At what point does feedback spam warrant a ban / nuking?

[Coyster]

Sooner or later this clown is going to have to be dealt with.

Do you think GP would bother about that, I really do not think so, Infact he'll be enjoying the attention he is getting, this trolls love it when more threads are made about them, it helps them to stay relevant, I'll ask you to let it slide, ignore GP till theymos decides he has had enough, though theymos has such an elastic temper, so that may happen in a very long time.

He's been an absolute idiot with trust feedback for a long while now, at least more than a year. He's just getting more attention for being the idiot that he is.

TBH, at the very least, I think trust feedback should be displayed publicly (where-as you don't have to be logged in to see it), so that people can at least lookup GP, and see that he's an absolute sham.

Maybe there should be implemented a limit of feedbacks / trust / flags in a given time (if it doesn't exist already)?

There are limits already, but they are quite high:

OK, new limits:
 - You can't give more than 5 ratings to a single user.
 - Your total sent ratings is limited to three times your activity, but at least 1.
 - The comment length is limited to 600 characters, but each newline counts as 120 characters.

Ah, that explains why I never received a 6th negative trust from Hatch Support!

As I posted elsewhere, the more we engage him here the less time he has to try to steal from other people.
Yeah, it's close to a 0% chance that it will happen again that someone will fall for his scam, but if he is here then he is not elsewhere trying to get peoples money.

Oh look another 75+ feedbacks posted on the 10th.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=874254;page=sent;offset=0

And yet, he is still here.

Makes you wonder if he has a script to bang them out or if he is sitting there copy / pasting them in one at a time.

I know, ignore the troll. I know, if for whatever reason he has not earned a ban by now he is probably not going to get one.

I can still bitch about it.

And another 12 left as of 13:00 UTC today.
Yes I'm still here posting in this thread, and yes I still feel like I am talking to myself.
But I will keep commenting on it until some mod does something or tells me to stop.

It's really that simple. All @theymos or any other mod has to say is "Dave, stop it we are not banning him, let it go"
And you know what, I'll let it go. Until that point, I'll keep poking the bear.

I am 1 of the profiles he has been leaving negs on. He's doing it to every account that has supported a flag against him. You're not the 1st to complain and the staff hasn't done anything yet. Guess we just deal with it and move on.

But I can keep complaining.
Here is the new thing [OK, I don't know if it's new or I just noticed it] GP is deleting old feedback and posting new feedback.

It was quoted earlier in this thread but:

Trust spam isn't allowed. If I see anyone posting dozens of fake trust ratings (from one account or many alt accounts), I will delete all of their ratings. But Inaba is hiring multiple people to create these ratings. It is impossible for me to determine whether these ratings are "real" or not, so I'm not going to delete them. (Obviously all negative ratings are very likely to be fake, but I'm not going to guess about this.)

I agree that it is a little annoying to see a wall of negative ratings, but this is in the "untrusted" section. The way things are set up currently, untrusted ratings can be easily spammed in a number of ways. That's why those ratings are hidden by default.

Now if this is not trust spam I don't know what is.

Also, remember keep poking this troll not trolls in general just this one. Why? Because the more you poke him the less time he has to steal from anyone else.

[Most people can stop reading here]

The main reason I think this guy is worse then others is he is going after people who may have already been ripped off by a casino / gambling site. They are already stressed and worried and he is taking advantage of that. There have been many many many scams in the crypto world and there will be many many many more. But if you are just looking to make a buck and get ripped off that is bad. Very bad. Going after people who already got ripped off and trying to steal more money from them is WORSE IMO.
Dave's view. YMMV on how you feel about it.

Have you tried sending theymos a PM?

Honestly no. I was hoping to have a more public conversation about it.
GP is not the 1st nor will he be the last. But yeah, it might be time.
PMming him now.
