On October 23, 2025, @SendMyBags opened a slash against @kickzeth on Ethos for 207 credibility score. On February 11, 2026, about four months later, @kickzeth faced a second slash, this time from @JacoosJacoos.
The case shows how a slash on Ethos reaches beyond one account. When someone is slashed, the people who reviewed and vouched for them have their own reputations tied to the outcome.
The first slash: “Abuses his position to cheat, lie & steal”
Both accounts in the first slash were marked as reputable on Ethos at the time. @SendMyBags titled the slash:
“Abuses his position to cheat, lie & steal”
At the time, @kickzeth had:
- Reviews from 140 users
- 2 vouchers
Ethos noted that those two vouchers risked losing reputation for what it called misplaced endorsements. A vouch on Ethos is a public statement that you stand behind someone, and a slash puts that judgment to the test.
The full details of the first slash are available at app.ethos.network/activity/slash/297.
The outcome of the first slash
Ethos’s October 2025 post did not record how the slash ended. Its February 11, 2026 post did: it stated that @kickzeth had been successfully slashed by @SendMyBags four months earlier.
The second slash: “From KOL manager to KOL scammer”
On February 11, 2026, @JacoosJacoos opened a new slash against @kickzeth under the title:
“From KOL manager to KOL scammer”
Despite the earlier successful slash, @kickzeth still had more than 100 supporters on Ethos at that point. According to Ethos, those supporters stood to lose credibility if the second slash succeeded.
The full slash is available at app.ethos.network/activity/slash/372. The posts don’t record the outcome of this second slash.
Why it matters
The two slashes make a simple point about reputation on Ethos: endorsements carry weight in both directions. Reviews and vouches can lift an account’s standing, but the people who give them share in the consequences if that account is later found to have acted badly.
For anyone reviewing or vouching on Ethos, the @kickzeth case is a reminder that an endorsement is a judgment you remain accountable for long after you make it.
