It is probably a misunderstanding. There is another user with a very similar username that has positive trust and runs an escrow service.
I would suggest creating a new username

but his name is not a trademark if he have positive trust then it didn't mean that he misuse this to give negative feedback to others with any valid reason

You are right it is not a trademark, but someone looking at your username could potentially confuse you for him, which may allow you to scam.
As long as you are not actively impersonating him you will likely remain free to continue to use your account, but you will probably get banned if you try to impersonate him.
The negative trust is to warn others that you are not the person who has positive trust

Just wondering, would you consider removing the feedback or at least changing it to neutral if the OP produced evidence that they used this name on other websites? I agree that people should be aware this is not the real redsn0w, but I would also be upset if I was prevented from using my usual name online simply because someone else went by the same one already. "Redsnow" sounds common enough to me that someone else could independently come up with the name. Or he could also be a future scammer who is just playing dumb to have the feedback removed, who knows.

i agree i think you should remove negative feedback and give it a neutral trust rating.may be he is a legit user, better give him a chance.about confusion on name , all people who deal with redsn0w know with his green trust rating a green trust and no trust rating is already a big difference.if the user found involved in any specious activity then give him negative rating with a solid reason and shut his mouth

The negative trust means that the OP will get a warning to trade with extreme caution. Unless the OP wants to start some kind of business then it will not affect him. If the OP does want to start a business then he should create a more unique username.

It is fairly common for scammers to make a user name similar to an existing user in an attempt to trick other users into sending bitcoin to the wrong person. When these accounts are discovered, people will give these new accounts negative feedback. Except for spam, feedback is not moderated so do not expect an admin or mod to remove it for you. The only person who can remove it is the person who placed it. Pretty much your two choices are making a new account with a different name or accepting the negative feedback on your account. i think you should remove negative feedback and give it a neutral trust rating.may be he is a legit user, better give him a chance.about confusion on name , all people who deal with redsn0w know with his green trust rating a green trust and no trust rating is already a big difference.if the user found involved in any specious activity then give him negative rating with a solid reason and shut his mouth
I'd have to dig up specific cases in the scam accusation section, but you would be surprised how people sometimes do fall for it.

Trustratings are not moderated. You can keep your account and do whatever you want, but the rating will most likely stay. If you want to trade here, create a new account. If you just want to post and read here this should not be an issue.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

If you like your username, maybe at least change, so it's clearly visible you're a diferent user. Use ReDsNoW or something similar and I'm sure you can come to an agreement.

That would still be a cause for concern because people could still confuse them and that example you gave isn't possible anyway because changing the case wouldn't work as he has already taken that name. Simply adding caps wouldn't work.

If he likes his username then he should learn to live with negative trust. When I saw the username who created this thread, I initially could not tell the difference, and it was only when I saw that the OP only had 3 posts that it was clearly a fake. IMO even using caps would make it easy to mistake the OP with the 'real' redsn0w, especially considering that the OP will eventually rank up to a full member when it could potentially make it much more difficult to tell the difference between the two as everyone may not know his 'true' ranking

Here is an example of such imposter scam. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=665923.0Yup, it seems obvious enough "theymo5" is different from "theymos" together with the huge difference in their trust and activity level, but still ...

If people are dumb enough to not double check the username of a well known member and end up getting scammed then I have very little pity for them especially when you have a whole ranking system and title system that lets you easily distinguish the old members from new, some of us even still have avatars!
I don't know about insta-reporting or giving negative feedback the moment they register, that's a bit harsh, but I think if they do actually try something like asking for money that should definitely get them flagged. There's a classic problem here where you simply can't regulate human stupidity, if people aren't going to check usernames and addresses carefully before a big transaction then that's their problem.
This actually reminds me of the whole gamersgate flame war going on right now, a company that re-sells games also happened to be called gamersgate and people, being stupid, decided not to double check whether they were even affiliated and threw a fit over it so the re-seller had to make a statement to clear things up, because people are stupid.

I agree with this...

...But not really this. If people are very likely trying to imposter someone a warning/red flag should be given and we shouldn't wait for them to scam first to do so (though yes, you've still got to be pretty slack to get scammed by these people but I've seen it happen many times before).

You are right. It's false feedback but I don't care because he's untrusted as well.

You missed other imposters. See Members' list [1], you can see a few imposters on front and if you navigate through many pages, you can see.
