Changed thread name: post whatever stupid shit goes on through "trust drama" here if you'd like. Everyone needs to relax (maybe take 420 to do so?) & stop creating problems where there are none .
Last update:
"Counter." I didn't cut anything off, that's really the only thing he put lol.
Just expressing my thoughts, trying to NOT come from a biased point of view (though currently, I am victim of these problems too).
Not sure about a solution, it's too easy for one to subjectively scammer-tag people without repercussions because they will endlessly argue about the validity of the trust.
The trust that I found that led me to this post (apart from my obvious circumstances) was left by yahoo62278 on Thule: "This user has some issues. Dealing with him may lead to personal vendettas or major smear attempts."
User has some issues... May lead to... Hmm. I wouldn't think negative (scammer) trust is required to say this. Neutral works just fine. I didn't look at this user's other trusts - but if this one is there: bound to have many users affected in the same way.
It's a tit for tat kind of reputation system, which is fucked. On the flip side, it is too easy to gain trust too. Really not sure of any solution (but whatever the old system was, seemed to have less flaws)? Not sure, maybe now more people add more people to trusted lists, so many more people have reputation building or destroying power.
