So anyone can just give out a red trust arbitrarily or at his or her own discretion...wow

You say that like it's a flaw. That's the entire purpose of the trust system - unmoderated, and at the users' discretion. That's why most DTs have a trust page filled with retaliatory feedback from raging scammers.

Can we for a second stop complaining about merit begging spam, and consider the spam complaining about merit begging.
It's all just the same repetitive posts complaining about newbies.

Absolutely. Meta is a shit show right now. Between the merit beggars, those praising the new system in a hope to get merit, those complaining about the new system, those posting guides on how to get merit, and those complaining about all the aforementioned categories, it's hard to find a decent topic.

Just wait a week or two for the rage to pass. It was the same in January/February.
