There is another weird but expected potential effect when reading the trust scores: The more people that use a custom trust list, the more visions we have for the same user profile. Say you and me have very different customized trust lists. The trust score we may see on a potential scammer will differ depending on our inclusions in our Trust list, perhaps to the extent of being green coloured on one of our views, and red on the other.

The next logical step is to read through the actual trust feedback, and not let the score be a decisive feature (*). Here I believe the feedback we see is the same, but the classification on trusted and untrusted feedback may differ for each feedback tied to the profile we are looking at. Add to that that DT changes potentially every month, and we could have some strange things going on, with multiple diverging visions of the same profile’s trust score depending on the observer.

(*) Of course, it is the reading of the feedback that should help us understand the score, and eventually the profile we are looking at. I guess that a large fear for campaign signature bearers is that Campaign Manager exclude people from campaigns based on trust score, without normally reading through the feedback to accept red trusted profiles.
