scammers dislike him because he calls them out...
...others (like me) blame him as a joke (to be clear: i dont blame him at all. i am thankful for his work)
He often gets it wrong when he calls people out as scammers, and is reluctant to admit that he is wrong, or even remove a negative rating when he is wrong (he makes people wait a month to get their incorrect negative rating removed when he is wrong).
This is ultimately going to cause people to abandon bitcointalk and will cause them to lose interest in bitcoin in general
Quickseller's opinion of Vod has changed a lot in the last few weeks, apparently. Here's what he used to think.
I will un-exclude Vod since he is gone and his ratings are very helpful to many people. My only concern was his rating against Armis, however I can "manually" ignore this.
Edit: the vast majority of the I hate Vod/quickseller/tomatocage threads are made by scammers.
haha wow that is a lot of negative feedback. Well I guess we now know who was behind all those spam negatives that Vod got not long ago. None of them have any credibility though, especially considering that they all have negative trust
I am glad to see that people are still trolling Vod, over a month after he left - this must mean that he did a good job at stopping scammer
My experience with Vod is that he is generally a reasonable person,
Here's a fun one:
Seems that most people who feel Vod needs to be removed
are people that have received negative trust from Vod.
Just sayin.
I am fairly certain that if vod is removed then someone will step in and negative trust everyone that he gave negative trust to
It gets better:
I agree that Vod is sometimes a little aggressive when dealing with people. I wouldn't say that he is entirely to blame as the people he is generally aggressive with tend to attempt a campaign (or in this case campaigns) against Vod. I do however consider him to be fair with his ratings most of the time (as in 99.9%+).
I think a lot of the "Vod drama" would go stop if he were to simply "walk away" once the person he is dealing with starts things like personal attacks and trolling him.
Vod should not be removed from Default trust list as he has way too many people negative rated as scammers and he puts in a lot of time and effort into preventing scams. There are few other, reputable people on here that are willing to put in this much effort into protecting the community.
Lets finish with this one:
Don't get me wrong, I very much respect and admire VOD. I just think it is funny as to what lengths people go to try to "get back at" VOD for giving them negative trust and ruining their scam attempt.
