overwhelming consensus excludes Lauda, remains in DT2, went in2 buz w sold act

[Quickseller]

Non-withstanding the above, what you say is not even true. The most recent dump of the global trust list has 96 people explicitly excluding lauda from their trust lists, and 48 explicitly including lauda on their trust list. That is twice as many people excluding him as are including him. Further, there are 45 people who have excluded lauda from their trust list who have a UID equal to or less than mine (45 accounts that are old enough to be legendary have explicitly excluded lauda), while I estimate 24 accounts have explicitly added lauda to their trust list with a UID less than mine. I would also point out that there are a large number of accounts with lauda on their trust list that are very low the trust list dump.

Let me guess, you're counting blackmailers such as this one:

defcon23-/>Lauda

Totally-not-biased.

NoxX-/>Lauda
NoxX-/>Zepher

Cases like these make it trivially obvious that the stats are easily manipulated (re: DeepOnion trust farming shills).

Panthers52-/>Vod
Panthers52-/>Lauda

The dump is rather funny, either people who got busted for X, you and your alts (+-some minor disputes).

Are you seriously arguing that we cannot trust the number of people who trust your ratings? I guess saltys “will of the community” rationale pretty much goes down the drain.

I am not sure why you would be surprised to see people excluding you from their trust lists when you are as shady, dishonest, immature and unprofessional (among other things) as you are.

Its actually perfectly how I thought things would go. Lets bring back this little snippit with the important parts bolded

I'm adding Lauda because they represent the will of a large portion of the forum's users (myself not included). I disagree with a bit of what they do, but DT isn't really that necessary of a tool for well established members, its more for people who are just starting out and don't know how to create their own trust lists. By the time you've been here for a couple of years, you know to escrow when in doubt, and trust no one that doesn't have more to lose than they have to gain by scamming you. You can configure your own trust lists, so without any green or red numbers at all, you should be able to read the quantity and quality of an individual's feedback, and accurately make most judgement calls.

Lauda is on the absolute opposite side of the fence, and while I don't personally agree, I also can't say I am a good representation of newer members. Therefore, I think its important to have someone represent both sides. I think the vast majority of the people who don't like Lauda's judgement calls are people who can easily customize their own trust lists and forget about them, while those that rely on Lauda cannot do so as easily. With Lauda on DT, all basis are covered. Its just a matter of filtering out which you don't personally subscribe to.

The people who don't like Laudas ratings are typically older members who can take care of themselves. Those that support Laudas ratings tend to be more newer members who rely on Default Trust. Exclude Lauda all you like, if you don't need their feedback, great! If you want me to provide sources for this, I'll just refer you to any topic regarding Lauda in the Meta section over the last few years.


On an unrelated note, and the reason I'm back in this thread, the people Vs OGNasty debate needs its own thread if you'd like to continue it. I would have split the topic myself, but it'd be a conflict of interests, so I'm going to report the conversation and ask that it gets split from this thread.

[Hhampuz]

I appreciate the work that Lauda puts in to this forum in terms of "cleaning" it up. I don't mind it at all and I agree with SaltySpitoon that both sides may be necessary. I'm probably a bit biased as I have respect for Lauda and think higly of them, while the same thing can't be said for Quickseller, among others. I would however feel a bit sad if not all of these interesting elements existed on this forum. I enjoy the drama from time to time, whether it's TMAN vs OG, Lauda vs Quickseller or Everyone vs Theymos .

[nullius]

I am jealous of Lauda.  What is Lauda doing right, which I am not?

I’m smart.  I’m sexy.  I’m dangerous.  People value my forum contributions.

I did earn my own dedicated troll sock in this very thread.  In the forum at large, I even get the occasional threat PM from idiots who apparently wish to not post here anymore:

And yet, I neither get Iago-hate megathreads aimed at me, nor win serious enmity from two-bit semiliterate swindlers who delude themselves that this makes them look tough instead of ridiculous:

Being new here, perhaps I may be expecting too much of myself.  Yet I still feel that I am underachieving.

Lauda, you are one of the most trusted users on this forum.  I myself would trust you with my life’s savings.  I will also trust your sage advice.

I’ve always believed that character can be judged by the enemies one makes as well as by the company one keeps.  The hate directed against you, Lauda, is positive proof of your efficiency in crushing scammers, liars, and other criminal scum such as any healthy society must excrete as its waste products.  How can I do more like you?  What more can I do to help society by beating the Quicksellers of the world until they devote the whole of their pitiful existences to mouth-frothing, obsessive hatred of me?

Please advise.  Help me, Lauda.  I am beginning to lose confidence in myself.

This argument is stupid for a number of reasons, but as per Salty's request I will end it here. However:

First you complain about the deflection, then you continue it...

This can fuck off. If you make a snarky comment to try and make me look stupid, I will reply to it. Don't then try to call me out, and imply I'm a scammer for doing so.

[TMAN]

So quickscammer will you lock this thread and let's start a new one discussing what dickheads you and OG are?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

On that topic, I am fairly confident that lauda has used sockpuppets in this very thread to back his arguments. I believe one of these to be The Pharmacist, however lauda has not responded to this accusation yet,

But as you know, I've denied being Lauda--explicitly.   So if you're convinced that I'm Lauda then Lauda has denied it.  Or do you absolutely need this to be addressed from the account whose user id is Lauda?  It kinda makes me think you don't even believe your own bullshit. 

Certainly if you have any evidence whatsoever that we're the same person, bring it on.  And I mean hard evidence, not just our similar views on bitcointalk and facility with the English language.   

