Bitcoin Forum

Hello people of BitCoinTalk,
I have a suggestion to the trust system / reputation system of this forum.
I know people with ranks like newbies / member are considered the low rank / tier and not to be trusted.
BUT could we give them / me a chance to grow in this forum using our rank and because there is merit system added ranking up is harder and people like me who are really trying to make a decent service instantly gets a distrust from upper tier ranks without proves that i really scam ?
Should we add a feature like proof of scam [ picture / video ] for the community to judge or moderators and then decide them decide if it is a valid reason to f*ck with somebody's reputation system?
It is totally sh*t and unfair that upper ranks just add a distrust on your profile EVEN i try to prove my escrow and not all people have BCT account i asked them to vouch me on my escrow on etherscan comment section and even personally wrote into EtherScan to approve my Comment with my BCT service post. I even posted transactions history on my escrow to make it more transparent and even "pleased" higher ranks or anyone who had not use my service not to distrust me.
I know many scammers are Newbies / Members but you can judge 1 bad apple and assume the whole load are scammers too. seriously? I am just trying to provide a decent service. it is really mad and upset to see the amount of hard work and transparency i place to be ruined by one DISTRUST of an hero. wow....
It is really hard to grow in this forum.... If anyone feels it kindly share your experience down below.

I think "wanting to grow" is your real issue.   Why can't you just converse about bitcoin and not worry about your rank?

Your negative trust is completely appropriate. The whole point of an escrow is that it is someone well known, well recognised, well trusted and with an extensive trading history. Being a relatively new member with no previous trades and no reputation completely defeats the point of an escrow service in the first place, and the fact that you want people to send you their money whilst having none of the aforementioned qualities is shady at best. As hilariousandco pointed out on your trust rating, you are either too naive to understand that, or you are a straight up scammer. Either way, I would not trust you.

You do get a chance, but should we give ponzi and bitcoin doublers a chance too? I mean, they might not scam so should we not leave them negative feedback?  Everybody starts off as a newbie but not everyone becomes a trusted member of the community but this is something you can only build over time. A random Hero account with little to no trades shouldn't be offering escrow services and a mere Member certainly shouldn't either. You say it's not fair but it's also not fair that scammers operate here. How can anyone trust you? Escrows are meant to protect people from scams but when people try offer such services here without reputation you utterly defeat the purpose of escrow.

Please note that whatever rating a global moderator leaves for people is not endorsed by this forum. what don hilary has done is the definition of a trustworthy individual, he is trying to protect people from getting scammed and he is trying his best. you could grow in some other area, I'd suggest you trying to criticize people constructively.

I'd suggest to you start reporting garbage posts/off topic posts in Bitcoin discussion board and after a month and after reporting at least 1000 posts accurately ask him for a chance. if by then you have improved your behavior of course.

Cheers.

I did try and will continue in the future but I really hope to get a chance I am really here for long term, I may not be the lucky people who got in early here...
I may not gain reputation from BCT now but I'm trying to gain small reputation from other places and gain vouchs to build my "portfolio" of reputation / vouchs.

I think it's unwise to offer escrow services without an established trading history and obvious financial backing. I've been here a while, and I've even got a bit of positive trust, but I wouldn't put myself forward as an escrow agent, as I have no trading history here. I run domain sales through my registrar's escrow service, so no trust is involved.

That does not mean you are going to jump into the bandwagon of "I am a trustworthy person Please believe me". It would be better if you showcase your intellect in other ways and get other people to admire and you and set you as an example.

This will get looked down upon by other members. People dont come here with the intention of becoming "Reputable". They come here with questions on crypto and are willing to discuss them with others. Asking for vouches - you can make your legion of alts and self-vouch. Who is going to judge?
