Bitcoin Forum

Just happened to glance at my trust page, and noticed someone I've never heard of has left me negative trust saying I cost them $6600

Looking at their page and their ratings it appears they meant to leave it to a user called desto

desto was running the scam in this thread

I posted in the thread twice, both times warning people, and I end up being neg'd which is bloody annoying.

I don't think you can get it removed. Unless, you contact the person who left it. Ask them to take a look at this thread and they may seethe mistake they did and remove it. If you don't get any answer you could try contacting a staff member. But, I doubt they would be able to do anything.

Talk to the person who left them and ask them to remove the rating, that is the only way it will get removed.

I tried that, looks like they left the feedback and haven't been back since.

So my reputation is permanently tarnished because some idiot clicked on the wrong person, what a great system :(

this is not true, mods can also remove!  ::)

it will work out buddy. keep this thread alive and a mod will see it. ive had bogus feedback removed by a mod

yes and ive had REAL feedback removed by a mod

leaving you currently with no feedback and like 4 post? probably due to your post count being so low. hard to trust someone who waves at you from a passing car

PM theymos, he will not remove it, but it will show him another case in which the Trust rating is being abuse, and hopefully he can remove the whole system.

/\now we are talking!  ;)

Thanks I hope so too.

I can understand the mods not wanting to get involved when there are two sides to the story, but I hope they see this as a clear cut case of incorrect feedback and remove it.

You warned about his scam
I'm pretty sure you were exactly the person he wanted to neg-rate

Not quite. If people investigate about you, they'll just discard this useless rating.
And even if they do not investigate, nobody has Weegil66 in their trust list, no worries.

Remember trust ratings fade with time, too.

But it wasn't the scammer that left the feedback, it looks like a user that fell for it.

Looks like another user who I've had no dealings with has taken the opportunity to further abuse the trust system and wind me up, fucking ridiculous

And what if they don't investigate.  What if I decide I want to buy something and all they do is see that I allegedly scammed someone (now multiple people)

this NEVER happens lol  :D

I don't give a fuck about reports without ref thread, for example, and I hope most people do the same.
Magazine was on the edge in my books, couldn't figure him out.
Not sure what to think, now.

bitcoinbible, to give another example, is clean, but is taged as very, very dangerous in my book.  ;)

I'm 100% sure they are the same scammers behind these accounts

Also, if they don't investigate then they wouldn't see those ratings as they are from untrusted people (nobody has scammers in their trust list, well, except TF of course)


+1

I can see that happening, but in this case they left the real scammer the same feedback. If it was the scammer using another account then he'd be unlikely to leave himself bad feedback.


What I mean is, they get as far as clicking on 'show untrusted feedback' but fail to investigate further and see that it's bogus.

If so, you are probably safer not trading with them at all.

ya satoshi libeled me both as: "hostile" and "i miss you bro" wtf?  ;D lol

The trust system on here is fucked.

I said dangerous. Not hostile, nor sexually attracting.
Just. Dangerous. I'm not even sure you're here to harvest. Which is why your rating is clean for now. ;)

I've posted in the past that someone can have 50 negative ratings but appear as trust 0 to most users. Now with this episode I agree with your assessment :)

It seems to work for me just fine. Maybe untrusted feedback needs to be a little more hidden, but you show up (rightfully) as 0 to me.

I don't really care about ratings with no reference. What would be the whole point of trust ratings then? Purely subjective?
