You dont need to use the default trust.
You can make your own trust list.
Majority of people here are just to lazy to do it.
Somehow i dont see much difference or any advantage over your own private trust list?
I do this myself, great idea to do so.
Now I have to say, even though I don't have negative trust from a DT member, I just had my trust score thrown in my fucking face a few hours ago while trying to sell some bitcoin. I refused to send the bitcoin first, and the dude says he's got better trust than me and blah blah blah. So having a lot of untrusted negatives does have an effect if you're trying to do deals. Other than that, this is just a chat forum with a feedback system that allows anyone to neg anyone else, and overall it should be a very small part of anyone's life and shouldn't be a cause for ear-smoking. Kiklo went off the deep end, just like mixan did. I'm not surprised he got banned.
