I clicked this thread expecting to see something interesting, imagine my surprise when it was about a trust rating I left.
Okay, let's talk.
Yes, if you contact me regarding trust ratings I will talk to you and get your side of the story and if I am satisified I will usually amend it to a neutral or remove it. You are not the party involved here and I have not received any contact from the user in question. I do strongly believe that this person
could be a scammer.
Unfortunately, neutral ratings are more effective at dampening someone who already has a good trust rating, they rarely actually do anything if that person has no trust already as no-one actually checks their trust. I also feel that a negative is justified.
Don't worry, by the way, I don't plan to immediately remove my ratings and try to hide if someone talks about them, I'm fine with discussing them. No need to try to archive them (though you're welcome to if you really must).
$5 of a reversible currency for $2 of Bitcoin is a) a ridiculous deal b) extremely likely to be a scam when the person is a Newbie, using their first post and also called "profit generator" and c) just makes no sense. It is probably a scam. And while it didn't affect my rating, "profit generator"? I could swear he posted a HYIP as his first post which was instead deleted :S
