Yeah but then you argue that the forced liquidation should also force the shorter buy back the ETC from the market and give that to you? I think many shorters would really feel robbed if that were the case.

EDIT: One more thing: Forced Liquidation does not guarantee 100% that you get back your loan; it happens when polo "thinks" the user cannot pay off his loan. With the value of ETC not known at the time, it can also be argued that you actually lost part of your loan due to borrower default.
