DireWolfM14's Trust Setting and Tag Review

[bob123]

There is no way you can know this?

Also.. i believe i am not on his trust list, not sure though.

Sure there is a way that someone can know this. Simply go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;full;dt and find out who your name is under.  Also, LoyceV publishes information about people's trust lists, weekly. http://loyce.club/trust/ It appear's Direwolf added you recently because your name is not on his list in Loyce's latest data.

Oh, i completely forgot about this site. Thanks for the heads up.

I wonder why i got distrusted by a nutildah.. i guess because he tried to sell his account and i am not a fan of that.. Didn't even do anything about this, oh well. People have reasons for their actions i guess  

I added bob yesterday.

I appreciate that you are thinking that i am trustworthy, and not that i am a scammer - like quicksy does.

Actually I did that yesterday, like more than 24 hours ago, and the reason is because I don't agree with tagging people for old offenses unless their account is currently engaged in sketchy activity. I tend to agree with the Pharmacist's point of view on this issue:

At this point I personally would not go back to 2017 in order to tag an account dealer unless the member in question is extremely problematic or there are some other circumstances happening that would lead me to believe that the person needs to be negged.  I've not yet run across that.

After going a year and five months without leaving a single feedback you've left 22 negative feedbacks in the last 16 days, some are for account sales in 2016/17. You left a total of 5 feedbacks in your 3 years here before that. That kind of behavior is a bit odd to me, but you know, you're free to do as you will.

You've also been added by LFC_Bitcoin and fillippone so its safe to say you are firmly on DT2. No hard feelings.

Alright, that's a cometely valid point of view.
My stance is that these accounts (who showed untrustworthy behavior) should be tagged regardless of whether they are currently involved in sketchy stuff or not, except in the case where there are proven to be trustworthy at the current date.

This was also the reason why - for example - i felt it would be inappropriate to start negative actions against you since you have proven to be a reputable and trustworthy member of this community.

I understand this.
The reason for my actions is that I have decided to shift my attention on this forum from the technical support to the reputation section. Not completely, but i will try to make this forum a better - and less scammy - place.

However, thanks for being honest and explaining your actions!

If you were selling something such as alcohol or guns or something else some people do not like being sold, while following all relevant laws, and someone stole from you, I think you would be rightfully upset if the police had a confession from the thief, but declined pursue the matter -- you would probably be calling for the resignation or firing of the police chief.

I must admit you make a very compelling argument.  Although I do not condone account sales, and believe it compromises the security and safety of the community, I also understand why the activity is not explicitly banned.  Presenting bob123's actions in actual real-life legal presidents, it would be construed as entrapment.  If a law enforcement officer was to behave that way he would lose his job.  As unfortunate as it may be in a situation situation such as this his actions would be deemed as "going above the law" by comparison.

After some consideration I have decided to remove bob123 from my trust list.  I will not be excluding him, and @bob123, please don't take it personally.  I think you're doing a great job exposing account sellers, and I hope you continue to do so.  Having said that, you may want to reconsider the methods you have used in recent days.

I miss you guys!

I've been extremely busy at work lately; We have 5 new (burger flipping) machines to add to our production facility, and I'm the one managing all of these expansion projects.  It always seems to be that way, it's feast or famine when it comes to work load.  I commissioned one machine last month,  I have two more machines to christen this quarter, and two more in Q4.  It's going to be great to have some fresh machinery on the production floor, we've needed them for quite some time.  

On top of that, I have a ton of home improvement projects I'm trying to finish this summer, so my weekends are booked as well.  Two of my kids are home from college this summer, and being the opportunistic guy that I am, I'm taking advantage of the (adult) child slave labor I have at my disposal.

All of that means little time to spend communing with my friends here on the forum.  So, please don't take it personally, because I really miss you guys.
 In fact, I'm going through some withdrawals that remind me of quitting Copenhagen tobacco.  You fine folks really are that addictive.

s/he did the same thing to me. As with DireWolfM14, my Trust Settings distrust of nutildah was little more than a tit-for-tat when I saw they'd given me distrust.

I've never met either, but if they want to be like that, then so be it - water off a duck's back.

@Timelord2067, I see you are trying to revise your philosophy and leaving retribution out of the equation when considering inclusions and exclusions.  I'm really happy to see it, because I want you in my inclusion list.  You've tagged a whole shit ton of people and those tags are valuable, in my opinion.

@johhnyUA, if you have any issues with my being on DT1 feel free to discuss it here.  I don't speak Russian, and would prefer to not reply to your post in the local board.  Your post seems to be directed at west vs. east, and I'm just used as an example, even though I'm of Palestinian ethnicity, and English is my second language.

I will say this in response; I didn't ask to be on DT1, I don't need to be on DT1, and I don't necessarily want to be on DT1.  I will, however, accept it as an honor and treat the responsibility as such.  This attitude is probably one of the reasons I find myself here.

If you are one of the people who seem to think of DT status a privilege (and less of a responsibility) and the number of green reviews you've collected entitles you to that privilege, you're probably never going to be on DT1.  Just my opinion.
