Bitcoin Forum

Today my trust turned red from that beautiful black.I am a nike gift card dealer and reputation matters a lot.
Seeing that red trust made me furious enough to convert my frustration into ASCII characters.I am a non-native english speaker, but I will try my best to make you understand whatever I know.

I used to own a account on this forum.Using which I used to sell services related to amazon.Just like always, I was open for escrow service and always traded like an honest dealer.
I used to sell guides which talked about the manipulation of refund service of amazon.One day the mods tagged me for providing this service.And I got no warning for selling this stuff.I repeat "I got no warning".
I even sent a PM to the mod asking him to kindly remove his trust, and that I won't sell such guides again.

But he ignored me.So I switched to this account.
Again on this account,  I was always open for escrow service and I always trade like an honest dealer.And I was no longer selling those guides.

Then today, this happened:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.msg19013728#msg19013728

Am I really guilty here?
Do I really deserve negative trust?It's like a witch hunt!
I have always been kind to everyone(whos been kind to me).I even donate to charities. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1625028)

Is this how the world pays you for being kind?

People like lauda and Avirunes makes me wanna believe in nihilism.
Should I stop being good and be like them? Should I give myself to my greed?

It's funny how everything I worked for turned into ashes just for nothing.

Nihilism can be great if you're backing it up with profound logic & philosophy.

Does not follow. Greed has nothing to do with "them" i.e. "us", in this case.

Still waiting for a logical reply from you.

Wait all you want. I don't trust you, and using alts to escape ratings is a no-no. If anything, it makes you even less trustworthy.

~Cat

You remind me of older me.When I was blinded by my ego.And because of that blindness I used to ignore things.
The reason why I got that negative has nothing to do with my trust.
Is there anyone from DT who doesn't follow same ideology as Lauda.
Lauda your weltanschauung is pretty much wrong about me.
This forum is turning out to be autocratic.

This has nothing to do with me. It is directly caused by your own actions.

Selling methods for defrauding a service == untrustworthy in my book. Therefore, it has everything to do with your trust.

There are plenty of such people.

Irrelevant.

No. If anything, it is nearing anarchy.

This user is using a bought account.He does these hunts to gain trust from trusted members.
Looks like greed to me .-.

Over checking the activites regarding Amazon GC's and accounts from your previous alt. can be found in ebooks provided in other black forums or which you acquired by e-whoring or can be found from dumps or such. I don't find this untrustworthy until you don't place the source of such.
One might get scammed by not knowing the fact of source of such.

Also you recently accepted that you sold one Nike GC without letting him know about source and when he recently asked ,you relate it as unimportant in the thread.


I personally find it untrustworthy. Others are free to give their thought.  :)

He has gained 0 trusted positive ratings for all his contributions in alt-busting.

What does leaving you a negative rating have to do with greed? Furthermore, what does some other users greed have to do with me?

Well, we all know you have 100+ accounts here and you want them all in camps, you are a proven extortionist and you cannot deny it. If you call a post maker a scammer then how a extortionist not a scammer ?

Come on dude you are a serious threat and probably the man who will take the community down, mark my words. May god give you what you deserve ( pain and pain only )

That guide is pretty much popular.I was just re-selling it.I already got punished for it and haven't sold anything like that since then.
"firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something." This is what google thinks about trust.I am reliable+honest+able.

I am not untrustworthy.I have never done anything that accounts as untrustworthy.
If I knew that it will make me untrustworthy in your book then I wouldn't have sold them here.There are many other forums and places to sell such guides.
They gave me no warning and gave me a negative trust.
So I started from beginning and made sure not do it again.But looks like I am stuck in a vicious circle.
Instead of tagging that greedy soul you tagged me(an innocent one).
Lauda you are really breaking my heart.

None of the things that you've stated are true. You are a butthurt child (or an adult acting like a child?) trying to smear my name.

I have no such intentions. This forum is lacking people who take down scammers and/or tag for untrustworthy people. I am actually hoping that someone steps in.

There is no god. Spread those nonsense fairy tales, tailored for weak-minded individuals, elsewhere.

There are no warnings.

Which made your situation arguably worse.

I don't know how you comprehend things.But dude you are really standing on a wrong point.
How is it worse?If I didn't knew that such guides will give you nothing but pain and misery then I would have never sold them here.

No.

Using an alt account to get away from a negative rating -> worse. We have always been tagging all the accounts owned by a single person when they do *something wrong* with 1 of them.

How can you get stuck on just one point?
I just told you how and why I got that negative.
This guy is really making me cry, can somebody else help me here?

I never said that you are greedy.

I told him the source during our trade (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1591410.msg15981699).Stop posting lies.
The guy you are talking about has already locked the thread and changed the trust from negative to neutral.

Lauda, did you really gave me a negative because of a post  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.msg19013728#msg19013728)made by this filth?
I have PM'ed some trusted members on this forum.
I will be waiting for there opinion and hope that justice will be served.
If you have any doubt regarding something then please post it here instead of making any assumptions.Thanks.

Lauda, you are a strange cat. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1914003.msg18986017#msg18986017)

You are wrong and you're refusing to admit being wrong. The proper course of action would have been to resolve your initial negative feedback with hilariousandco. Alternatively, if you planned on creating an alt account, you should have publicly admitted to this and hoped for the best.

