And I want to insist on my suggestion regarding trust: guest should see some trust. Default trust would make sense but any trust. Non registered users are still being scammed by known scammers because they don't see the tags.
I'd also like to see trust on all boards that show signatures. I'm mainly thinking about user Velkro, who advertises his scam site in his signature and mainly posts on boards that don't show trust ratings.I doubt theymos would change it but I'd like the option to choose at least. Maybe it should be hidden by default but a toggle option to show trust in all sections could be given for those that want it.
For years I've been unhappy with how DefaultTrust ended up as a centralized and largely-untouchable authority...
What is more centralized and untouchable authority than you unilaterally getting to exclude people from default trust no matter how many others trust them?
I agree. I think we're needlessly complicating an already complicated system even more and I don't see how much different this system is. I think it will probably actually involve more collusion and backroom deals to exclude people to get them off DT. Older users with friends here will benefit more from it whilst newer users will still be flummoxed by it.
However, there's a small problem. Complete removal isn't possible without theymoses manual intervention, and this:
Theymoses and his holy default trust commandments.
