ELI5/ I don't understand how could this be helpful for the community. Everyone will start seeing the trust of userX like this, no?
Me : userX Neutral for example
Member1 : userX -1024 (never contacted him nor can browse his 100 pages history before dealing with him)
Member2 : userX +1024 (same comment)
It will all depends on the people you trust who can change side at any moment (plenty of examples of escrow & previously trusted person).
I suggest to have 2 trusting system if, the new one...but let us keep the actual one enabled (checking an option in the parameters)

Back to topic : same drama every week or so (maybe everyday?)... Sometimes i am asking why we are here in the first place to see this happening over and over...
