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.
