Trust ratings should be an INDICATOR of some one's trust, not the be all end all. Right now it is designed to be all and end all.

Trust ratings are simply an indicator of someone's trust, not the be all end all. I see many people successfully trading with users that have negative trust.

Is it ? Example ?

But, DefaultTrust has also been tricked in a gross way. FriedCat has stolen probably more than what DefaultTrust has ever saved and he is still standing at +150 !!!

Friedcat wasn't enabled to 'scam' by his rating, the early batches of Blades were enabled by his even earlier Blades and subsequent ratings.

What do u mean ? Care to elaborate ?

If Friedcat had a 0/0 rating on trust, the outcome would have been the same. Those parties who had funds / investments / $millions with friedcat were not making a decision solely based on his bitcointalk trust rating.
