I made a topic about purchasing a forum account for signature advertising and someone has given me negative feedback for it. Even though it is within forum rules.
Can I please have this removed?
The trust rating is legitimate though. He/She finds you to be untrustworthy for trying to buy accounts. That is well within his/her rights to do so. Meanwhile, you already responded in kind, which you are also allowed to do.
Personally, I agree with him. Buying an account to participate in a signature campaign is not an attractive behaviour. Many members here actually have worthwhile things to say and useful information to contribute, and those members are the ones that the signature campaigns are looking for. If you're just here for the money, then you aren't really a glimmering beacon of trust. Your actions may fall within the realm of acceptable Bitcointalk behaviour, but other members are free to give you a negative trust feedback if that same behaviour makes you seem untrustworthy to them.
