Should Ratimov aka Symmetrick be in DT1?

[LoyceV]

Ratimov changed his username, now he is Symmetrick  

He keeps surprising me. I'm impressed

If the @OP change the subject to "Should Ratimov/Symmetrick be in DT1?" does it kills the purpose of changing username?

It depends:

Why are you guys posting the old names of people who clearly needed their names changed for privacy reasons? Obviously any data posted online is going to be quickly archived somewhere, but that doesn't mean that your highlighting/reposting of it has no effect. In some cases you may literally be putting lives in danger. If you were investigating a scam or something, that'd be different, but you seem to just be indiscriminately & recklessly dredging up data that would best be forgotten.

Ratimov could argue he changed his username for privacy reasons. Lol.

Ratimov could argue he changed his username for privacy reasons. Lol.

I think someone more familiar said here that Ratimov is his last name in real life. From that point of view, this change is completely understandable. He probably should have done it earlier, this way it looks like the drop in ratings initiated the change.

I'm jealous lol! It's been 6 months since I asked to change my username to the admins! 

Sometimes it takes a very tong time, but just hang in there and don't give up. Help me count. How many months were those, minus the time he waited after sending PMs? 

If I remember correctly, The Cryptovator changed his username twice in a short period. Still, theymos has proven that he follows events on the forum, although it does not participate in most of the discussions.

Your memory is correct.

The user got permission and support to change display name three times. Coolcryptovator, COOLCRYPTOVATOR and The Cryptovator. theymos dislikes if we mentioned people change usernames for privacy reasons but the user did it because of impersonators, hence I think it's not wrong to mention this here (but still, it is offtopic so I will stop here).

Display Name changed from "COOLCRYPTOVATOR" to "The Cryptovator" | Tnx Theymos

[digaran]

Wow, did he really change a name to paid2 so fast? Looks like someone is trying to win the hearts of DT members after receiving an unwarranted tag. @mr. President, I have spare blanket in my tent on this board, if you felt cold let me know.🙃
If this crusade is going to continue, please change the title to avoid any more confusion.

Ratimov could argue he changed his username for privacy reasons. Lol.

He could argue for that, of course. But I believe he did it for putting some more distance between him and his plagiarism / Trust abusing background.

If the @OP change the subject to "Should Ratimov/Symmetrick be in DT1?" does it kills the purpose of changing username?

I just changed it, in order to reflect the reality.

A new name, a new face, a new account (maybe?)

Sure, why not? From Symmetrick aka Ratimov you can expect anything.

Your Second Life on bitcointalk awaits.

Yes! Definitely! Symmetrick never plagiarized any content and he never abused any forum user through his DT powers! Symmetrick is a nice new guy here hooray!

Everybody needs a fresh start every now and then.

Yup! Especially after you were finally exposed for all the miserable stuff you did in the past.


First of all I recommend you to start learning using quotes. I see you are Legendary user but your posting etiquette is the one of a Newbie. Did you not know that you don't need to quote full huge posts or whole topics, but only the relevant parts? Here, let me help you out: [TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies).

If you presented such evidence in court, it would be immediately dismissed for lack of arguments.

Only that we are not in a Court of Law and the evidence I presented was good enough since so many users distrusted Ratimov.

I'm still thinking of adding you to my trust list with a tilde.

Oh how sweet of you for not doing it until now! /s
I mean go ahead, do it!

I will keep an eye on your future behavior.

I'll try so much to have my behavior up to your standards! (again, /s).

many people think so, but for some reason fear you.

Me vs. other people be like:


(Again, /s).

LoyceV is a helpful forum member whose work I respect, but it's not entirely clear to me how he was able to take your side in this conflict.

Perhaps you can say that... erm... I manipulated Switzerland? This would make me the only forum user which managed to manipulate LV's judgement. Oh but wait, then I also manipulated The Pharmacist. And suchmoon. and Foxpup. And fillippone. And 1miau. And icopress. And NeuroticFish. And vapourminer. And philipma1957. And BitcoinGirl.Club. And lovesmayfamilis. And klarki. And jokers10. And zasad@. And wwzsoki. And JollyGood. And holydarkness. And Rikafip. And Brainboss. And bullrun. and Stalker22. And examplens. And Bitcoin_Arena. And witcher_sense. And Charles-Tim. And sheenshane. And tvplus006.

Geez, I must be so good! I manipulated all those DT users

And also all the non-DT users which distrusted Ratimov! Meaning Learn Bitcoin, DYING_S0UL, Nestade, iwantmysecond1000yardsbackyardpaiswithbtctoo, owlcatz, nakamura12, Despairo, SmartGold01, DireWolfM14, light_warrior, Poker Player, PowerGlove, execijutiere, Synchronice, Plaguedeath, giammangiato...

Sacré bleu! How did I do it? I must be a magician!

It's quite possible that I'll put some of them back on my trust list.

I am sure that, in their privacy, lovesmayfamilis, suchmoon and LoyceV are praying every single day for you to add them to your Trust list again. sometimes they pray even 3 times in a day for this to happen.

I would argue that anyone looking to "start over" with a name change should do exactly that. Start from the beginning, no rank, no merit, no post history. Don't try to hide who you were.

Am I missing something as to why 1 would need a name change? From what I read on his DT case he got caught plagiarizing, he deleted lots of old threads, not sure if caught in lies but the point is now with the name change it feels like he is trying to hide the past.

[GazetaBitcoin]

Ratimov aka Symmetrick wants to start over, but with no remaining evidence of his plagiarism, no evidence remaining of his Trust abuse and also with 11000 merits and +18 Trust score. Like a baws.

the point is now with the name change it feels like he is trying to hide the past.

