Title: Do moderators act as intermediaries to the trust system?
Post by: awesome31312 on September 15, 2014, 09:24:05 PM
How exactly does the trust system work? Is it possible for someone to give another completely innocent user on here a bad rating, with the red text "scammer, trade with caution"?

Because recently I got threatened to pay someone for a product I didn't actually want, it was messaged to me.

The trust system is not moderated; Yes, it is possible. However, unless the user's in default trust the feedback is useless.

Can you post the user's account info along with proof of the attempted extortion here?

Thanks.

Either way if the person threatening to negative trust you is not on the default trust list then it will really not have any impact on your ability to conduct business on here.

As stated above the trust system is not moderated (I don't believe it is moderated at all). You should also remember that anyone that is blackmailing you like this is unlikely going to be very trustworthy in the first place

I said "bahahahha alright", I am sorry you misunderstood.

When you said you'd draw "Anything", I joked about you drawing female genitalia for half a dollar.

Anyway, if you were really expecting me to pay you, you would have left your Bitcoin wallet at least, but instead, you just linked the image on the forum.
