Should Ratimov aka Symmetrick be in DT1?

[GazetaBitcoin]

Everybody please be aware that an account named GazetaBitcoinSV has been registered yesterday. In the light of recent events (Ratimov being exposed for Trust abuse done for years in a row, Ratimov exposed for deleting his old topics for covering his plagiarism), I tend to believe that this account was registered either by Ratimov or by one of his minions.

What a backfiring. I see his silence at this point. I didn't see any of his posts in these threads in the last two or three days. Did he post a word regarding his actions?

No, he just defied any form of common sense and decided to delete his plagiarized topics in plain sight. And he tries to stay hidden, just like TimeLord when all DT eyes are on him.

If it continues, he will lose his DT strenth

He still has a +4 DT strength now, but I hope that other DT users will add him to their distrust list and solve once and for all all the disgusting abuses made by Ratimov.

I guess he is frustrated with his own action at this moment.

You can bet on that. Poor plagiarist and Trust abuser hoped for years that he can get away with all these. But truth always prevails, even after years.

He should have think twice before his actions towards others

He should have thought about the consequences of his action years ago, when he started to plagiarize the work of other authors and present it as it was his work. This is where it all started. Fourth most merited forum user? What a joke...

Do you think he cares about his reputation on how people distrust him or not

Of course he cares. But he reached a point from where he can't get away with all his shenanigans anymore.

after my judgement I have to put him off from my trust and I know more people are to remove him anytime soon as well.

Distrusting him was a very good decision. Let's hope that others will do the same.

User is proxybanned, so you don't have to worry.

That just means he's one deposit away from activating. I've tagged the imposter.

There's a rather large sum of evil out there. I don't think anyone would pay that much. Anyway, I can let you know if anything changes.

[digaran]

Sorry but did you guys just tagged a user based only on the similarities of usernames, without them doing anything? Or they did something we can't find? Why proxy ban though if they haven't done anything wrong?
Talking about trust abuse etc, hence the need to say this.

Proxy ban is not set by an individual, not mods and certainly not DTs, rather by the system which reads and records the history of your IP. That account probably haven't done anything wrong, but the previous account made under that IP did. And if they didn't, let's say the owner of that username is simply a "collateral damage" of someone else's "sins", and they [understandably] feel it burdening to pay the evil fee, they can always ask LV to whitelist them.

Yeah, they can try

Anyone who thinks tagging imposters is trust abuse is free to exclude me from their Trust list. Or maybe you should think about who you're rooting for here. Imposters are up to no good.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

You know what?  Fuck it; I did about 12 minutes of reading through some of the links here and I'm of the opinion that he shouldn't be on DT.  In the old days, there's no fucking way he'd be on DT2 much less DT1.  I've got some questions about a few of the accusations I've read, but there's enough evidence for me to exclude him.

However, my trust list looks like this:

~DefaultTrust

So let me ask: even though I've been here for years, I still haven't learned all of the little details, like if I added ~Ratimov would that do any good or is he just lumped in with my DT exclusion?  If it's the latter, end of discussion.  If not, I'll exclude him specifically ASAP with happy Halloween wishes and some advice to not let the door hit him on the way out.

Lol! That shows wisdom!

In the old days, there's no fucking way he'd be on DT2 much less DT1.

In the old days Ratimov would have been ridiculed to the Moon by Lauda or TMAN for his plagiarism and, for sure, he would not manage to get away with all his shenanigans which, eventually, pushed him into DT and in a position from which he abuses this forum and the users for years and now (almost) everybody seems afraid of him.

if I added ~Ratimov would that do any good or is he just lumped in with my DT exclusion?  If it's the latter, end of discussion.  If not, I'll exclude him specifically ASAP with happy Halloween wishes and some advice to not let the door hit him on the way out.

Before the existence of this topic and LV's topic, he had a stunning +13 DT strength. After people started reading these topics thoroughly and understood how they were all fooled by this thief, some found courage and started deleting him from their Trust lists or distrusting him directly. As of now, his DT strength lowered from +13 to +4 so there is still needed to have some more DT users to exclude him, in order to eliminate him from DT.

Therefore, your exclusion would certainly help in resolving the problems created by this imposter for years in a row.

So, yes, if you distrust him this would help a lot in resolving this situation.

You are currently DT2 and adding ~Ratimov will not change much in his DT1 status. Given that your trust list is empty, you cannot be DT1, so even in the next DT selection, your vote will have no influence.
However, many have added you to their trust list, you are among the first few on the forum in terms of strength, so I believe that whatever you decide will have an impact, perhaps at least on someone else's decisions.

I've distrusted him as well. I don't know how much of an impact it will have but it just seemed the right thing to do.