You can bet on that. He wants to look innocent like a baby. Perhaps he also hopes that if anyone would make searches for "Ratimov plagiarist" or "Ratimov Trust abuser" that person would obtain fewer relevant links now, after he purged almost all his copy-pasted / plagiarized topics combined with the change of name.

Yeah but what about those sweet sweet sig campaign satoshis... it would take MONTHS to get back to that level LOL

There might be legitimate privacy reasons for a username change and in this case the username was a Russian last name, may or may not have been his real name, but I guess plausible enough to make an appeal to theymos to change it.

The timing of it though... no issues with bearing that username for years, now a "privacy" issue

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

And BitcoinGirl.Club

Shut up and stop spreading lies. Some may fail to understand the sarcasm.

Ratimov came to your satellite long long after I was protesting against his abuse. I even told you once that where have you been at that time? Then you obviously explained your reasons which I understood. I don't expect everyone especially the less-powerful accounts to risk their forum feedback page and become someone's victim. But credit goes to you that you put the pieces of the puzzles together and helped everyone to change their mind. I would never give such time and effort to write such a post.

Shall we call him Symmetrick Ratimov? Somewhere I read Ratimov is his last name.

[LoyceV]

Somewhere I read Ratimov is his last name.

Ironically, I only read that after his name change. That means the privacy argument for changing his name backfired.

Right now nothing is going the way Symmetrick Ratimov wants but the cycle of life is a karma. Who knows after a few years some day a new Legendary will raise high and will introduce himself as the former Ratimov. We will then look at that account. 1000 merit, 977 activity, 7566 posts, registered date September 26, 2023, 07:23:05 PM. This new high raised legendary will never have a history of plagiarism, trust abuse, and everyone will love him. I can hope for such a comeback.

[dkbit98]

As far as I know it's impossible to change forum profile number, unless you are theymos or moderator, so his UID number remains the same - 2627711.
He can change his username as much as he wants, for whatever reason, but this is certainly not the first time that someone has done did.
I see he also changed his password and email today...

Yeah but what about those sweet sweet sig campaign satoshis... it would take MONTHS to get back to that level LOL

It's interesting that after all this circus he remained in the same campaign, but I think that manager added him on his Distrust list

Now all that's left is changing the payment address for his signature campaign

So let's make a sum-up of recent events:

- this topic exposes all Ratimov / Symmetrick's shenanigans from past years
- many DT and non-DT users distrust him or stop trusting him and, eventually, he is kicked out of DT and his DT strength goes from +13 to -9
- he starts a mass purge of his old posts and topics, possibly some with plagiarism evidence, involving also in his actions the 2 Russian mods which he fools into becoming his garbage men, until theymos puts a stop to this (it was too late anyway)
- he deletes all his left feedbacks, retracts all his support for flags and wipes his Trust list
- stops posting in international sections and resumes only to Russian local board
- stops earning merits with lightning speed; stops sending merits with lightning speed (if you check his merit activity you can see that lately he sent some merits at intervals of ~one week)
- changes his name
- changes his email and password.

What do all these seem like?

LMAO!

In this guy's case everything looks shady. Even the new name, because "Symmetrick" contains the part "Trick"... Like he is trying another trick. Maybe his final trick before exiting the stage? Oo

edit : wow thank you! @theymos

Bear...! Bear...! Look who's here! Mansion got his name changed! Congratulation Paid2, I'm happy for you. And the name, I'm really happy you really go with that name!


[Ok, I've had enough derailing your thread this time, you can just ignore me, LOL]

[LoyceV]

Ratimov changed his username, now he is Symmetrick  

He keeps surprising me. I'm impressed

In another surprising turn of events, he went from this:

Let me support your competition as a sponsor.
~
As a sponsor, I will add the following amounts to the prize money:

1st : 0.027 BTC
2nd : 0.0135 BTC
3rd : 0.007 BTC

To this:

I received a PM from Ratimov yesterday informing me that he no longer intends to honor his role as sponsor :
~
Nevertheless, Ratimov added that Icopress owes a small debt of 0.004 to Ratimov. And this sum would be paid to me for the winners.
~
Sorry for the disappointment, like you I'm suffering Ratimov's decision, but it's his decision.

Ratimov reduced the pledged amount by 0.0435 BTC, currently worth $1649, after 90% of the contest's running time passed. And although I'm nowhere near winning this contest, I find this extremely disappointing to do. At least it earned him another 22 Merits posting this. He must have forgotton to delete that post. Let me archive it for him.

You don't just break promises in a community because you're having a tantrum!

This warrants a negative feedback. He can not be trusted with any financial trade anymore. It is risky to involve in any trade with him.

When someone is promising to send funds to a community event or mutual betting with individuals, automatically it becomes mandatory to honer the deal.

I personally engage with many members in side bets [in premier league], when the word is out it must be honored that's how it works. I am using this post as a reference of the negative feedback I am about to write in him feedback page.

[digaran]

If you are going to do that, and believe it's the right thing to do, you should create a flag not trust feedback.

Certainly, this is not correct negative feedback. He didn't harm anyone here, he didn't even send those coins. His promise was voluntary and a kind of donation and you cannot accuse someone for withdrawing his self-initiated donation.
He can always say that he urgently needs the money and that he cannot afford it at the moment.

Although I am of the same opinion, we cannot say with certainty that anger is the reason for this decision. In a fit of rage and renunciation of all forum things, he would renounce his input and leave the signature campaign. If it means $200 a week to him, why would he give up $1649.

Open side bet in EPL Pool. I will finish the season ahead of this CLS63 f**ker LOL.

The losers will pay the winners. I don't think anyone will avoid a trade risk feedback if they do not honer the bets.

I do not see any difference in Symmetrick Ratimov's promise too. He can not deny a trade that was agreed between him and other parties.
