Timelord2067 Neutral Tag For My Profile

[_BlackStar]

I left the forum for a while during the bear market to cool off without the mistakes I made on this forum. I recently noticed that my profile has been tagged by Timelord2067 with the tag "Not an alt of DarkStar_ u=507936". I don't know DarkStar and I have nothing to do with him so people don't need to connect me with anyone on this forum including DarkStar.

I have a username that might be similar to DarkStar "_BlackStar", but is that something to be considered reckless on my part that someone should tagged me as non-alt DarkStar? What is this for? Should Timelord2067 tag me and tell people I'm not alt DarkStar?

I feel a little intimidated by the Timelord2067 review or tag on my profile, this makes me think that this forum doesn't give me the right to choose the username I want.

I will advice you not to consider this, if truly you are not DarkStar, then do not consider it hash because it has nothing to do with your account's reputation than the truth. Not that you were tagged for something wrong, not that you were given negative tag, while you do not worth positive tag for this kind of issue, neutral tag is the best while your account is still perfectly okay like a user not given any tag at all.

You were not tagged by the forum admin, while tagging of account is not moderated. If you are not convenient with the tag, you can message the user that tagged your account for removal, but if not removed, do not see it as an attack, see it as an awareness and nothing more, and it does not affect your account's reputation than just being an awareness and nothing more.

Maybe @Timelord2067, wrote that on your profile, to warn other communities and make sure that: @_BlackStar not @DarkStar_ because your name is very similar to @DarkStar_, so other communities have no doubts.

There is a reason that can be taken from the neutral tag written on your profile by: @Timelord2067.
1. @DarkStar_, campaign manager.
2. @DarkStar_, lends money to the community on this forum.

For these two reasons, I think it's appropriate to be 'neutral' so others don't misinterpret between you and @DarkStar_.

That's just my logical thinking.
However, @Timelord2067, knows better about the 'neutral' truth.

What is this for? Should Timelord2067 tag me and tell people I'm not alt DarkStar?

It's just a precaution and I've "done" the same thing before but it was requested by the owner itself ^{[Is my Username Permitted?]}.

I feel a little intimidated by the Timelord2067 review or tag on my profile,

Don't be and it isn't shown by default ^{[for now]}.

this makes me think that this forum doesn't give me the right to choose the username I want.

You're free to choose any username that you'd like, as long as it doesn't resemble someone else's account ^{[especially the staff or known users]}.
^{- See how many I reported here [I do know your case is a little bit different]: Similar Usernames Attempting To Scam - Defaults Please Tag}

• Their accounts are deleted now, and new users can now not use names that contain staff names. (This is probably pretty easy to bypass, though, so watch out.)

I think the neutral trust feedback is incredibly pointless, and no reasonable person would mistake _BlackStar and I.  Like others have mentioned, I wouldn't worry too much about it especially since Timelord2067's trust feedback doesn't show up by default anyway, and it probably won't anytime soon (looks like 4 DT1 users have them trusted and 10 distrusted at the moment).

I could see trust feedback like what Timelord2067 left make sense if there is a high chance of confusion; ie DarkStar becoming active again. I don't think this is one of those cases.

I'm just going to park this here:  (taken from this thread "List of Participant in the promotion of scam site." started by the OP of this thread.  Archive [1a], [1b]

I don't understand why this person is willing to advertise scam on this forum simply out of greed. They ignored the warning and they also ignored the trust system so none of them would stop this stupid act.

Because they're just a bunch of spammers/shitposters.

And as OP already pointed out, they're greedy--and obviously they don't care about their reputation on the forum.  I haven't checked the ranks of the members in question, but I'm assuming most of these accounts are alts or throwaways.  The only username I recognize is FaucetKING; the rest I don't think I've ever seen (they probably post mostly in Altcoin Discussion).

_BlackStar....DarkStar_

Any connection there, or am I imagining things?

Edit:  I just took a look at the applicants for that campaign, and there were an alarmingly high number of Hero and Legendary members willing to tarnish their accounts for the sake of $140/week max.  Those still could be throwaway accounts, but given their ranks they shouldn't be.  Those accounts are worth money with a clean trust history and will probably be useless for campaigns in the future with negative trust on them (and I'm not promoting account sales, BTW).  Crazy.

... and ...

You're just imagining. DS wouldn't try to get merit from OgNasty in a merit giveaway thread.

Thank you @YOSHI and @SFR10 for your support.

I could see trust feedback like what Timelord2067 left make sense if there is a high chance of confusion; ie DarkStar becoming active again. I don't think this is one of those cases.

I’ll just say that some people are very easy on the trigger when it comes to leaving feedbacks, and sometimes that really doesn’t make sense. I never paid too much attention to the fact that @Timelord2067 also uses my trust wall to leave personal notes, but in his eyes, everyone is suspicious until they prove otherwise - he doesn't seem to have found my alt account yet (although I still claim it doesn't exist).

For the record I also think this thread is incredibly pointless and I ask to be left out of this.

