I don't know how many times we will need to talk about all these... LOL
Anyway...
If you break forum rules then you should get warned (red tag) it does not matter if you have 1000 merits or you are a legendary member or even admin. Rules are rules. However, a defaulter should have enough rights to explain his reasons. If the reasons are not satisfactory then don't remove the red.
So, here we are talking about mistakes and explanation. The accuracy of the explanation (perhaps the level of satisfactory). In other words, people can make mistakes and give them chance/s if they made the mistake unintentionally which they did not mean to.
-------------------------------
You are talking about the posts I made very early days in my BitcoinTalk forum life. I remember I was even putting referral links under most of my posts those times. I was banned three times: 1 day, 7 days and then 14 days one I guess.

I sent PM to Lutpin 2 times but not yet a single word from him...
Hi mate,
I am writing you about the neutral tag you made.

I Understand your point of view. I may did the same thing until I had a clear explanation before removing it.
Seems like very early days mistake (February 02, 2018: Merit introduced on 25th means after only 8 days), I did not have any idea what I was doing here. I may have few more shit posts like this until I realized the value of the forum and started studying the forum and engaging with the community.I have deleted the red marked part however
for your reference here I have kept an archive.is copy. I am trying to be brutally honest, if you find any more this kind of stuffs then fee free to PM me if possible, I will remove it. Looking at my post history page, it's really hard for me to find these kind of posts (if I made any) to remove them.
I hope you understand and remove the neutral tag if possible.
Regards,
Hi mate,
It's been 10 days I still have not heard anything from you. I am quoting the same message I sent you last time and the important part with the bold font.
The link on the quote is not working however I found a copy here: http://archive.is/xpUJT#selection-5465.0-5465.50
A screenshot if the url is still missingYou tried to find a clue from the
last edit date and time but notice I even intentionally kept the evidence for reference...
Why did I do that when I could delete the reference? Because, I genuinely wanted to be very honest with my mistake. We never know an evidence could be useful for anything so it's not ok to destroy it, even if someone use it against me.
I tagged people for begging/abusing merit but the moment they admitted their mistakes I removed the tag. No one is perfect we all do mistakes and mistakes should be forgivable unless someone do the same mistake again and don't try to correct it.

Seriously! I already answered and explained it nicely...
Here also even I expressed my regret
here(again link is not working however here is a working one see the screenshot if you are still missing the link) when I created my Full member celebration topic which I archived but somehow it's not showing there.
If someone do an on forum bad act (breaking rules) which is confirmed, then tag them but it's too much when you tag someone because you think this could lead to that. The experience you have had and the experience others have are not same besides just because you are a DT does not mean that you are a mind reader.
Side note: Looking at the time difference, it can easily be assumed that my past work (good or bad whatever, let's not judge it yet) has nothing to do with the forum lifetime. Or does it?
By the way the full explanation is on several posts of the investigation topic especially on
this and
this post. I am really sick and tired of this whole MLM made up thing that I promoted them on the forum
(This is a complete lie, I never promoted any of them on the forum, those businesses were even gone long ago when I joined the forum). in fact, those businesses were not even MLM, they were revshare model. I was doing affiliate marketing as an independent affiliate. Can you guys give me a break in it?
marlboroza, I already gave you an explanation when you asked me on PM. Have you found them unreal or not factual? I also PMed hilary twice so far ... no response yet? May be I will show you guys the PMs some day. Besides you will find some explanation on
this topic. Here is
another one explaining the timing of the red tag and the withdrawing my interest from the topic.
Let me edit this one a bit...
A confirmed rule breaker (who is knowingly breaking the rules even after giving him the space to learn and to fix it) should defiantly get red tag, does not matter if he has 1000 merits and even a Legend. And in it I do not see any spoiling on the forum fame.
Look marlboroza, when people get treated as if they can not make any mistake (it's not possible right?); when they gently admit a mistake and ask for review but the other person do not even response (forget about review) then they realize they have been thrown away like a trash can. It's not nice feeling.
Wear my shoes for once and then criticize the red tag. None of you can say for sure that I could walk away with those 20
BTC, the future only would know if I actually was given the 20
BTC to hold. You can only assume from your past experience. On the forum lifetime if I had scammed anyone (you don't have to believe me however I know that I never scammed or even wanted a bad deed for anyone knowingly for my entire life or since I started learning to value others. It's in between me and myself.) then I would know that my actions were justified with a red trust. Do you consider me not a part of the community? Am I out of the herd?
I may not have very high trust like theymos, OgNasty, hilariousandco, Lutpin, zazarb, SFR10, DarkStar_, bL4nkcode etc however I have a decent reputation which I care a lot. Money can not buy the reputation, the honour so far I received from the members...
Other helpful users are TMAN, iasenko, mdayonliner, hugeblack, Lauda, etc.
You can use the forum search function to find their topics and threads, then learn from them.
Instead of focusing on joining bounties, you should stop doing this and spend your time to find helpful topics, threads from Jet Cash, iasenko, mdayonliner, TMAN, etc.
Learn from them, apply their tutorials, then compose your better threads. Eventually, merits will come someday.
Instead, I recommend you to find prestigous guys in the forum and their invaluable, helpful topics. Someone like Jet Cash, TMAN, The Pharmacist, Lauda, iasenko, mdayonliner, hugeblack, etc.
You can learn bunches of amazing things from them.
I have plenty of respect for about 20 maybe 50 people total on this forum and you're actually one of them.
There are many more good stuffs I can bring which makes me feel better, these reflect my reputations. The honour I receive from the members drives me to devote my time for the forum and the community. One can not just buy it with money. I do not know about you lot but for me these worth more than anything else. The money is just a tool for me, it simply does not define me who I am.
PS: Vod, hilariousandco, you and The Pharmacist are the four DTs who I see (no offence to others by the way, may be you guys are more active but I may missed it) very often doing the job actively. LoyceV is another one but she is not actively tagging others. Among all of you I find you and LoyceV are publicly giving people enough space to fix their mistakes. People actually need to have their chances to fix their errors. No one is 100% clean and perfect.
It's time for me to have a dinner but before I go, I would like to thank you marlboroza to give me the chance to clear up my chest. I really needed to take it out. Also, thank you everyone who supports my work, appreciate my contribution to the forum, offer me their helping hands when I need them, care to warn me when they see I may get into trouble and all sorts of good stuffs.
