how do I dispute a negative reference?

[SirBrokenSword]

yeah, so that's the question. I don't want to make things public unless they have too be, but I recently got a negative reference I don't think was very appropriate. How do I contact a moderator about that? I pmed magikal memories about 2 weeks ago but haven't heard anything.

MM is currently busy with work, therefore it might take a while for him to reply.

What you want to do is PM Linrandir.

Process of Appeal
Very simple. Email me (Linrandir) and present your case. If you are appealing a decision I have made, your appeal will be forwarded to another Administrator who was not directly involved in your situation. Be advised that correct logic, evidence (as per a Bad Trader Report) and clear thinking will get you farther than playing rules lawyer, arguing semantics, threats, personal attacks, or appealing to my sentimental nature. Use of any logical fallacies in your appeal will not be looked upon kindly. I, or another uninvolved Administrator, will investigate the situation and render a final judgment. We reserve the right to modify consequences as we deem appropriate.

Do Not make me ask for you to provide evidence. If you appeal something without evidence you are wasting everyone's time and I will not dignify you with a reply.
Do Not send multiple emails, Private Messages, or other communications beyond the first unless you have something substantive to add. A "reminder," however well intentioned, is not substantive.

Once you've been contacted to confirm receipt of your appeal, the wheels will turn until a decision has been reached. You will be notified when the decision has been reached. Appeals will either be granted or denied;
Bartertown Staff reserve the right to render judgment and issue consequences based on criteria of our choosing. We are not obligated to share said criteria with anyone.

I'm back and will be on to the best of my ability for a while.
I have 25 PMs in queue.
If you have not yet PMed Linrandir, then don't. I'll get to you... eventually.

Please, keep in mind that IF YOU BACKED OUT (by BT's rules of what constitutes a Back Out), I will let the negative reference stand.