[The Cryptovator]

I agree with @DarkStar_, it doesn't make sense to tag someone if he/she isn't impersonating someone. Black and Dark is a huge difference in spelling. Everyone has the right to choose any username if available and if not impersonating. But in this case, I don't think OP impersonating DarkStar_. If so then more users use Star with their username. We shouldn't leave feedback on all Star users at all.

[Little Mouse]

Although I wouldn't put a neutral tag for this, I would recommend OP to learn more about the feedback system and what a neutral feedback refers to. LoyceV beginner guideline for feedback system would be great start to dig more about it- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191802

I'm curious as to how you came to choose that particular username, especially since it's soooo close to DarkStar_'s.  I even commented on it in a thread some months ago--I'm just too lazy to go back and find my post, since I don't know where it is.  And no, it isn't reckless at all on your part.  You can choose any username you like (as long as you're not trying to impersonate another member).  But in this case, I can tell you that _BlackStar aroused some suspicion in me and obviously Timelord2067 because of the similarity.

I feel a little intimidated by the Timelord2067 review or tag on my profile, this makes me think that this forum doesn't give me the right to choose the username I want.

If you're really "intimidated" then you probably should find another forum, because it can get much rougher than having a neutral feedback left on your trust profile.  Grow a spine, some balls, whatever--just toughen yourself up, because members are going to tell you exactly what they think, whether it's in a thread or on your trust page, and not all of it is going to be nice (though a lot of that depends on you).

However, a neutral is nothing to be concerned about.  It doesn't affect your reputation, even if you think it does.  Take a look at my trust profile and see how much you think it bothers me.  I'll give you the answer: not at all.

Also, if I were Timelord2067 I wouldn't have given a neutral for this, but we're talking about Timelord2067 here.  That's what he's been doing for a long time now, connecting alts (sometimes wrongly) and putting neutral trust feedbacks on them.

I've re-bolded the word you seem to have misinterpreted.

Your examples aren't of people who have "mistaken" the two. Nobody has mistaken the two.

Nobody owes you a PM, and everybody should ignore your feedback.

You're slacking. There are ~1000 users with the word "star" in their names. You should label all of them with neutrals lest some illiterate schmuck gets confused.

I think here _  symbol made more confusion in this case. "star" plus _ in combination can be considered similar to usernames.

It's pointless now since @_BlackStar has already came clean about not being the same person as you but I would be suspicious too, I mean your name is almost the same in a sense even the underscore although at a different place. But it's good that there's a clarification for this one.

Timelord seems to be losing it as he just posted the same feedback in my profile and suchmoons.

Reference

This user has given out more erroneous negative trusts than anybody on the forum and their feedback should be ignored. When confronted with evidence that their trust rating is incorrect, they get extremely defensive and become completely unreasonable, unwilling to accept the possibility that they were wrong. While it is not appropriate to leave negative feedback for abuse of the trust system, I in no way trust this user or their ratings. See referenced thread for one example of many incorrect references and how they respond to criticism.

I guess that's what this is all about at the end of the day...

Well if you wanted me to change it, you should have tried to prove me wrong instead of right.

You insist you should be in DT yet your methods are... unsound.

[suchmoon]

Plenty with "_" too, for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2783069 - not tagged by His Timelordyness. Slacking.

[DireWolfM14]

There are plenty of reasons to beat up on Timelord2067, but I don't think this is one of them.  When I first saw the _BlackStar handle, I was also suspicious that this member was trying to impersonate DarkStar_.  Not because the names are so similar, or that I'm unreasonable (though I've had my moments,) but because of who DarkStar_ is and how much trust the community has for him.

I made a point to keep an eye on _BlackStar's posting habits to see if he was trying to mimic a senior member of the forum.  I wouldn't put it past a scammer to create a user name similar enough to that of a trusted member, then send PMs to people who post in said trusted member's service threads.  An unsuspecting newbie might mistake _BlackStar for DarkStar_, or might be lulled into thinking it's DarkStar_'s alt account.  It's not out of the realm of possibilities.

And in the end, who cares?  It's just a neutral tag from a member who's unlikely to ever make it onto DT.

Plenty with "_" too, for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2783069 - not tagged by His Timelordyness. Slacking.

That username seems like a much more egregious attempt to impersonate DarkStar_, but it's since it's been "archived."  I suspect there were some nefarious activities from that account.

[JeromeTash]

I think here _  symbol made more confusion in this case. "star" plus _ in combination can be considered similar to usernames.

But the feedback much is a neutral was uncalled-for. Anyone who would confuse the 2 names would have to be super dumb. Some people have closely similar names here, and it doesn't mean they are trying to impersonate anyone.

Initially when I was joining the forum, I wanted to register using "Tash" but it was already taken, so I used "JeromeTash". It doesn't mean I had any ill intentions like trying to impersonate the user who had already taken the Tash name, and I don't think It would be necessary for anyone to leave a tag on any of the accounts for that matter.
