Remove them from your trust list or put a "~" in front of "Default Trust" in your trust list and their ratings won't count toward your score.
That's not true. Their rating won't count towards the score
you can see yourself.
Everyone else will still see the negative rating if it is placed there by DT, no matter what your trust list is.
Shit, sorry. Didn't mean to offer incorrect information. I realize I didn't quote the comment I was referring to in my original post. Here's that quote below:
My nice 37+ rating (earned over 2-3 years) turned orange -1 without having ever had business with that "man" immediately.
Your rating was 0. None of the users that have left you positive ratings are part of the default trust system (depth 1 and 2), therefore their ratings don't affect you score unless you have a custom list (which seems to be the case here).
SO according to Lauda if none of the positive ratings are part of the default trust system they won't affect the score - is this ONLY applicable to positive ratings? So any negative rating impacts the score regardless of whether the negative rating is coming from someone in your trust network? Thanks.
