The trust system in bitcointalk has become a joke now. It was a joke few years back when I first came here when I was not aware of many things and used to lurk around trying to gain knowledge from everyone and getting to know the forum and how things work here.
It never improved in any manner or so during this period and now we have a number of people - who even though people try to defame them, they are actually fighting the scammers, account sellers, ICO shills bumpers and whatnot - they are the ones who get excluded from Trust lists of "so-called" trusted people.
Considering this forum to be the biggest discussion site for the crypto community we need to have a strong ground on what is right and what is wrong and act accordingly. People will come to this forum because they want to know about crypto and while we are trying to get everybody know about scammers and how they could get scammed here and/or get involved unknowingly in criminal activity - it is our forum members who are in a "power-war" among themselves. Although this is seen in every forum/community there need to be mutual understanding between people which is definitely lacking here.
But thats just my opinion.
BTW why did QS make this thread? Just curious
Theymos could have made it. Or some other "reputable" member of the forum too or even a NeutralTrust Member. I can see where this bandwagon is going ultimately.
