Title: Trust abuse? Post by: smooth on August 16, 2015, 01:04:38 AM Is there any rule about trust abuse? I understand that in general trust is subjective and not moderated. But I'm wondering about someone who claims to have risked BTC but has not (and thus certainly has no evidence of such). Abuse or not abuse?

If someone is claiming to have been scammed by you who really has not (and refused to provide any such proof) will simply not be taken seriously by others. If you are referring to the negative that you received from sempyper (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=368228), then I would not take it seriously, as it is unlikely that anyone else would (his avatar is literally a troll). I am not familiar with the claim/scam accusation against you in the altcoin section, however a brief review of the 1st post in the refrenced (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1151565.0;all) thread, reveals that someone (or many people) do not like your behavior in various altcoin threads, but there does not seem to be any kind of claim that you stole money from anyone. Although your behavior seems to be controversial enough to warrant a 22 page thread inside of 3 days about what/how you post in various threads. Title: Re: Trust abuse?

I don't take it seriously, and I don't deny being controversial. One may interpret what it means to be controversial in the altcoin section according to one's own experiences and biases. And note that I have not raised any questions about other troll negative trust entries against me which do not claim a BTC risk or loss, I was just asking a question about the specific question of falsely claiming to have risked BTC. If there is no such rule about it, then so be it. Title: Re: Trust abuse?

Amusingly the offender in this case has negative trust from a prominent leader of the coin which is largely the subject of the thread in question (apparently based on actual dealings). Irony. Thank you for the answers. |
