Here is his trust page where you can see all of said info about his scam and all the references needed:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=130731

He scammed over 20 BTC for his porn site and simply gambled it away. He is a degenerate gambler. For those on default trust please leave him a negative as he cannot be in green as he is a scammer.

He claims to be paying back the 20+ BTC but yet continues to gamble on Just-Dice and other sites and has paid back a mere 1 BTC or less or so of the debt to date. Its been over a year.

Need this fixed guys!

Lol thats weird, he shows up as -6001 on my trust list, I have never seen such a difference between my list and DefaultTrust (fyi, he was still -2 when I checked it with DefaultTrust)

I see light green: 1:-4/+3(3) 

I've never changed my trust settings.

You had to do something.
Trust:   -903: -6 / +2(2)
Warning: Trade with extreme caution!

Go into your trust settings and see what's up.

Went and looked, I'm on default trust, depth 2. The standard I'm guessing.

No, you're not. Why would that be a standard?
You're not on the default trust list. That is just more evidence of your badly set up trust settings.

Lady, I have never once in my 3 years on this site EVER clicked on trust settings until now. I clicked and in the box it said "Default Trust" and below it said Depth of 2 (max of 4).

So no, unless every accounts' trust setting is messed up mine is not. I've never touched it, default trust has always generally been a good indicator for me.

I think by "I'm on default trust" he meant "my trust list is just default trust".  "I'm on X" can mean "I have setting X", or that's what I understood him to be saying.

FWIW, I also see him as +1 (green)/-4 (yellow) +3/(3), my trust settings are:

Default Trust
~Vod
~Quickseller

(depth=2)


Looks like I have 7 "trusted feedbacks for him": 4 negatives from tomatocage, Blazr, dooglus, malevolent.  Then it looks like blazed out, bayareacoins, and dooglus left either positves (or neutrals, what's the difference?).  So I don't know why that adds up to a green +1.

That's how I'm seeing him now as well though he did have a lot of red last time I saw him. Maybe some other people were removed from default today.

I deleted and reposted my feedback and it seemed to put him negative again when viewed using DefaultTrust depth 2. I think the negative feedback "decayed" over time.

The positive trust feedbacks left are very old and they may have more weight than negative feedbacks.

[erikalui]

It's dooglus who left him both positive and negative feedback. His account seems to be sold noticing that he received negative feedback in 2014 and positive feedback in 2013. His account has just 1 negative trusted feedback as of now.

Yeah, it does. Green trust gets 'stronger' over time too. I noticed someone I left a positive to ages ago and who only has that one feedback went from to 0: -0 / +1(1) to 1: -0 / +1(1) recently (after about a year).

It takes 10 months to go from black to green if a user has 1 positive trust feedback.

Currently, trust scores are calculated in this way:

Code:

scam_reports = total unique users who report scamming
reports = total positive ratings
btc = total BTC from positive ratings
unique_reports = total unique users who posted positive ratings
oldest = timestamp of the oldest positive trust rating
latest_scam = timestamp of the latest scam rating

scam_multiplier = 1
# recent scam = bigger negative score
if(current_time - latest_scam < 7 days)
    scam_multiplier += 1.5

# new member = bigger negative score
if(current_time - oldest < 60 days)
    scam_multiplier += 3

months = months since oldest
total = reports + btc/50    # 50 BTC = 1 report

# long-term con men
if(total > 0 && scam_reports > 4)
    scam_multiplier += (scam_reports / total) * 50

# Approximately limit the number of points each person can contribute each month
subtotal = min(2*unique_reports * months, total)
# Newer users have smaller point limits
limited_total = min(subtotal, 10*months) / 10

score = min((limited_total * months - scam_reports * scam_multiplier), 150)

I think by "I'm on default trust" he meant "my trust list is just default trust".  "I'm on X" can mean "I have setting X", or that's what I understood him to be saying.
FWIW, I also see him as +1 (green)/-4 (yellow) +3/(3), my trust settings are:

That is interesting.
Mine is:

Code:

Mitchełł
DefaultTrust

I see him at minus 903. Well whatever is going one, he needs more negatives. He has 6 negatives and 2 positives on my side.

You're not on the default trust list. That is just more evidence of your badly set up trust settings.

I never change my trust setting and I saw mrklye has green light on his trust.

1:-4/+3(3)

It is very strange, this is my trust list:

~Vod
DefaultTrust
~EAL

and this is the trust score of  MRKLYE :  -5: - 4/ +3(3)

[tmfp]

On trust depth 3 he reads

-1368: -9 / +3(3)

Yah, mine's now also -5, I think this is explained by the fact that Blazr deleted and reset his negative.  MZ posted the forumula that shows how the rating "decay" over time.

This is interesting. I changed my trust list to default trust list *before* Blazr re-added negative trust feedback and the rating I saw is same as yours(IIRC).
