Rep Abuse? Got neg rep so I can't post because of a question - VirtualSales - Jul 1, 2017

• Reputation Collusion: Agreeing to participate in reciprocal reputations with a member.
TLDR:
He was posting about selling RDPS for $10 offering no refunds or warranty. I simply asked him about it and what makes it safe for the client.
Within 2 minutes him and his buddy -reps me so I can't post anymore. He also reported my post.
Which was a actual question.
I just wanted to warn people who attemps to make a deal with this person. It seems he changed his username 60+ times but I am adding his UID report here because if you look him up you cant find it because people have not listed his UID. Further more I will keep it here to keep people safe.

You can report it to the mods if it's invalid since I can't understand why he gave you negative rep.

Quote:What is reputation abuse?
Reputation abuse can be very complicated subject matter. Here is a list of the following ways reputation can be viewed as abuse.
• Flaming: Using extremely coarse language to describe or berate a member.
• Reputation as a currency: We do not allow the buying or selling of reputations.
• Gang Rep: The act of coordination with other members to raise or lower a member’s reputation is not allowed.
• Rep Coercion: Using intimidation, threats, or blackmail to get reps added or removed.
• Rep Requesting: You cannot give hints, tips, or request reputations.
• Scammer Reputation: You're required to leave a link to a Deal Dispute thread you have created to infer someone is a scammer (ie: scammer, scams, chargebacks, scamming). Please note that a Deal Dispute link must be your own thread you've created. It cannot be a thread opened by another member.
• Deal Dispute Linking: We don't allow you to link to a Deal Dispute forum thread that's opened by another member.
• Reputation Collusion: Agreeing to participate in reciprocal reputations with a member.
As far as I can see that is not rep abuse.

This is exactly what it is. All I did was ask a question on safety because of his no customer safety and he and his friend -reps me so I can't post.
If you look up their activity.. they actually do a lot of things together.
