Padding Trust, ( at the very least), will skew others on the same Web Of Trust (WOT). Perhaps a Neutral should be used in many cases of personal opinion on a user. Examples: "I like what he said." , "I trust this person", "Sold a widget for 0.00001 BTC", "Great guy", and so on.
I have excluded several because a 1 trade, 2 post Newbie showed up as Trusted on my WOT.
Also, maybe the community should adopt a minimum buy/sell/trade value before actually handing out a Positive. I think this has been brought up before, IIR.

I'm in agreement with this right here. Doesn't feel right that a person can spend 8$ and get them a pretty green mark.

I cannot say 1 way or the other if these users were buying the email deal just for the green mark but I can say I find it strangely odd that Atriz, Decoded, and Jamal all purchased this. I would like the Atriz=decoded discussion reopened myself just because I feel that could be possible.

I know that jamal has a skype group in which decoded is a member and either decoded created an account and joined it with Atriz or Atriz joined it by referral. I also remember when I tagged Cazkys account from a thread in which only Atriz had replied in, I strangely got an add on skype from Decoded thanking me for tagging the guy. Coincidence? Maybe.

Regardless I do agree that positives and neutrals should be handed out more sparingly.
