I am curious to know why more people didn't try to warn others about entrusting TF with such large amounts of money if it was so obvious that TF was such bad news.
He was able to game DefaultTrust early on when the trust system came out. Anyone who attempted to question his trustworthiness was given a negative rating by TF and his friends from coinchat and their concerns were ignored by everyone due to the rating.
That's what happens when you have un-moderated trust feedback.
Quick and easy fix : hire Vod as staff, let him moderate trust,and give his word a final say when it comes to abuse of trust; ta daa, problem solved.
At the least, scammer tags should have stayed along with this current default trust joke; so scammers would remain tagged
Just imagine how many scammers (and soon-to-be-one's) would loose their mind to this, aww jiss
cheers
Why should there be a moderator in trust feedback? Anyone should freely state their trust to anyone without asking someone first to let him do the thing. That would be utter nonsense. However, trust feedback could be easily gamed, but that shouldn't mean that it should be moderated.
