I think theymos should go back to cultivating a good (default) trust list.
I dont think the current experiment is a success.
Not only this experiment is not a success but is a total failure, FAILURE with CAPITAL letters. 3-4 guys are commanding the forum, the ranking of the forum in Alexa is down and and the traffic is also down. I am not feeling strange about these stats, it will only deteriorate further and only because of the BIG flaws in the trust system.
Another fact I want to add is that these new 3-4 or a bit more persons are even damaging users who have been here for much longer than them and have a history of trading goods worth thousand of dollars and yet they don't decide anything but these new users do, how fucked up is that ?
