I apologize to this community if I being rude or overly aggressive yesterday with this discussion. I am
Just frustrated with the situation. It sucks losing any amount of money but I am glad it was less than two hundred dollars, that is the price I pay for this lesson I have learned. Judging by Cluster2k’s profile it looks like it cost him a ledgenary account, which I would place at a much higher value. I would like to thank this community for that.

Except its being used as a tool to defraud people.

Restrict it or make it a privilege, otherwise, it is a mistake.

I am starting to understand why cryptocurrencies in general are precived in a negative light by the general population. None of this will ever go main stream with this kind of ideology.

I would not recommend to anyone to do research on these forums as long as there exist self-moderated threads.

When using Google to research cryptocurrency based information it is also advisable to skip over any result that is linked to these forums.

For an example a search result placement that reads "Scam Exchange VaultMeX!" means nothing if it were created by someone with a biased agenda against the exchange using a self-moderated thread option. It could just as easily say anything with nothing administrative enforcing any kind of ethical value related to business.

That is the result of the policies put in place on these forums.

A simple solution to the problems which I have stated is to disable self-moderated threads entirely. What purpose do they serve except to aid fraudulent activity or people attempting to hide something from others?

What merits disciplinary action from moderators on these forums?

I have seen a lot of damage caused by multi-account users in my time, everything from spoofing bids during auctions to spreading or supporting false accusations.

SCENARIO ONE,

At this very moment, someone on this forum could be reading one of his self-moderated threads, full of positive feedback from his alternate forums profiles and decide to invest in one of the coins listed on VaultMex.

This user will learn that he cannot withdraw any of the assets that he invested into this exchange and after doing some research promptly learns that it is the policy of these forums to do nothing to prevent instances such as what just happened to him.

This forum member ceases using these forums as a result.


SCENARIO TWO,

A scammer learns from similar activities mentioned in the first scenario and decides to push the envelope even further, therefore, creating more instances of fraud and abuse. Other scammers see the same opportunity and proceed to advance their agenda and exploit it even further.

What is preventing him from using his many forum accounts to sabotage the trust level on another person's account?

I mean the way he did it in that image was obvious and stupid, but what is there to prevent a more systematic deliberate attempt spread out over a duration of time?

When I worked in the adult industry I spent a lot of time on GFY.com and I can tell you it is for reasons like the one I have mentioned above that multiple account offenders received bans.

I see another self-moderated thread, so I am sure the following will be deleted.


How are we suppose to know there isn't some angle here to scam someone with something as complicated as a transfer of a business asset?

I mean honestly, considering your trust level and all.

If you do somehow manage to sell it, please use some of the funds to repay the money that I have stuck on your exchange. Its been almost a month already.

Can the moderators at least do something about this feedback he is leaving people?



If not I must ask with all due respect, what is it exactly are they moderating?

How is it right that he gets to keep bumping this self-moderated thread while continuously deleting comments regarding people not having access to their funds?

All he is doing is using the traffic generated from these forums to victimize more forum members. Is there not some policy in place to protect the members of this forum from being scammed?

I guess I just don't see how it is in the best interest of these forums to allow this kind of fraudulent activity to take place.

Well the fact that he is obviously more concerned about the “likes” or whatever on a forum profile than he is with all the people who can’t withdraw their money from his exchange should speak volumes.

So it is possible that all these different accounts are the same person with the intent of manipulating the merit and trust system on this message forum to generate business?

Would a moderator be able to confirm this? I would think that a possible situation such as this should warrant an investigation by them as it strikes against the integrity of these systems put in place.

If this can be established I will edit this thread again to include the Cluster2k profile in the title of the thread.

I am fairly certain that Cluster2k is either still closely associated with or is in fact the VaultMex account as I was just banned from their discord after a heated private conversation with Cluster2k regarding this thread.

Notice how in VaultMex's profile he also uses the term "Abuse of Trust System" when attempting to get revenge on another forum user for leaving him negative trust.

How many of these can be tied to Cluster2K?

Notice the crosslinking:

How can we confirm this either way?

I was starting to suspect this when I noticed similarities in the phrases that both of them used during conversations.

Is it possible that Cluster2k is VaultMex?

It doesn't look like that anything got fixed to me. It is a real shame that someone would put effort into building an exchange just to mismanage and destroy it.

He has been saying it was a maintenance issue for several weeks now. The problem is that this maintenance issue never gets resolved. I hope I am wrong and we all get our coins but it doesn't seem like that is the case.

I just tried to withdraw again and it still is the same problem.

That is reasonable as nobody should expect you to violate a contract. However, next time you enter into a contractual agreement remember to add the necessary provisions protecting the best interests of your business entities.

Your right that should definitely be removed.

However, I will give him time to either remove it or let the contract expire if that's the case.

Yes, I saw it when you stepped down. You guys weren't going to keep me banned because all I had to do was open a new TOR browser and pick a new username.

I hope the issues with VaultMex get resolved as well.

The server issues that you speak of only became a major concern when those issues went weeks without resolution and people started reporting funny activity with wallets in the blockchain explorers.

I am sorry that you had to leave a paying gig, but you did the right thing leaving that position because you really don't want your longstanding good reputation ruined if the situation with that exchange goes sideways.

With that said, I think your stepping down is going to expedite the situation towards whichever direction it was headed. The exchange will either disappear or VaultMex is going to fix the long-standing wallet issues.

I sincerely hope that VaultMex chooses the latter, he can learn a lesson for this and redeem his exchange. The internet is generally a forgiving community.

Thank you Cluster2k, I did not think that you had any ill intentions because of your reputation and long-standing history here.

I just wasn't sure to the extent of your role and whether or not you had any responsibility regarding the missing funds.

I removed my negative feedback and will edit the post to exclude you. However, I might require the assistance of a moderator to edit the thread title.
