I am totally schoked. I have never imagine that a forum can have such a fucked up trust system.
It worked well in your case - prevented you from scamming an innocent user.
Yes, I am totally agree with you. You're at this moment a reason why I think the system is wrong.
Ok, so you would prefer a system where new users could not be prevented from scamming?
Do you think that would help the forum community, or just the scammers?
