Again, you are only interested in your own definitions for what trust is and how it should be decided and totally ignoring the reality that some times (but not always) if some one is reputable in trade, that is to say they do what they say they will do when money is involved, it is representative of their ability to leave honest ratings.
What the hell are you talking about? Of course sometimes (but not always) people who are reputable traders are good at leaving honest ratings too. I'd say most of the times that's the case, but not always.
Now you're wrongly assuming I don't agree on that basic point (or are you blatantly lying to try and make me look irrational? or do we really speak different languages and are unable to communicate?).
The point here is receiving trust from somebody must not be the reason to add somebody to one's trust list, not even being trustworthy is reason enough to add them to the trust list. We must add people to our trust list if we trust they will leave proper feedback. That must be the reason. Of course several times the same person is trustworthy and good at leaving feedback, but not always. And sometimes this trustworthy, good-at-leaving-trust person happened to have left us positive trust, but that's just a coincidence. It must not be the reason to be included in our trust list.
That's why the fact a DT1 user modifies their own trust doesn't necessarily mean they're abusing the trust system, but it could be the case, especially if the number is understandably big as in Dabs' case. It's worth looking in more detail, and that's the purpose of this list.
By you pretending this is invalid and wrong, yes, you are precisely telling me which metrics I should use to gauge trust and applying moral values to them. Keep wagging that finger your highness.
I'm not pretending anything. You're the one making wrong assumptions and attacking based on that, as usual.
