As per the forum policies, red trust is a punishment given to those who try to scam others. Most of the admins here are unbiased, and use red trust only when there is sufficient proof that an user is trying to scam someone.

But the case is different with the extreme-leftist cabal led by Lauda. If they notice that someone is on the opposite side of the political divide, then they'll use the silliest reasons to nuke that account.

Seven months back, I was red trusted by Lauda, for bumping the ANN thread. I wasn't trying to scam, and explained it to her. But no use. As per the forum rules, thread bumping and spamming are not liable for red trust. At the most, they can be banned for 7 days or 14 days. But Lauda makes her own rules and used this as an excuse to destroy my account. And my case is very unique. Others who did the same escaped without any punishment, and I was the only one who received red trust.

I joined this forum way back in 2012 and no matter how insignificant it was, I also played my part in popularizing this forum. Back then, the admins respected freedom of speech and were unbiased. I had no black mark here until this admin gave me red trust.

I am not begging anyone to remove my red trust, because I know that it was given to me in an unfair manner. I am making this post, to make others aware of what is going on here. For the past 2-3 years, this forum has become a place to bully and blackmail, thanks to certain high ranking users.
