Re: Trust Selfscratchers: how every DT1 user changes their own trust
Thanks for continuing the list while I was watching TV 
When you exclude someone to see the difference, you see the differences on DT2.
However, when you include someone, you put him at Depth 0, and you see not only his Depth 1 (which would be DT2 if the user is on DT1), but also his Depth 2 (which would be DT3 if the user is on DT1).
So for the excluded DT1 users, you're effectively comparing their "would be" Trust score to DT3 instead of DT2.
(I made a Personal Full Trust Depth viewer for all users to see the large recursive implications inclusions have.
*Excluded DT1 users. The third column shows the trust they would have if they weren't excluded.
You can't "blame" the excluded DT1s (entirely) for this based on my data. Take OgNasty for example: you say he'll have positive feedback from 47 more unique users, but he has only included 39 users who left him positive feedback, so that can't be right.When you exclude someone to see the difference, you see the differences on DT2.

Additionally this kind of ranking doesn't take into account that people such as myself and OGNasty largely use the trust system AS IT WAS DESIGNED as a system to build trust networks for trade, and generally trading with people builds trust. WHO KNEW? Of course Loyce's list didn't include your favorite targets so, you made sure they were included and featured for their crimes.
I am sure none of this has anything to to with people criticizing your exceptionally abusive pals atop the DT list. Of course every one knows after being around almost a decade and being trusted with thousands in value trading with hundreds of users and still ranking below known con artists, abusers, and people I have never even heard of before is clear manipulation on my part