Playing the victim card now?

What are you trying to say beside the list of excuses?

I don't know who that is.

Spamming random DT members when you are wrong tends to backfire.

I don't often dig into the past, but others do.
 :)

I am asking for help and not spamming.Stop making me look bad.

I'm not here to defend anyone, my opinion was asked for on this matter, so I will give it. The trust system is a "trust" system, it is not a scammer system. Keep in mind scammers are not to be trusted, so the system is certainly used to identify scammers. You are not someone I can trust because E-whoring and selling ways to defraud anyone is not being on the "good" side, is not "kind", and it is certainly giving in to "greed" on some level.

I do believe in 2nd chances for certain situations but I'd have more respect if you had stayed on your account, paid for your mistakes, and tried to earn a positive reputation with legitimate trading. E-whoring is not a legitimate practice to most people, it's swindling at best, which most people will see as a form of scamming - while you may not be directly scamming people on this forum, your scamming others to make money which makes you a prime suspect to scam here at some point.

There are some people on this forum that want a cleaner forum, less shady activities, and more ethical business practices. At the end of the day, I believe it's better for Bitcoin in general.

Please don't.


Wrong about what?

Do you deny selling a scamming guide or creating alt accounts to dodge negative trust?

Yes, I did used to sell guides.
But after knowing that such guides aren't allowed to be sold here(when I go tagged without warning).I stopped doing so, I even PM'ed the mod to re-consider his feedback.
So, I created a new account for a fresh start.

Alright, I agree with Ibminer.

I got this pm



I do not know toolbox  I do not think I did any business with him  and I just read this thread.

So toolbox  you admit you sold a guide  that allows a person to cheat, defraud ,manipulate Amazon for refunds.

You were punished  and you want me to decide if you are right or wrong.

As a 14 year seller on ebay

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=philipma1957

If you were selling a how to on beating ebay I would say you are guilty.

I would be angry at you and would tag you  with a negative.

I would say all you accounts should be tagged.

Now  I don't sell on Amazon
I also know  a lot about Amazon and   I think  your selling of the guide was a bad idea and action needed to be taken against you.

Should Lauda  been more gentle A warning first.
 should people have talked to you  via pm telling you  it is not legal.

Tough call I do not have all info.

Your reaction  to open new account to hide = Wrong.

 I had an issue like this with anandtech  back in 2012  I handled the issue via pm  and I am considered a good guy on their site.

Frankly I did far less then  you did and they were harsh with me the bottom line is  the site is their site and the rules are their rules.

I apologized to them  and I have saved the pm discussion on pdf.

"Telling me I am a
dealer on your site
based on your
definition is just a bit
too harsh. I sold
gear worth more
then 700 dollars
retail for under 370.

Dealers do not do that.

I joined this site to build a new machine.
(pc) not to deal my modded mac minis.
I referred to my ebay feedback to show I am
an honest person. I wanted to be nice to people
on a new site and make a few friends. I am
sorry that this came across the wrong way.
Please accept my apologies. If you want to see
the bills for the gear to see that I am being
sincere please let me know I can send an attachment.

 Thank you and Best Regards,
Phil A......"


So basically I fell on the sword  on a case  were I was not as wrong as you are in this case.   Simple  what you did could cause  amazon to take action against this site.  you got caught  and you did not do what I did 5 years ago you tried to evade.

So I think you should see This apologize and post a signature saying you did wrong and tried  to evade the punishment.

You would be surprised to see that some people would respect that. I would.

Still I think lauda is a mooncalf who gives judgement without being sure about things.
He doesn't deserve to be in the DT.
Look at the difference between the attitude of Lauda and Ibminer.
Only people with rational thinking like Ibminer deserves to be in DT.

I respect your opinion.
I just wanted to know what other trusted member thinks about this.
If this is your judgement then I accept it.And you guys have given pretty good reasons to convince me too.
My thoughts were faded with frustration & anger.So I became biased towards myself and thought that I was right.
Still, Lauda is a dickhead  :P

I try  to point out  that we are only human after all is said and done.

Words as simple as this sets you at ease and makes you forget everything & forgive everyone.
Thanks philip.

I'm not sure if this helps or hurts my reputation but thanks for the understanding.  :)

There are better ways to make money ethically and still maintain your humanitarianism and I would love to see that happen on your future endeavors.

haha, you are too polite too accept it as a compliment.

I'll be starting college in a few days.You guys helped me realise a lot of things.Now I will spend more time on things that matters.
This was a much needed lesson for me.
Thanks everyone!

Tl;dr: I was right about everything.

P.S. Being nice is not part of the "job" nor is it an adjective that I'd like to associate myself with. It's rare to see dooglus, and even rarer to see philipma1957 comment on such things.

I don't wanna discuss about it anymore.
I feel like an idiot now lol
P.S. Being nice is a part of being good human.Who gives a damn about job?  :P

As far as "rational thinking" is concerned, it was really nonsensical to appeal to emotion and go against the judgement of someone (with that fallacious way of thinking) who has been here at least 2 times longer than you have and probably has spent more time than hundreds if not thousands of users combined. If you don't want to discuss this, then you should lock the thread. You can find this option in the lower left corner of the thread.

P.S. This is me:

Yea, he needs to read this book.It will surely help him in his job  ;)
