I'm not particularly well versed with the trust system on this forum, but it does seem pretty irrelevant considering that anyone can put anything they want on someone's profile.
Maybe there will be a change for something more relevant in the future?
Well, I don't know.
In a way I don't mind the trust system, and it does allow for people to pass on information to others, but I think there needs to be more verification involved and less "He said, she said" in the system. Some big players can negative-trust someone if they just disagree with their opinion, and I think that is massively unfair for a lot of members.
