I have no issue sharing my voting and reasoning. I just hope it is read in the right tone. I'm a calm mannered person and try to be logical. I in no way whatsoever get a "power trip" from a silly med tag so don't go there. That mindset just shows immaturity and innately bad intentions. If you disagree, that's fine. It's going to sound like singling out- I can't help that. You requested I post my reasoning so I am trying to be transparent and share.
This is word for word my input:

D2god I voted no. To me, an active tag is not about being active.I think some people, especially active seekers have the wrong view of this. It's the first step in becoming a trustworthy member of the betting mediation project. Sure I 'trust" him with small amounts here and there but when push comes to shove I don't want him to be someone people look to when there are simply better options available. It's an unnecessary risk
.
That was it. I have no issue with d2god as a person or whatever. I just feel that given his/your past, its unnecessary. As you just mentioned, an active tag changes nothing for you. You can still do everything you want to do and people would still bet with you as they please either way. Heck, I'll probably still place some bets with you and not request uf or anything. Prone welched. I still bet with prone. I don't need him to uf. I enjoy bantering with him on the forum. But it's unnecessary to have that person's history listed as some sort of trust value when there are simply better options. That's really it- a tag benefits him in no way and no one else from the community assumes any risk either.
I hope you can find that a fair evaluation even if you disagree.
