The links are to accusations, not evidence. Sure, Trust can be abused, but not BespokeServicesLTD Trust.
If selling trust was bad, I'm sure theymos would have made a rule against it. He didn't, and here is why:
You can't ban selling Trust, there's no way to enforce that. Trust would still be bought and sold, but newbies wouldn't know about it, so they won't be able to protect themselves.
I'm selling my Bespoke Quality trust in the open, on Bitcointalk, so newbies would know it's done all the time and will be more careful.
Just like selling accounts.
You're not against selling trusted accounts, are you?
If you don't like the way the forum is run, then make your own. If it's truly a better way to run a forum, and this forum is so bad, then you should have no problem converting users, businesses, and making this forum obsolete.
If you really want to see a change, try having a rational conversation about it. I know you can. The trolling will just get ignored and won't accomplish anything.
I'm here on a forum that is mine as much as it is yours, to sell my trust, make a few $$ and help people out.
How is this trolling?
Are you implying that selling trust, without it being attached to an account, is substantially different from selling an account with green trust rating?
If so, explain how & why.
Rationally.
