Maybe stolen accounts? Makes it harder to report them as there's no report button for profiles or trust ratings...

It's a newbie who's sent the feedback though.  Surely he can be nuked?

Spam feedback like this are one of the few times that trust feedback is moderated. Contact theymos or wait for someone to see this thread and all of his feedback will be removed.

Hey, our trust system allows this (even though it's against the rules).  Maybe this will force a change if spammers start exploiting this.  I know a lot of people here disagree,  but this trust system needs an overhaul.   Badly.

The other feedback on that profile is LOL.

No it doesn't. Spam feedback such as the one seen in this thread and this (https://i.imgur.com/pUGyx6g.png) are removed when requested.

It's very easy to point out downfalls, but significantly more difficult to come up with solutions. Come up with a working system and I'm sure that theymos will be glad to implement it.

They are all banned. I will see if I can get theymos to remove these ratings. Don't count on it though.

Nuking doesn't remove left trust ratings. Maybe this might be a good reason to change that.

That'a just the scammer mezaz and some of his dozens of alts that he creates on a daily basis.

Most do get nuked but this doesn't wipe feedback sent (though it would probably be a good idea to include it to stop these idiots).

If the ratings aren't removed then the spammers have succeeded. No reason for them to slow down knowin their messages will remain!

Theymos will remove them if reported to him. He did it with one I noticed yesterday.
