Interesting. Good catch. Perhaps there could be some kind of daily editing limit put on newb accounts. I can't see any legitimate non-spamming noob needing to edit more than one or two posts a day. This might also help restrict deceptive edits in sales threads etc.

I did in fact, you are just insisting that you get to reinterpret my words how you prefer to interpret them and then expect me to defend your interpretation, not what I actually said. This is common practice for you.

Synonyms for punitive

    disciplinary
    penal
    punishing
    retaliatory
    vindictive
    punitory
    castigating
    correctional
    in reprisal
    in retaliation
    retaliative
    revengeful

That word has more than one definition, I put the applicable descriptors in bold to make it easier for you. If it was positive it wouldn't be punitive by definition.



When did I call him a criminal exactly? Please quote. More disingenuous projection for hyperbolic effect.



Ah I see, you bring up politics and I am the one pushing a political agenda. You should get a part time job at a movie theater, at least there you would get paid for all that projecting you are doing. I am not a leader of anything. I am just a person setting an example by standing up to a collection of little people who are dependent on the ability to abuse others to maintain their own perception of self worth.

He can never admit fault in regard to an individual circumstance as well. You are reinterpreting my words as a general lack of admission. It is good he took that step, unfortunately he is still making plenty of other baseless accusations against multiple parties. The fact that he made the right choice once doesn't erase his current and continual abuse.



Uh huh. I am sure it is just a coincidence you bring this to light right as your actions are under increasing scrutiny. What part of any of this gives you license to abuse others via the trust system with baseless accusations you refuse to substantiate?

I never made the claim it was perfect, simply that it exists for as very logical reason that most people do not take into account. On certain issues there certainly does exist some sort of collaboration to screw the general population. Unfortunately this would exist regardless of us having 2 parties or 30. The only difference is the nation would be only more Balkanized making it easier to control. Divide and conquer. Furthermore this process could be accelerated by making it possible to introduce a more extremist minority to power. Changes definitely are needed, but this is by no means a simple problem. We should be careful that our "solutions" don't regress our society rather than progress our society.

I absolutely answered your question, it just wasn't the answer you wanted. I am not suggesting anything be done about the rating, but the fact it was left is evidence of the fact that there is no redemption with people like you, and any corrections made are just leveraged to apply more punitive action, much like when I removed iCEBREAKER from the list in the OP.

The fact it is a rating is not the issue, it is the obvious conflict in intent. Like I said, if I did something right here, why exactly was this necessary? "Phrased somewhat positively" lol ok. It is just more evidence that all you people know how to do is be punitive, and there is never any credit for positive correction, and it is only leveraged to make excuses for more hectoring and punitive actions. Then you all pretend to wonder why I tell all you clowns to go fuck yourselves.

Please learn the difference between "nationalism" and "nationalization". They are two very different things.

*compulsive liar

He definitely has a compulsive disorder and has no qualms about lying to everyone's face over and over and over again. He seems to believe as long as he never admits fault no one will notice his constant self contradictions.

Anyone who does point it out is "lying about him" and gets attacked and tagged via the trust system, and some members of this community refuse to take responsibility for him by removing his authority under the system he abuses to serve his own compulsions at the expense of the larger community. It terrifies me to think of how many peoples lives he might have ruined as a cop in real life with his lack of self control.

It is not at all a straw man. It is called an metaphor. A metaphor designed to point out that indiscriminate attacks can be quite effective at disabling a target if you disregard innocents effected. That doesn't make indiscriminate attacks desirable. Scambusters are the A.I.D.S. of the Bitcointalk world.

Yeah, you claim that is all you are concerned for. Maybe your intent is even legitimate. Unfortunately your instincts and suspicions are not infallible, and most forum cops here are more interested in feeling effective than being effective. Real life police use that as a defense too. They still regularly rob and murder people in the name of "defending innocents". Lack of accountability is the only thing that allows these abuses to continue.

Reasoning =/= Evidence

If the whole forum watches, what do we need full time forum cops for digging through everyone's shit looking for excuses to condemn them to raise their own reputation? Sure plenty of people are watching, how many people are willing or able to challenge incorrect or abusive ratings? The VAST majority of grievances are just immediately and summarily dismissed as scammers crying because they "got their comeuppance". Anyone that has a reputation to stand on, that reputation is then leveraged against them to silence them. Just look at this thread for plenty of examples of the mouth frothing levels of attacks that result any time anyone suggests these people might be held to higher standards.

Politics now? Are you another person with hidden motives using forum issues as a method to attack me for my political opinions like several of the others here because they can't manage a logical debate on the subject? Maybe you want to project some more, accuse me of projecting, then deny you accused me all in the same breath? You can't even account for yourself let alone others.





I just thought I would post yet another example of there never being anything good enough for those wanting to attack:

Last of the V8s   2020-02-25   Reference   "Didn't quite go overboard for once"

Did I do the right thing or not? If so why exactly are you attacking me for it by leaving these retarded and hectoring ratings? This is why I never give an inch to these people, because even when I make a correction, all they ever focus on is the fact that something was wrong at one point. There is no credit given for taking correct actions, only more punitive actions. Why the fuck would I even acknowledge you people with your petty nit picking when all you offer is disincentive?

Nigeria has a lot of scammers right? If I nuked Nigeria I would objectively be "fighting scammers" now wouldn't I? "Fighting scammers" is easy if you have little to no concern about innocents. Yes yes, I am sure your evidence free suspicion is above reproach and you never ever catch innocent people up in your OCD dragnet... not that anyone is watching the watchers.

Everyone has problems. Unlike Vod most people don't feel the need to announce it as a manipulative tool to elicit sympathy.

Muslim is a religion, not a race. What you are describing is called prejudice, not racism.

IMO the main source of the confusion is MagicByt3 was looking at the auction like a regular sale. In a normal sale, you are free to set whatever conditions you like pretty much at any point and the buyer can take a flying leap if they don't want to meet them and the seller doesn't want to accommodate.

In an auction, you are legally setting up an open offer to contract. When a buyer bids, it constitutes acceptance of the terms set forth in the auction listing (contract). At that point both the seller and bidder are bound by the terms.

This is why everyone was so adamant about you completing the exchange. To not do so would be a violation of that contract, and essentially documented evidence that you don't honor your agreements. This would essentially be reputation death here, as opposed to something which could potentially be something with legal consequences outside of the forum, or if larger values were at stake. Here are some details if anyone is interested.

https://contracts.uslegal.com/elements-of-a-contract/

There are additional regulations specific to the auction process, also a few things probably unique to the forum here. I know this sounds a bit like over kill, and people are unlikely to take any kind of legal action over auctions here for the most part, but these rules are the only way we can maintain any kind of order here regarding the auction process.

Not really, because if he had a legitimate argument he would have made it instead of making utterly retarded claims that could be applied to literally anyone he and the rest of the clowns choose to target. This is not an isolated incident of this.

That is the talking point you are going with? Hitler pulled Germany out of a massive depression, I guess he wasn't all bad.

Please quote any apology you have made for anyone you have called a pedophile Vod. If you aren't a liar, that should be a simple task right?

Very cutesy. So cutesy I almost forgot you literally just tried use trying to build a positive reputation as justification for tagging people, claiming it is proof they could have ulterior motives. Show me the man, I will find you the crime. That is the Direpup credo.

I doubt anyone here really cares about apologies. However Vod did explicitly state he would apologize to people he had called pedophiles along with his demand for an apology. This is another demonstration of the fact that Vod quite regularly lies and contradicts himself.
