^ Interesting. Og merits this post here, directing viewers to a very old techshare thread.
Today at 06:09:58 AM: 1 to Laudanum for Re: VOD should be removed from default trust for systematic abuse of his position
Then he merits a Laudanum (likely alt of someone) post 40-some pages deep into the thread. Who the fuck is going to read all that? Why not just quote the Laudanum post here in his new lapdog's (bitcoingirl) vod slander thread?? Is he trying to make it appear as if that merit has always been there? Is he NOW thinking that post was merit worthy, but wasn't before? Who knows.
So hard to find reasoning behind a stupid person, don't know why I even bother! Here let me quote the laudanum post:
OG is the only person on this forum that has been on DT that had the guts to use the trust system correctly.
I mean there is no correct way to use this broken trash of a design, but I mean by that that he was not deterred by the knowledge he would have his account and person attacked for doing the right thing.
He knew lauda, tman, owlcatz and their other slobbering scum pals would do all they could to attack him for correctly labelling those scumbags and scammer and protectors and supporters of scammers.
For that I respect him more than VOD who admitted he dare not give a red tag or even remove his trust includes for this scamming scum simply because he feared they would ruin his own account.
That is cowardice and repulsive.
Vod should not be on DT.
Having said suchmoon deliberately and undeniably acted to prevent a legitimate scam warning on a proven scammer and constantly attempted to cast independently verifiable proof of scamming as lies and trolling.
I would say they are less suited to DT than Vod.
The only other person here Nutildah is the last remaining provably dirty and dangerous willing scam facilitator left on DT.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190369.0The reader should be privy to all of this information to make an informed decision.
Theymos at the end of the day is responsible for proven scammers and willing scam facilitators for pay being on default trust and using his broken shambles of a trust system to block legitimate scam warnings and punish whistleblowers.
OG nasty needs to fully man up and stop kissing up to theymos. Ask theymos to simply say red tags and flags must be based on proven scamming, strong evidence of attempting to scam or set up a scam. Or must be directly linked to financially dangerous behaviors.
Not speaking up and supporting tecshares proposal which actually was exactly what CH has proposed many times but considered it may been received more keenly by someone like tecshare was a mistake, as was letting theymos broker a lauda OG reciprocal red tag retraction. Scammers and the financially dangerous must have red tags there is no messing about.
No other reasons are valid for leaving red tags or flags.
Vod is known for using red tags for personal retribution.
He is admittedly mentally unstable and I dont think it is fair to crush him too much hence his confusion as to why I go lighter on him than others. That and he clearly isn't a greedy person which is novel here.
Still he is not suitable at all for DT.
Anyone can be on DT if theymos had simply said what CH and TS and others had asked for for years.
I guess it is a case of don't hate the players hate the game.
Until there are sensible transparent and objective standards that are applied equally to all members, then most people that weasel their way on to DT and usually chipmixer are going to cheat and abuse the forum for their own ends.
Remove VOD and you'll only get another one from the same self serving greedy and corrupt pool of merit cyclers and socks take his place.
The changes need to happen at an admin level.
Theymos did actually listen to tecshare because I think he did know tecshare was a good guy and the sort of person you want more of in this community. I mean the flagging system was I think rolled in in part due to tecshare.
The problem is once again it was a sloppy and Ill conceived implementation. One that sought to keep everyone happy.
There is no keeping people happy. Just roll in something transparent, objective and fair.
If some people are unhappy not being able to scam with impunity, block legitimate scam warnings and not being able to crush free speech and punish whistleblowers..... tough shit they can fuck off.
Vod should not be on DT, neither should most of the merit cycling chipmixer scum.
Why do you even need a DT system?
You simply need a set of transparent objective standards. Anyone breaking them is given a red tag and sig banned forever.
Anyone above full member can report this and anyone above full member can give them a red tag.
Anyone giving a red tag to those that dont meet those standards is banned.
There should also be punishment for those that try to conflate undeniable and independently verifiable evidence of scamming with trolling. These people are as dangerous as the scammers themselves.
That's far more decentralized and will solve a lot of the bullshit, take the boot off of free speech and ensure all the other scammer advantages the current systems affords its abusers from inside the merit cycle club are shut off.
Merit should have NEVER have been seen as trust system / chipmixer strategy credits.
The forum is still fixable from here. I could grow this forum back to a sensible size in no time.
Needs to be action taken at an admin level. This let the most greedy and driven have all the say and influence is hilarious.
It could still be the core hub for crypto. It should be.