Shame on you
Go read my Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system:

I still see users, including high ranking accounts, who use the Trust system incorrectly. For the Trust system to be properly functioning while being decentralized, it's crucial that as many users as possible understand the difference between "feedback" and "Trust lists". Confusingly, the forum uses the word "Trust" for both.

Lol.

my trust list looks like this:

~DefaultTrust

Don't worry, I have a backup. Restore your Trust list (with at least 10 users), and you can be selected for DT1 and mean something for DT2 again.

like if I added ~Ratimov would that do any good or is he just lumped in with my DT exclusion?  If it's the latter, end of discussion.

Did you ask theymos to be excluded from DT1? If so, your exclusions only matter for the users who have you on their Trust list (and the users who included them). If not, all you have to do is "reactive" your Trust list. If "the good people" don't want to be part of DT1, the Trust system fails.

Uh-huh... I did not see that The Pharmacist emptied his Trust list. In any case, what you stated is very true: such a move made by The Pharmacist would certainly influence many others, giving them courage to do the same.

I've distrusted him as well. I don't know how much of an impact it will have but it just seemed the right thing to do.

Thank you for involving in this, PokerPlayer!

I hope this vouch can convince suchmoon too

*cough* *cough*

.the good people..

*Sly wink*.

The Pharmacist (or whatever he's calling himself these days) needs to cull the majority of his trust feedbacks which are incorrect.

Anyone DT trusting that user does so contrary to the requirements of DT selection.

[nutildah]

Anyone DT trusting that user does so contrary to the requirements of DT selection.

Please do share these requirements with us, for our enlightenment. I always thought anyone could include or exclude anyone on their trust list that they see fit. "Anyone" meaning DT members as well.

And I have another question for you: what does the "D" stand for in "DT" when you write it, according to you?

Since nobody had the courage to answer me last time and only had the courage to report my post so I ask again.
How can you get a notification when a new user create an account on this forum? and why you don't tag the account yourself, why was your minions friends needed to do it?
This was... very strange.

I have no idea about the past, but this seems more like a try to get a user out of the nerdy DT-world and to help it just make up as much stuff as possible about the user, this is some hardcore sick stuff.

[GazetaBitcoin]

Probably you are very mighty -- disregard that. I meant this: probably you were off-topic.

and only had the courage to report my post so I ask again.

No idea what your question was. But this usually happens when you are off-topic.

How can you get a notification when a new user create an account on this forum?

One of my "minions" drew my attention about that account.

and why you don't tag the account yourself, why was your minions friends needed to do it?

Because my "minions" already did the job.

I have no idea about the past [...] this is some hardcore sick stuff.

Your statement was already self-explanatory.

But let me try explain you even better: you have no idea what Ratimov did here in the past (nor about what he kept doing up to present day); you did not even care to read OP (which has plenty of links depicting his shenanigans from the past); then you go off-topic again. Perhaps now you understand why your previous post was deleted.

Yeah he sure did... 👏 Then your minion maybe can answer my question instead? Hey minion.

Only 5 replies? So cute, can you do more next time please? I don't care what Ratimov or anyone else done in their past.
I read the topic and its only nonsense-nerd-drama.
It's true I don't know what he have done or you have done and as I said.. I don't care, but saying that he should create an account in your name just to annoy you, how old are you? for real? 11?
Ayway! Enjoy your drama with your cool club! I see you guys are quite busy here so I won't take up more of your precious time.

I can try. Meanwhile, can you try reading this topic? [TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies). It was addressed to Newbies but I think you also fall in this category, since you quote a full post in order to say a few words.

I don't care what Ratimov or anyone else done in their past.

If you don't care then what are you doing inside this topic?

as I said.. I don't care

Then once again: why are you posting here?

but saying that he should create an account in your name just to annoy you

Can you please pinpoint me where I ever said that he should create such account?

how old are you? for real? 11?

6. I barely learned to write.

Ayway! Enjoy your drama with your cool club! I see you guys are quite busy here so I won't take up more of your precious time.

Gee, thanks!

[Foxpup]

Then your minion maybe can answer my question instead? Hey minion.

I'll field this one, since it was actually one of my minions, technically speaking. At least, I think it was. There are so many minions on this forum it's hard to keep track of them all.

How can you get a notification when a new user create an account on this forum? Thanks in advance.

They didn't, nor would they want to. There's something like a thousand new accounts being created every day. Getting a notification for every single one wouldn't be useful to anyone. The imposter's account was identified by another method. Think harder.

saying that he should create an account in your name just to annoy you,

Literally nobody said that, as that makes no sense. Can you really think of no possible ulterior motives for creating an account with a similar name as another user than to merely annoy people?
