[CENSORSHIP] Matthew N. Wright

[SaltySpitoon]

You know, salt lick, I'm not a staff member and the fact that you are and that you stood by while theymos "trusted" Tradefortress is enlightening and one of many reasons you should be embarassed to wear that "staff" emblem.  If anyone's leaving would serve the community it's you and the other staff/admins who should go.  I am not the person doing a dis-service to this community.

If you cared enough to read the hundreds of old threads, Theymos "trusted" Tradefortress because the list of people that he trusted was consistent with the general consensus as to who should be trusted to start out the system. Theymos didn't personally trust the guy, its just that he was qualified to be an accurate judge of trust.

Nefario was trusted, Pirateat40 was trusted, PatrickHarnett was trusted,

If only we could see the future.

*edit*

I am not the person doing a CRIMINAL dis-service to this community.

This is a forum, it is not the better business bureau.


At the risk of taking this already necroed thread anymore off topic, if you would like to continue on with our chat, you are welcome to pm me, or start a new thread.

bullshit.

The trust system didn't exist when those jokers were active.  Theymos SPECIFICALLY trusted TF when the trust system was implemented.  Even though every action TF took was a red flag.

I outted TF in July, so where my positive trust?

oh look, 20% of the votes called TF a criminal.  Gee, theymos must indeed be a good judge of character

I take it back. You're not Matthew. He knew what was going on. You don't.

[Viceroy]

yes I don't know what's going on,  it wasn't me who posted the poll calling him out...

oh yes it was!

Well you might be Matthew? He used to love researching scams and whatnot. See, now you got me all confused. I'd say there's a 50/50 chance you're Matthew.

BTW: you don't think we're all stupid enough to not know that you're derailing this thread to pat yourself on the back do you?

[Viceroy]

I've stayed away from these forums for the past few months.  I came back to see that TF stole 1.3 million dollars and that Matthew was still banned.  I tried to warn the world TF was a scammer and Theymos banned me for it.

I liked Matthew and, if you read back, I am one of the most vocal supporters for his return.

The site admins on this site SUCK.

You do realize that forums are usually businesses and all forum admins can remove you from their business any time they see fit? You get to remain at the sole discretion of the owner or operator. Even if a nonprofit forum was funneling donated funds to drug lords YOU can be removed. Both admins may suck to you but you still are going to be gone if you don't stop. Matt didn't get that either and he's not here anymore. The fact that you can even say the admins suck without an instant ban probably means that they don't suck.

Ok, you figured out the TF puzzle and you tried to warn everyone but they didn't listen and they lose. Why don't you just feel good about that and move on.

[Viceroy]

This site is broken, as broken as it's leader theymos.  Sorry you can't see it.

[QuestionAuthority]

Oy vey, I'm out.

[Viceroy]

So much for questioning authority.  You are, clearly, just another Theymos sycophant.  You really do not deserve such a name as the one you've chosen.

Viceroy I used to think the same as you about this. Unfortunately, this is when I learned what the "trust" system was all about...

One member "trusting" another, is supposed to mean that you trust his judgement, not that you are trusting his character. This means I can trust you, and people who have trusted me will also respect your trust ratings (not trust your character).

It seems messed up to me too, "trust" is definately the wrong word for it for some reason, but I don't know what the right one is... 

[freedomno1]

I would actually enjoy trust being renamed the Judgement System
Hehe

[Viceroy]

e4xit,

Yea the problem is that the site admin has made himself culpable for the theft.  The site admin placed "trust" upon TF and then TF stole 1.3 million worth of BTC.  The site admin is 100% responsible for that loss because the site admin told the world that TF could be trusted.

The word you seek is CULPABILITY.

Let me use it in a sentence for you:

"Theymos is culpable for the theft because he FORCED all users on this board to TRUST a criminal who ended up stealing from the community".

I still think you don't know how the trust system works...

Agreed. Guess you you should have trusted, back then?
