Saying again, this forum and trust system is centralized not decentralized.

Trust system is designed to help others. People shouldn't judge people by looking trust rating but by looking trust feedback and reference. Trust feedback is necessary to know who to trust and who not to. Your saying tells you want to get into default trust list. I don't know why though. You still are trusted and can do trades. Just 1 trusted negative feedback doesn't make you scammer. People still trust you but somehow, your goal is to make Vod remove from default trust list like you stated in your thread or perhaps, to get rid of this system.
What people should do and what people actually do in reality are two very different things. People almost always superficially review a person and will move on to the next trader at the slightest question of impropriety. The Bitcoin community is a hyperparanoid environment because of the constant barrage of scammers.

Only some of them are hyperparanoid. See scam accusations, service discussion, r/bitcoin and probably articles too. People are still being scammed.

I would appreciate it if you did not try to dictate to me what my own motivations are, I can do that for myself thanks.

I don't know how I did it. I still think I didn't. Anyway, I will try not to.

The default trust is a broken system, and it causes more harm than good. The same goes for Vod.

Like theymos said, feel free to suggest a new system which can replace current trust system. If anybody can come up with a better system, I will support it. Saying "remove DefaultTrust" isn't enough. Come with a better idea...
