I know I'm not
the mods or Theymos
but according to the numerous statements I read about the trust system, there's no reason this would be breaking any rule
You would have to be directly put in the DefaultTrust list by theymos himself to be at depth=1 though
Otherwise you'd be at depth>=2, so your own trusted users would be at depth>=3 in the DefaultTrust list, so people with original settings (DefaultTrust and depth<=2) wouldn't trust those
Out of interest how do you get put in the default trust list? Do you have to do a trade directly with Theymos or just appear to be trustworthy by doing other successful trades etc?
