Lobbying / popularity getting out the vote is what any system like this based on.
Do what most people do put a ~ next to all those that neg rep you including those on the default list you get your belibers to follow suit presto chango your positive. Hate Vod get everyone of your belibers to neg him he is neg to you and them. US vs. Them vs. Them. Always been this way. If your army is bigger than the default list you have sway. Please keep campaigning I'll join your army tecshare minus negging rep on Vod. I'll just copy your trust setup okay?
In situations like TECSHARE's, you can (if you trust TECSHARE and disagree with Vod) post an additional positive rating responding to whatever Vod said. This will counteract Vod's negative rating.
So in effect, what you are saying is that the trust system is no longer about who trades and who is trusted with what, rather it is now about a popularity contest, and who you can convince to join your own circlejerk club. Can you explain to me why I deserve to be excluded from the entire default trust tree over one rating while Vod can negative rate me (and lots of others) without repercussion negating my entire trust over the fact that he doesn't like what I have to say about him? Every time you "improve" the trust system it becomes more and more arbitrary and able to be manipulated from the top.
Since the change:
