I encourage anyone to create their own custom Trust list!
Custom Trust lists have
large recursive implications because the users you trust directly (Depth 0) make you trust the ones they trust (Depth 1), and the users they trust (Depth 2)
(edited selfquote from DireWolfM14's thread, which is the reason I created this topic). This is assuming your
Trust depth is set to the default value 2.
Distrust has no recursive implications: if you exclude someone, you distrust his Trust list and it doesn't further affect your own Trust list. However, if someone on your Trust list distrusts someone, you distrust that user on the next Depth level.
So, who do you trust?I already made a
Trust list viewer, but that only shows who has who on Depth 0.
Today, I add a
Trust Depth viewer.
The forum's
Trust settings show each user in all Depths. To keep the list readable, I show each user only once, on the highest Depth level he's in.
These lists only show the custom parts, I haven't included DefaultTrust. For your own list, you can see the same on Trust settings if you remove DefaultTrust. For anyone else, you can use my list. I've produced data up to Trust Depth 4, based on last Saturday's
trust data dump.
DisclaimerI hope I used the right assumption on how to calculate Depth 2 and deeper. From what I've checked, it should be correct, but please let me know if I made a mistake.
If it's useful, I'll do weekly updates. If nobody uses it, I'll abandon this project. I turned theymos' 150 kB file into 1.8 GB of data, and it grows exponentially when someone trusts more users.
Limited Trust DepthFor most users, the number of users trusted expands as the Trust Depth goes deeper. For others, such as
raj13, it ends at Depth 2.
