I find the fact Avastar thought that it would fund quite funny. Nobody is about to get a 10 BTC loan after having paid back only .5 BTC - and I pointed that out in a calm, rational and non-threatening message.
Leslie was the one who funded your loan - and was rated negatively in exchange. He has been a great contributor to the community and has the respect of literally hundreds of people on the site and group. He is an upstanding individual who has exerted much effort in order to help fund a library in Gambia for children - one in so much need it literally has no electricity.
Avastar just would not accept these simple facts:
1. His attempt at essentially a 2000% credit limit increase is an obvious scam alert and not going to be funded
2. His threats of a defamation lawsuit after I informed him of the above in a calm manner were silly and destroyed his credibility with literally every single person that read the comments.
3. His posting of personal information, threatening and consistent harassment got him booted out of the group
4. His blatant posting of personal information (a direct violation of BTCjam rules) and rating Leslie negatively for investing in him got him blacklisted as he proved to be a menace
5. His continued attempts at posting other's personal info was again out of line and in breach of any standards of conduct
A lot of people make similar mistakes of trying to go up to fast on loan sizes, but when informed of the way things work on BTCjam, they listen and come back doing the right thing. Unfortunately, Avastar made a different choice, an aggressive one - and decided it would be better to fight the entire community.
"Nobody was DOXed"... Call it what you want, but Avastar kept posting people's private information and made repeated threats. Clearly he's a sour cyber-bully who thinks he can go around threatening to sue people when they don't like what they say and then goes on a tantrum when he's kicked out of proper establishments for his unacceptable behavior. To be honest, I'm somewhat glad he went off sooner rather than later, because if he had listened to my advice and opened a 1 BTC loan instead, I would have definitely funded it - and that would have been an awful investment in retrospect.
