Does the above constitute as trust spam? The pathetically failed multiple scammer Cryptofreak82 aka Cryptogirl82 seems to have gone on a spam trust rampage and left feedback for anyone he doesn't like including me and several mods and respected escrowers / scam busters. I believe Cryptogirl and Cryptofreak82 are banned but but the former seems to be still leaving feedback as of yesterday. Darkcoin-for-sale and Worldofbtc are also his alts (used this addy: 16445WYWDfL874EMUFa1MxywxbswTSq5cZ).

Trust spam isn't allowed. If I see anyone posting dozens of fake trust ratings (from one account or many alt accounts), I will delete all of their ratings. But Inaba is hiring multiple people to create these ratings. It is impossible for me to determine whether these ratings are "real" or not, so I'm not going to delete them. (Obviously all negative ratings are very likely to be fake, but I'm not going to guess about this.)

So does this constitute trust spam and can they be removed seeing as they are obviously fake ratings with stupid reasons?

FWIW the only time I've ever had him delete feedback (not on mine) is when people literally spam, as in leaving multiples of the same feedback on the same person's profile, because that's utterly pointless. Still had him leave one of them even then.

Sounds like the fake feedback will stay with you forever, but I believe everyone in their right mind can tell those feedback are just BS. :)

I don't even look at my feedback until these types of threads come up. It's amusing seeing what people come up with though.

Someone called me a clown. :-[ I hope it's the "It" kind of clown at least, as opposed to Bozo.
