One of the reasons people use bitcoin or any crypto currency is to eliminate the need to trust the other party.
The use of scammer ratings and trust ratings increases the ability of people to rely on trust in their transactions.
BitcoinTalk forums should remove all references to scamming, scammers, scams, trust and the like, in order to decrease the community's ability to rely on trust, and encourage business models that are transparent and do not rely on trust.
Thoughts?
I'm pretty sure the whole world economy and pretty much every business that ever existed is built on trust, I mean even being friends with someone means to trust in them, so if you have a better idea, feel free to say so, but removing the scammer tag will only cause other issues, and also how can anybody trade if they cannot trust one another?
