VOD should be removed from default trust for systematic abuse of his position

[Vod]

Bzzt. Insufficient funds.

Bzzt. Refusal to answer question.

Try again.

Please put your hand up if you can "understand" what identifiable repercussions Vod has faced over his trust system abuse.

Anyone?

Ditto.  You guys can chat with yourselves if you don't entertain me.

Perhaps you should justify the comments you have left others.

Perhaps you can start paying back the people you stole from?

You don't get it - you are a scammer - your words mean nothing to me.

Putting you on ignore.

And nothing of value was lost.

Number of Bitcoins vod has to donate: 3 BTC.

And nothing of value was lost.  

Oh, 4 BTC! Thank you very much

You post nothing of value either.  You two have fun.

Bzzt. Irrelevant ad hominem, plus refusal to answer questions in an attempt to avoid scrutiny.

Try again.

I think this little exercise has quite concretely proven:

i) Vod is incapable of responding to questions about his use of the trust system, and the feedback that he has left.

ii) Vod attempts to avoids scrutiny by making inappropriate ad hominems and other off-topic remarks.

iii) Vod is unable to identify and prove any instance where TECSHARE supposedly "lied". It is safe to assume that TECSHARE has never lied about Vod, and hence Vod used the trust system inappropriately.

iv) In multiple instances (takagari, TECSHARE, iCEBREAKER) vod has used the trust system as a punitive tool for stifling speech.

v) Based on a precedent theymos has set, Vod should be removed from the trust system.

IMO your ratings of gweedo are inappropriate. His thread title is inaccurate and overly harsh, but this doesn't imply that he's untrustworthy. I feel that allowing your ratings to exist in the default trust network would be counter to the forum's mission of free speech, so I've removed you from the default trust network.

I'm sorry for this post , but I can tell my opinion. I don't think  that Vod will be never removed from the defaullTrust list , it will be impossible.

Apparently I'm no longer trustworthy in Vod's eyes, Vod removed the positive he had previously left me

A PM he sent me:

You sure noticed that fast.  I just removed it after I saw you had removed mine.  Did I fall from your grace or something?   

[Shallow]

Seems like the admins refuse to do anything about it. Kinda a shame, because this forum wasn't so bad.

http://reddit.com/r/Bitcoin is a much better bitcoin discussion board, without people who abuse their miniscule positions of power like Vod. It's also run by theymos, but at least free speech principles seem to be preserved there.

Oh my, Vod is thinking that he's the 'ultimate scam buster' and anyone who does not praise him is guilty of contempt.

If that is really the case, all that is happening is that the staff, and especially Badbear, Canaryinthemine, and Tomatocage are just allowing VOD to burn up their own moral authority around here. That only causes more problems for them. I don't think they realize that when people in authority are unwilling to enforce upon themselves the same rules they enforce upon others, no one respects the rules at all. This is a fact that will demonstrate itself to be true even if I drop dead tonight.

Wow I've made Vod really mad, he blocked my PM's for some reason so I'll just reply here instead:

Looks like my instincts were right!  

You guys have fun with each other.

I have no idea what you mean by this.

I removed you mainly because I think that at least some of your sent feedback was unwarranted. There are many examples, too many to list them all.

* Blazr looks at his two missing trust points *sigh* oh well, it was a broken system anyway.

I mean taking a personal message and posting it in a public forum.

I have no time for stuff like that.    Sorry, but you need not be concerned about me anymore.

It was a personal message, not a private message. There should be no expectation of privacy, apologies if you thought PM meant something else. Thats not how it works on the forum, you need to email me a PGP encrypted message if you need to tell me something private.

I think you mean avoiding scrutiny. You've posted other people's personal messages publicly many many times when it's convenient for you, and you can't complain about other people doing it.

I wonder how the admins will justify keeping Vod's place in the trust network after three 'inappropriate' ratings (as defined by theymos).
