@theymos what is the thinking behind increasing the numbers? It makes changes too much. Was it to increase the strength of DefaultTrust?

You'll get used to the larger numbers. DefaultTrust doesn't get any sort of advantage as far as I can tell.

What is the issue with the earlier numbers?

DefaultTrust gets an advantage. Earlier, one default feedback still means 10 months remaining black and slowly increasing number. Now, all one has to do is manage one default feedback and very soon it is green. Similar is the case for moving from light green to dark green.

Advantages of trading with DefaultTrust members went up even more, they are going to get bargains now.

The meaning of having "green" trust is now diminished and will be similar to what was previously the meaning of having black positive trust.

Yes. I think with this new algorithm low positive trust should be shown as black (maybe bold). Light green should be used when reaching some value (at least 5, maybe 10) and dark green when surpassing at least 2x or 3x that first threshold.

Either that or rescale it. Dividing it by 5-10.

@ Quickseller there is a difference. A single trade or activity gives a lot of numbers now, while a lot of trades outside that makes it remain 0. The number increase works for all those with any numbers. For all those with 0 it remains 0, there is no scaling.

a trust score of positive 5 with the new system is the same as a trust score of 0(0)-1(1) under the old system. IMO you really shouldn't be trading just because the other person is on default trust anyway.

Difference is anyone with a number gets a higher number. Anyone with a 0 is still 0.

If people here didn't do what they shouldn't do there would be no need of the trust system. Thats not how it works, scammers will attempt to trade with DefaultTrust members and wait for a few months to gain a lot of ratings and color.

It makes changes abrupt, like that happened with Muhammed Zakir.

Fair enough on trading with specific people.

However the meaning of having a low trust score now is the same meaning as having black positive trust. Their potential trading partners should take similar precautions with someone with a green trust score of plus 5 now as they would as black trust with one trust rating previously.

Also this is an improvement as previously you could have one successful trade two years ago and would show as having significant amounts of trust. This is fixed by getting a max of 10 points per trade.

You also need to consider that previously the max score you can have was 150 while now the max score is 9999 so having a small positive score would be essentially the same as zero.
