A UNION TO ENSURE THE FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT OF ALL MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD (and nothing more)"The union for the fair treatment of all members"
This post is worth a look too
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5103988.0We notice already the usual scammers (lauda et al) and others are using mental gymnastics and super weak sauce bullshit to LEMON flag those they were punishing for whistle blowing them under the OLD gamed trust system. Yet don't have any flags themselves for observably trying to scam people or KNOWINGLY supporting scammers themselves. Many have some very serious observable instances of financially motivated wrong doing. There are several DT members that have some VERY STRONG cases against them for being involved in financially motivated shady behaviors.
The great thing about this new FLAG system is a UNION can work this time at pushing for transparent, fair and equal treatment for all members. This time the gamed and broken merit system can NOT prevent JUSTICE.
We will not accept double standards any longer. They can not SCAM people then punish us for daring to mention they did it!! can they?
NOW WE MUST BE CAREFUL. - we are not here to protect scammers or those that try to scam others. We should never protect any person that has presented a clear financial threat to other people here. We do not want to discredit this union. We protect the innocent and clearly abused that is all.
If you are a scammer do NOT seek the support of this union. Do you have a trust flag raised or red trust (old system) against you that is unfair? have you never scammed or acted in a way it is clear that you are intending to scam someone?
Present your case here on this thread.
TO BE PROTECTED BY THIS UNION YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE SUPPORTED OTHER MEMBERS. THIS IS NOT A ONE WAY STREET. 1. Spread the word about this union.2. Check back at least 1x per week to support flags and recommend to us new flags.Once we build critical levels of support (it will take time) we will focus on ways to right the wrongs of the OLD trust feedback system and the implications of that old system for all members here.
Theymos has done ALL that he can to now present a fair set of transparent rules from a top down approach. We have to use these tools, but they can only work against a present gang if we work as a united effort. Put aside your personal gripes with each other over petty arguments and ego battles. Time to bring fair and equal treatment and opportunities to the entire board.
Our goals are not only to ensure fair use of the trust system, but fair opportunities to be ensured to all members here based on their merit (NOT WHO THEY KNOW AND WHO'S ASS THEY KISS). There will be no hiding behind gamed merit scores and trust abuse.
Weight of numbers can crush ALL injustice here. The bitcointalk gravy train is coming to a stop soon for these scumbags that have been riding it for far too long.
This is a work in progress - it will take time to correct the entrenchment of these dirt bags. Even theymos seems to have only just realized that if you threaten to bring fair standards and take away their UNFAIR advantages, they will turn on you and back stab you in an instant. Even those you thought were EXCELLENT members and here for the good of this movement. Red pill time.
We can not raise any concerns without observable instances, we can defend no concerns where there is observable instances of prior financially motivated wrongdoing or clear indication that financial wrong doing was being set up/planned.
Set up your flags or present flags where you have been abused. Let's review them together.
Any person that is demonstrated to have previously scammed or directly supported their scamming can not apply to be part of the union or benefit from its protection. Their posts will be deleted as we see them.
This initial post will be amended and altered as issues arise that cause extra wording to ensure our goals of fair treatment for all members are met.
Any person that we consider is trying to be deliberately net negative towards the ends of this union will be deleted and banned from this thread. Those include known trust abusers and scammers and their supporters.
THIS WILL TAKE TIME IT IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE FIX. When we reach critical mass to overturn observable trust abuse it will become a hugely effective tool.
