then he should have had moderators help him. that is what mods are for right?

[...]

the community can not be left to govern itself. the mods need to be overseeing this forum, including dishing out scammer tags when appropriate. the current system is not effective, its sloppy and lazy.

More or less. Moderators moderate.

Besides, there's no big different between having a default trust list a trusting just moderators. With a trust depth of 1, both come down to letting theymos choose who can label scammers as such.

the current system is ripe for abuse. aside from idiots like goat leaving BS feedback whats stopping somebody from using multiple accounts to build up trust on one account to scam on it later? nothing.

Feedback from users who aren't on your trust list won't affect the trust rating you see. The untrusted feedback is even hidden by default, so it has little impact.
