You just gotta learn to live with it. At first I was also pissed when I go my first negged feedback because I sent the scammer a feedback first because of his scam but then I can't do anything about it. It doesn't really makes any change in your reputation since their accounts are already throw away accounts because they are the ones who have red tags.
Thats the problem, becasue they just use tons of throwaway accounts up to Full Member levels, which costs 0.02
BTC but they scam over 2-3
BTC with it.
And then my account I worked on it many months, and tried to build my reputation in the community.
And then bunch of Full Member sockpuppet sold accounts give me negative reps.
That sucks, because anytime a scammer gets exposed, they will leave negative rep to the exposer, and it descourages people exposing scammers, because they will suffer the negative reps too even if they did the right thing.
No, it doesn't. If you're discouraged to expose a scam, because you're afraid of the retaliation, you're doing something wrong.
Almost nobody cares about retaliation feedbacks. Most users can recognize those and are intelligent enough to ignore them.
The few that won't and try to hold it against you, you don't want to trade with in the first place.
Not if the minuses add up to a red account, and then most people only look at the red account and fail to read the reason behind it.
