In my post
Seriously though, it's up to any potential trade partner to make apply their own judgement of the feedback on an account. I used neutral so it's a warning without harsh consequences. That may change in the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ratimov doesn't return.

I'd say: "it depends". User yogg went from +32 =0 -0 a year ago to #  +13 =0 -43 now. This means the majority of DT removed their positive feedback.
On the other hand, there's this account, where RHavar left positive feedback in 2016, and negative feedback in 2019. This way, it shows a timeline of events and going from trusted to untrusted.

It's more that I don't think the old feedback still applies.

Agreed I love democracy

He deleted all his trust ratings, withdrew all his flags, is no longer eligible for DT & hasn't logged in since Dec 11th, safe to say the story is over.

As he committed forum self-immolation in spectacular fashion, there's really no point to continue to stomp around on his charred remains.

He could have sold his account in secret and do a homerun but he wanted all the fireworks instead 

If he sold the account he doesn't have to care anymore if it's a secret or a firework. Fucked the buyer probably, or maybe not because the buyer seems to have profitably absconded with some signature money if I'm reading the latest nonsense correctly, but either way it's not like account buyers add any value to the forum.

Anyone knows how many red tags were removed when he deleted them all? Back in the days I had an offer of 0.02 per case and price was $1000 per BTC, now lets just say $200 per tag, I won not one case, but so many of them like a class action. Now who said I can't do it?
If you need my evidence, tell me so I can provide them step by step, after 5 years I did it. 😉 remember not to challenge a deranged jobless clown.

And who knows if he has another account that may still be active in this forum? If someone loves forums and it become their daily routine to check Bitcointalk threads, they will still continue visiting the website to check threads without even logging in. Who knows maybe Lauda still watching us and sometimes laughing seeing how we often discuss her. Or, if someone takes the forum as one of the earning sources, you won't be able to kick them out of the community. They will be there with new names, and new identities and you will never know how many of them returned with a new identity. Probably, you could think that I am glad I haven't seen that stupid for a while, but you are getting engaged regularly with his alt accounts maybe you have a good understanding with his alt account without even understanding who it is! we don't know! think twice!

I read about this a couple of days ago, and I've been thinking of writing something substantial, but fuck it. I'm at a loss of words.

That bastard really bought himself low and sold him high.

Really sad story, only if he could have apologized for all the wrongdoings and continue participating without bullying people. But instead he chose to hide in shame. IMO, everyone deserves to be forgiven, even when you kill someone, God has provided the option of forgiving. It's never too late to correct the mistakes of the past as long as we have the chance, which means as long as we are alive. Because the moment we see the angel of death, no amount of apology and repent would do us any good. This should be a lesson for us all.

Now the comedy part:
Let us stay silent for 1 minute for the loss of our fallen hero. 😂
I hope he could do a final heroic act of dumping all his smerits on me, so I can rank up. Lol

Wow, what a timely death.

It looks like he had been preparing it.

I'm skeptical by nature, and when someone deletes all posts, feedbacks, announces that he is no longer a sponsor etc etc and suddenly after 15 days without logging in someone appears, who magically had the passwords to enter the forum, and announces his death, I don't believe it.

Although for forum purposes it is the same thing. He was dead before he announced it.
