On this forum, anybody can be bought. Green trusted user or not. In Ognasty's case his price is 1btc. Even if you are a proven scam site like Betcoin. All you need is 1 btc and his "trusted" account will advertise you. Then the hypocritical mods would turn a blind eye but would happily red trust other accounts for promoting ponzis and other services they are not affiliated with. Save your energy TwitchySeal, just read through the 1000 btc giveaway thread, to see the kind of people you are dealing with.
OGNasty did offer to add a term in future sales that red trusted accounts couldn't buy his signature space.
