Why does Foxpup only send negative feedback?

[airfinex]

In 9 years Foxpup has not sent a single positive feedback. Why? Is it somehow connected with his superiority over the rest? Even theymos sent positive feedback.

Why?

Why not? What is the requirement to leave positive feedback?

[Oshosondy]

Did Foxpup inappropriately give negative feedback? Or you know a user she inappropriately gave negative feedback? If not, then you can pm Foxpup to tell you the reason. But if it is me, I will not respond you because it is not a meaningful question after the evidences of given such feedbacks are clear.

If you wanted to know why she sent only negative feedbacks, why didn't you ask her that directly via PM instead? Or you just wanna stir some shit, like we didn't have enough  enough of those in reputation section.

[electronicash]

because he would also be deleting the positive feedback if the user fuck up later. leaving positive feedback means you vouched for the person for whichever his future transaction would be. maybe he doesn't want to be associated with a user who could one day scam. we don't know exactly whats his reason but it's his right not to do it.

its not just him I'm sure there are more users i see don't do anything. i made a transaction to one user and we never talk after sending my btc to them and him paying me usd.

You said Foxpup sends only negative feedback but a quick look up tells that he once sent a neutral feedback too  It’s not mandatory to send positive feedback because it exists.
If someone is helping people, doesn’t necessarily mean they have to do some evil works too. In my region, they are fine with only helping people without evil works.

In 9 years Foxpup has not sent a single positive feedback. Why?

For the simple reason that I've never used this forum as a business opportunity, with the debatable exception of my infamous Merit Cycling Club, though that deal is still ongoing so there's technically still a counterparty risk, even though I trust everyone involved. Don't worry; they'll all get positive trust once it's all wrapped up. Will that make you feel better?

Is it somehow connected with his superiority over the rest?

Probably, but not how you think. My lack of business dealings hasn't saved me from making a few enemies; I suppose my natural vulpine superiority might be to blame for that, now you come to mention it. And at the end of the day, my enemies need to learn just what it means to mess with the fox: that my cute fluffy exterior and vixenly charms conceal slavering fangs, sharp claws, and the willingness to dye my fur red with the blood of my vanquished foes. (Of course, that last part is just a metaphor for my trust page; red is my natural colour, as far as anyone knows...)

I'm assuming, of course, that you have no substantive objections to my trust feedback and that you're just looking for an entertaining reaction from me. Did I do good?

[NeuroticFish]

Why?

Imho this is a personal choice and, like everybody else with their choices, she doesn't have to answer to anyone about that.
However, I sense some bitter reasons behind the question, but maybe I am wrong. However, if I'm right, then imho it's a matter you should (first) ask/discuss privately.

[The Cryptovator]

This isn't something to discuss on reputation. You may simply ask via forum PM if you are curious to know about it. Everyone is free to do what he likes on the forum and the outcome will be accordingly. If you don't think someone is trusted then will you leave positive feedback? I am not leaving positive if I think that person is not trusted. So everyone has their own thought and judgment and they are free to use as well. If someone not abusing the trust system means there are no concerns.

Aww, that's kind of you, Foxpup.  And the reason you gave was what I was going to suggest if you hadn't posted here--I've never seen you do any deals on the forum, so there would be no real need for you to hand out any positives.  And man, there are just so many reasons why members should get negatives.

OP, you'll find that DT members tend to have a very high negative/positive ratio for trust left for other members, and that's because a lot of DT members have become trusted by busting scams and catching cheaters.  They also have to be very conservative about leaving positives, since that could potentially turn a questionable member's trust to green--and that could be exploited in order to scam.  It's been known to happen before.

Ok, there is a lot to unpack here. When is it ending? Why positive trust - is there any risk involved from your side? On the flip side, can we get negative trust if we do something un-club-worthy? What do I do to avoid that? Should I cycle more merits? Praise the supreme leader? Slap the OP? I've already sacrificed o_e_l_e_o to the club, I hope that counts for something.

Misery loves company... I’m guessing a person’s personal happiness correlates strongly with the type of feedback they typically leave. Possibly also a feeling of helplessness in their own lives causes them to want an outlet for their frustration which tends to manifest itself in an abuse of any authority they may perceive themselves to have, in this case, leaving negative feedback in the DT network.

It is ok to do that as long as you don't include accounts to your trust network just because they left negative feedback to people you don't like

When I eventually get bored of doing this, I guess. This whole thing is just a practical joke that got out of hand, after all. It won't last forever, so please don't rely on it as your sole source of income.

Why positive trust - is there any risk involved from your side?

I'm paying you all each week/month in advance, remember? If you decide to prematurely quit showing my avatar without notice and without providing a reasonably pro-rated refund of the advance payment or other compensation, I'm going to be rather put out.

On the flip side, can we get negative trust if we do something un-club-worthy?

Unlikely. Not upholding your end of the deal is one thing, but other actions sufficiently unbecoming to cause you to be expelled from the club? Not a trust issue, and you'll still get your positive trust. See, I'm reasonable like that.

I would rather give every user a negative tag rather than a positive tag.

Even after the DT changes, I still consider any positive feedback to be much more impactful than negative feedback. It's already bad enough that new users will have a false sense of security unless they know the inner workings of how to trust others here (i.e. not at all, at least initially).

Wait, so that whole thing with the goat's blood was your idea?

When it ends, I hope you are aware I will be starting a thread accusing you of discrimination against all o_e_l_e_oians. No hard feelings.

Ah, when you put it that way it seems to make sense. Probably grounds for type 3 flag. Maybe some light spanking too.

I would rather give no users negative tags, but unfortunately sometimes the personal abuse, lies, harassment, extortion, and stealing gets out of hand to the point where it's necessary in order for me to feel like I'm not letting the forum down with the responsibility thrust upon me.

I find it interesting that some people would prefer handing out negative consequences to positive reinforcement.  I think those people must have never raised a dog, or at least not a very good one...

I find it interesting that you're comparing all those noobs you green-trusted for buying trinkets from you with zero risk to raising dogs... makes sense then you think about your trust farming and trust abuse. Fluffy puppies.

I find it interesting that you're comparing being merely called out for untrustworthy and potentially even outright criminal behaviour to animal abuse.