You won't have this, because Lauda and I are two different people. Just wanted to bold that last part so that there will be no misunderstanding.

[suchmoon]

Thou hast been accused of a fake trade. You're doing well. This is the beginning of a long and arduous task to FUD you out of DT... oh wait...

See, the thing is that in the eyes of QS you're worthless. Ever since he was booted from DT he's been hell-bent on destroying it for everyone else. So unless you can insert yourself into DT you'll never get the trollfuckery you're seeking.

A friend of a friend reliable unidentified source said that an unidentified individual close to you/Lauda said that you’re the same person.

Objection, facts not in evidence:  Despite lame attempts, Mr. Nasty has shown no ability at snark; nor has he demonstrated any aptitude for making anyone other than himself look stupid.

So quickscammer will you lock this thread and let's start a new one discussing what dickheads you and OG are?

QS is in quite a predicament when all his psychotically obsessive anti-Lauda threads backfire on him.  He does not know how to quit while he’s ahead—that point being, before he starts spewing obscene nonsense.  I guess he ain’t too bright.

Hahah, I missed that.

So, what you’re telling me is that to get hated like Lauda, I’d need to spend years building trust as a pillar of the community—like Lauda.  Fair enough.

Being new here, I could not expect to achieve that overnight.

[Lauda]

A friend of a friend reliable unidentified source said that an unidentified individual close to you/Lauda said that you’re the same person.

A friend of a friend reliable unidentified source said that if you were to shamelessly spread lies about OgNasty, you'd very likely get neg. rated (or excluded) by him. However, if Quickseller does this to others then it's fine.

In the US court system, the accused will first either plead guilty or not guilty before they are tried, and get to see evidence against them, and I do not see any other reason why I would be obligated to allow him to see evidence against him before he makes his position on this clear. This does not rely upon any confidential sources, so I can share what I have provided confidentiality is promised.

He claims he has evidence. I do not see evidence after you've explicitly denied this.

Lauda, you are one of the most trusted users on this forum.  I myself would trust you with my life’s savings.  I will also trust your sage advice.

Thanks. Stay vigilant.

Please advise.  Help me, Lauda.  I am beginning to lose confidence in myself.

Step 1) Start tagging account traders. Step 2) Start tagging abusers (i.e. abusive account farmers). Step 3) Voila. You've severely impacted Quickscammer's business and thus are on his list of evil users.

Very well.  Then, I shall only spread truths about him:  The truths which SaltySpitoon said are offtopic in this thread; and also, the quintessential truth that despite his too-desperate attempts to prove his manhood with silly graphics and empty posturing, Mr. Nasty will never be able to get the girls like I can.

(I omit Quickseller from that latter discussion, on grounds that I seriously question his interest in womankind other than for scamming purposes.)

Wow, I should read upthread.  That very well may be the single most twisted misapplication of the legal system which I have ever seen!  Worse, I include statements by lawyers in that assessment.

Thanks.  I will.  But as a most memorable ladyfriend once told me, I am “mad, bad, and dangerous to know”.

(Hey, word-reading people, is there any chance that you could fill in for the semi-literate morons QS/OG dynamic duo?  Thanks.)

What!?  You mean that to be like you, I must expend hours and years of my life on grim, thankless tasks to help protect the forum for the benefit of others?  That’s so much work.

Is there any way I could shortcut all this “work to help others” stuff by purchasing a DT account from Quickseller?

He sneaks in a very distasteful lie on every other page hoping that somebody won't notice and debunk it.

Of course you can, he is after all known for selling DT accounts to scammers. And I'm the dishonest one? Actually, nevermind that. The truth about Quickscammer is as follows:
"Obviously, QS pulled a questionable move with the self-escrow. Despite him being the target of much hate he continues to help the community.". At this point you might need a moment or two to absorb this.
"continues to help the community"... by selling DT accounts to known scammers.
A friend of a friend reliable unidentified source said that.
[1] I would expect one of the cartel members to use this, which is obviously not actual intent to purchase an account of any kind, as an excuse to tag you. Watch out.

If it involves anything worse than downloading terabytes of porn .torrents, and thusly giving himself carpal tunnel syndrome—well, I am not sure I want to finish that sentence.  The images flashing through my mind are already too unpleasant.  From his persistent “LOOK, I’M A MAN!!” posturing, it’s patently obvious that Mr. Nasty has abnormal difficulty with women.  The habits and histories developed by such males tend to be unpleasant, indeed.

Quickseller’s m.o. is so terribly predictable, in that and every other way.  Is there anybody stupid enough to find him credible?  No, wait—don’t answer that.

Yes, I saw that.  Surely, the excuse will be that unrelieved tumescence in the human male can make for exceedingly poor judgment.  Not that that would be a valid excuse for Quickselling his soul and his trust.  Such things must go cheaply for the author of those words.

Uh-oh.  Given how dumb they are, I guess I’m in trouble.  I have some experience for an apt comparison:

Once upon a time, in a forum where I had a certain reputation, there was a thread linking to an article with new evidence of wrongdoing by a corrupt politician whom I was well-known to despise.

Said politician was expert at deflecting blame to others.  So naturally, I wrote a one-line quip complaining that this fine, upstanding official was the victim of a vast conspiracy by political rivals.

Within minutes, I was followed up with a flood of posts attempting to prove me wrong, and/or calling me nasty names.

I never explained the sarcasm.  Others tried to.  The vehement (and sometimes vicious) arguments against me did not stop.  Neither did my laughter—till I paused to contemplate the intelligence level of so much of the audience before whom I was casting my words daily.
