I think people should use trust ratings however they please (AKA the current system!). All of this "rules about trust" nonsense is foolish.

I think that there should be some level of community standards when it comes to the trust system. Otherwise people will be exchanging feedback based solely on personal vendettas and if we give it enough time, then everyone will be labeled a scammer because everyone will at one point piss someone on default trust off.
