I haven't had much to do with trust as I don't do any trading, but I'm starting to think that it should be associated with some of the breaches of the community merit rules. Exchanging merits, and buying and selling them is an intent to deceive the forum and its members, and I think it indicates a lack of moral fibre. This will probably influence the trading policy of the member in question.
I'm not sure that I understand how your proposal differs from the existing system.
I want to have my own trust where I qualify X because he is a trusted member of the community and disqualify Y because he is trading merit for example. I want to keep always an eye on the DT, i don't want to add for example a trusted member because merely 80% of his trust are about broken English and bought accounts...
I don't know if people will understand what i am trying to say. This idea passed from my deep mind to my keyboard without being reviewed by the supreme court to validate it.

Thanks will take a look on it.
