I have no issue about BayAreaCoins leaving negative feedback for me extending the run time of an auction, that is if he strongly believes this makes me a scammer. To me it seems ludicrous, but different people think differently. However, what I do thoroughly disagree with is him leaving negative Trust feedback
for my moderation, which is what he did:
LOL Mprep edited his auction thread (auction thread are unable to be edited for a reason) to remove my calling him out on his bullshit auction extension. I strongly believe this user is a HORRIBLE BitcoinTalk mod and a scammer... hence the negative feedback.
The feedback in relations to the
actual extension is
neutral:
Changes rules on his auctions that effects bidders negatively for this users own gain. Mprep also sees nothing wrong with violating his own rules... Please see the reference link and make your own judgment.
I would not do business with this user
Since he has already shown a disregard towards basic forum rules (see
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1026785.0; after I called him out recently, he did, after several years, admit he was in the wrong so I'll give him that) and now shown that he's willing to leave negative feedback for someone who moderated his content, I find that incredibly scummy and untrustworthy and as such strongly believe that users should avoid doing business with him as long as this behavior persists hence the "retaliatory" Trust feedback, which reflects that:
Left me negative feedback for enforcing forum rules (splitting a discussion that went too off-topic into it's own thread) despite leaving a clear and unambigious notice containing both the topic of the discussion as well as a link to the new thread in the old thread.
It's only semi-centralised so infighting is inevitable. The fact that trusted users call out what they perceive as scammy behavior is a good thing IMO. Shows that people are leaving Trust feedback for their actions and not their position / renown / whatever. Whether the feedback is actually justified is a whole different debate.
