that is pretty weird. you have many positive trust and only one neg from Vod...why is your overall trust turned to crap?

That is weird. One negative trust alone shouldn't turn a person's trust like that - esp when he has so many positives.

Since this thread is in Meta, maybe Theymos will see this and address it.

If the most recent rating is a negative (I think while ignoring neutrals), then that person's trust rating will either be negative or will be a triple question mark. theymos already has addressed this situation specifically

It looks like no matter what if the last feedback you receive is negative then you will either have a ?? ? Trust score or a negative score.

Correct. Your trust network is assumed to consist of people who are basically reasonable. So if any trusted ratings are negative (which means "this person is probably a scammer, watch out!"), then this should be taken very seriously. That's why a single negative rating can easily cause a loss of 100+ trust points in this new algorithm. And if the most recent rating is negative, then this is a strong indicator that the person may have been running a long con which has turned into a full-blown scam.

If anyone is abusing this by reposting negative trust unnecessarily or giving out negative trust too easily, then you should remove them from your trust network.
