So this is the feeling?

[Insanerman]

Recently, I've been busy due to the pandemic yet I've tried my best to keep up with the happenings here in the forum. I've joined the Logo Contest (in which apparently I've lost) and it had an issue with plagiarism on designs. Hence, examplens made a thread^[1] about it. It was a good discussion on what factors must be considered in making a logo design, especially for legitimate businesses.

Then I've tried reading its arguments in which some agrees to tag those that plagiarize in form of designing, then some just had let them be. Therefore I've answered with my pure explanation with regards to what is considered a plagiarism in design and what copied/inspired designs are considerable as another original design.^[2] Suddenly, I was shocked that I've had both merits and positive feedback because of it. Thanks, jayce, for earning your respect. It means a lot to me.

I'm not making this thread just to boast it out nor anything negative you can think of. I made this thread just to tell everyone that it is so flattering to be part of trusted users in this forum. I've been here for years trying my best to contribute. I though merit is the best thing to earn in this forum, but I am wrong. I may have lost the contest, but at least I've won a trust.

Now to create a discussion with the reputation, what was the feeling the time you first earned someone trust in here? I'm pretty sure it's because of lending and loan why they've trusted you. But have you earned some out of someone's respect? If you do, how was the feeling?

I got a +1 trust from krogothmanhattan which i never expected and I didn't know if he's a DT member. Like you, I was flattered. I just helped him modify his signature code and asked permission to make it my portfolio (at that time I was planning to start selling signature designs). He wanted me to receive tribute (physical BTC which he drew every day in the past) but my country is under the exception. And, I got this positive score.

[A bit off topic]
Just for clarity, Trust feedback is a bit different from trust list.
• Feedbacks act as trust ratings and are used to score a user's general behavior;

You should give these ratings for anything which you think would impact someone's willingness to trade with the person, but you should not use trust ratings to attack a person's opinions or otherwise talk about things which would not be relevant to reasonable prospective traders.

I highlighted one word there to show it can be used for a variety of reasons, such as someone being ahead of schedule during a trade, this does not explicitly indicate trustworthiness, but points to positive behavior which a potential trader may want to consider. Il
I have also seen feedbacks left for events that does not directly affect trades, which I consider to be wrong use of the system.

• Trust ratings are used to indicate that a user explicitly trusts the judgement of another user, a Vote of Confidence. Sort of like saying; 'I second whatever ratings this guy gives on the forum'
[back to topic]
I have mostly received and left ratings from users I have engaged in some sort of trade with, although sometimes I have left feedbacks based on trustworthy behavior which a user displays.

Jayce is a professional designer and that's the reason why he easily got your point about design plagiarism. Personally I know him and he is really talented designer. I have completed multiple design works with him and discussed a lot about different kinda design works. Specially I can say that logo designing isn't a easy task where most designers follow pattern, style, Font and lot more things from other logo's. Its been a long time I am working  with many designer and got only few among them who have great skill in logo creation.

 
I though merit is the best thing to earn in this forum, but I am wrong. I may have lost the contest, but at least I've won a trust.

Getting merits is always a special thing for anyone but keep in mind that you will only get trust when you will win someone's heart. So in comparison with that losing a contest isn't a big thing.

You can easily get some positive trust by taking loans or using lending service but when someone give you that for your contribution or good works then its definitely gonna give special feelings to anyone.

I do not understand why you would be so happy to have received merits  and positive feedback since you have been a member of this forum for more than 2 years and you should know that receiving positive feedback does not mean that the person has put you on their list of trust. you were only evaluated in a certain situation, which in this case would be your point of view on "Cheating in Logo contest ...", there are many of members of this forum who had a many of positive feedbacks and then started to receive a lot of negative feedbacks, no let yourself be fooled by these merits and positive feedback, just continue to follow your ideology and work for the community

You deserve it man, as all of your points are true. And also the struggle being a designer which not everyone appreciates our work and complaining on our service cost, that's real.

Well please note the feedback is adjustable. If in future you do a wrong thing in this forum, I surely will remove mine and even put negative. Though, we have to be grateful with any positive feedback we have, no matter if he is a DT user or not. Keep up your great work and good luck mate.

Agreed to everything you've said. But for me, trading is a common way to gain green trust, telling others that you are capable of meeting the deadline and willing to do as what it was stated on your deal. And I've seen a lot of trusted users that either trusted by loans or trusted because of his integrity explicitly shown in the forum, but I guess it was my first time seeing a green trust stating a simple reason due to relatable ideology.

Then maybe you cannot understand the struggle of designers as well. But let me tell you this, I've been designing for years and learning through certain experiences but no one respected how hard it was to design something that would represent a business and/or just design something that would please the vision of the people. And guess what, people would rather tease you on why should I insist a bigger fee, saying "it is JUST SIMPLE and EASY". All of such horrible experiences would be disregarded due to the fact that I'd rather take a little money to live than to refuse and be hungry. Hence, a simple wave of respect sums up all of the hard work I've made. Is being thankful an awkward nor a bad thing to do?

Thanks man! I've been planning to post some designs and be a designer in here as well. Would also make free designs soon in avatars.
