    I am just wondering why these false and negative itrader's have been left on Shawn's profile: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/itrader.php?u=1

    I'm sure we're all pretty confident Shawn was not involved in those deals.

    My concern is if the owner and admin of this forum doesn't have false itraders removed from his profile, then the rest of us are very vulnerable to this happening to us anywhere on the forum.

    I see the guy's who gave the itrader ratings to Shawn have been banned, but I would hope for the future and for all of us that the ratings get removed as well, since they're fake.

    My concern isn't for one person, it's for everyone here as a whole. ;)

    Just curious, it's not so much about him, it's about protection of members being abused.

    theanand, I do not appreciate you calling my concern for everyone "stupid". ;)

    That is fine. But there are functions in the vbulletin admin to easily remove itraders in seconds, I think you can even do it right from the profile page. Many do business here and it's unfair for us to be at the risk of having fake ratings up on our profile just cause someone's running around here with a vengeance. Many go by a members itrader rating before doing business. Not all will think to investigate if the giver is banned, etc.

    I don't think it really bothers him.
    He has not been active in a while.

    Maybe you should read my whole post and see it's not about Shawn. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I was asking staff, as they would know the answer, not regular members. ;)

    Shawn can remove them when he chooses. The other mods/admins don't need to get involved - unlike how itrader abuse for a regular member would be handled.
