BFL bringing down the trust rating?

[BadBear]

Wow, BFL really doing a good job spamming my trust.

You look alright to me  

*cough cough* one of the first times I can say that the default trust system is working in a positive manner.

40 negative comments in a row!! What does the nuke button do? That looks interesting.

Also if iluvpcs is now default, why wouldn't I be showing green?

Nuke button is a failsafe that bans everyone and sets the server on fire. It's the only way to be sure.

It's a spammer tool, ipban + deletes all posts.

I'm a bit curious if the whitelist thread was still open in newbie hell what would have happened if you clicked a little bit to the left by accident ^_^
Imagines a wonderful rainbow of hammer based love lol

Whitelisting now reduces the time limits on posting/pm's (ie you must wait 360 seconds...), and prevents the user from being nuked (only newbies can be nuked).

This is good but I believe Josh is right about the Trust system... any thoughts on how we can better IT?

Trust systems that work well like a judicial system will catch up to BFL long before the forum does much of anything.

It is clear there is spam. We know who is spamming. Nothing is done. This forum continues to ignore and offend the many people who have been defrauded by BFL with inaction. Even spamming the trust system as clearly evidences so far garners no action. What will happen is people will leave this forum because rules currently in place are not applied to cases like these. Doing nothing at this point given evidence is tacit acceptance of the spam going on.

Here is where BFL will finally meet some justice.

Code:

[b]Count I: Violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act,
K.S.A. §§ 50-626, 50-27, and 50-634[/b]


65. Defendant violated K.S.A. § 50-626 by engaging in deceptive acts and practices in connection with a consumer transaction, including:

(a) knowingly or with reason to know, representing the status of 
Defendant’s Bitcoin mining equipment inventory as being available,
in production, available for shipping soon, and/or that shipping has
already begun when, in reality, the status of Defendant BFL’s
mining equipment inventory was not available, not in production,
not available for shipping soon, and/or not already shipping;

(b) willfully using an exaggeration, falsehood, innuendo, or ambiguity
as to a material fact, specifically regarding when shipment of
mining equipment would occur and/or that mining equipment
most likely would be shipped within two months or sooner;

(c) willfully failing to state a material fact, specifically that shipment of
mining equipment would likely not occur for over six months,
would never occur, and/or that Defendant BFL intended to keep
and use the mining equipment itself;

(d) offering mining equipment without the intent to sell or ship the
mining equipment; and

(e) offering mining equipment without the intent to supply the
reasonable, expectable public demand and without truthfully
disclosing the limitations.

I would prefer not to receive any POSITIVE trust ratings as a result of this insanity. Please do not ask people to post positive trust for my account. I would rather EARN the trust as a result of my dealings with individuals. Please if you can LittleD remove me from that list in your posts. Nothing is solved by gaming the system to counter BFL's BS.

What really needs to happen is Inaba, BFL and BFL_Josh need to have a ban. For what amounts to a spam attempt on the trust system. Even though only 3 people have taken them up on their offer as I guess there are only 3 people on their website the intent was there to FLOOD the system with spam trust. You ban others from this forum for sending PM's you should reward Josh and BFL the same way. Give them a 30 day rest away from the forum for the attempt.

+1million, this is the shadiest thing I've ever seen on many forums..Butterfly Labs is obviously just doing this to increase the trust for their own accounts, BFLJosh, BFL, it's so stupid that they're allowed to do this..wow..

Now someone in default trust (somehow) has joined in, getting ridiculous.

Zillions is in Canaryinthemine's list, so I'd send him a short pm outlining the situation. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18614 Try to leave out the hyperbole and judgements and just stick with the facts.

[Zillions]

Yeah I did it number of transactions I've done here but only had a measly one to my name.
I run on Flea-Bay also at least people there leave feedback on successful transactions.
Since I had zilch rep any way and every time I try make a deal " you have no reputation" I figured fuck it might get myself a free Monarch in 6 months.

[Fiyasko]

FFS! I swear that BFL is helping cause the BTC collapse, Seriously...
Bribery
False advertising for vapourware
False advertising for shipping dates
False advertising about comapnies progress on construction
Products that cannot make a ROI
Constant lies and misleading statements
Lawsuits
Class action lawsuits
Hundreds (maybe thousands) of complaints filed against them
Extremely vague if not non-exsistant Refunding system
Threatens customers with Termination of service if they speak badly about BFL
Forced cancellations of your pre-order
Treats the entire bitcoin community poorly
Doesn't pay their bets
etc etc etc etc

Can we ban them yet?!

Aaah so he was in his 'additional list'. That makes sense, because I couldn't work out how that had happened when they hadn't exchanged feedback.

Time to move to another forum I guess. Bitcointa.lk anyone?

 I created an account there, and it appears to be a carbon copy of this sites content.

 Am I overlooking something ?

[Bicknellski]

For example I posted this reply from there and deleted the post I made here from there as well. Like it keeps a record of deletions. I mean if the mods are not interested in setting standards... maybe ced will be at the bitcointa.lk? Be interesting to see how a transition off bitcointalk.org would work using bitcointa.lk.

Yes and can replace this forum. That is something the community should think about given the lack of movement on scammers that spam.
