Why should we trust a green trusted member? because another green trusted member has left him/her a positive feedback. how could we trust the two green trusted members? because they all are trusted by theymos? but theymos doesn't trust some of the green trusted members.
If I want to trust them then I am allowed to do so. If I believe there is value in the green trust and I wish to make an agreement with one of the I am allowed to do so. I get to decide how much value the trust colour has for ME. Just as you and everyone else here are free to do the same or the opposite its your choice big boy!
Not true, we're forced to trust a selected few by default or distrust a few by default. we don't actually have a choice, this is an illusion of free will. somebody like suchmoon would tag me just to say that I'm not even worth 0.01 after being here for 2.5 years.
We are forced to live with this unfair system unfortunately if we want to be a part of this community. I know it as well. I have no complaints other than speaking my mind.
Again, people are leaving -+ trust for anybody they want and the ones with the power of giving default -+ trust are abusing it, they have a cartel and they are using this community to build an empire. and we are the village idiots they say.
