I agree that there should be a yellow trust rating for other stuff (0 btc risked, but bad behavior).

However, I also think that it is unfair that some people like TradeFortress or John can leave a (fake?) trust ratings to anyone that they do not like and immediately put the guy in red, and in trouble.

Yes, they are trusted.
Yes, they did good things.

But it gave them too much power....

This is why I made this thread. Someone came to me and asked I remove positive trust from a person because they left unjustified negative feedback. I thought it was fine because the person who neg-repped did not enter an amount risked amount, which I didn't think caused the "on-forum" trust rating to change to that. He pointed out I was wrong.

In many ways, trust gives people all the power of a moderator in commerce (except to literally censor the person), but with none of the responsibility. I mean - with someone like TF or John who've accumulated so much trust, there's around a 0% chance of revoking their positive trust rating in the default list. I don't dislike the system, though - I just think it'd be nice if they could "moderate" without having to give that big red might-as-well-be-a-scammer tag - basically just give people more options in moderating. Alternately, something like a "tag" system for negative feedback could be interesting. When leaving feedback, there could be a box for up to x short tags. If the person leaving feedback is trusted by the person browsing the forum, those tags would appear in the on-forum trust panel.
