Here is roughly what I had in mind:
Instead of the current:
I think non-guests and non-newbies deserve a better warning than the tiny inconspicuous "#".
The answer is "no".

Add a one-click option to convert an old (pre-flag-system) red trust rating to a newbie/guest yellow box flag. There are many of those ratings with proper references that really should be visible to guests. All other rules would still apply, it would be just a shortcut to make it easier for some folks who look out for scams in Marketplace, ANN/ICO dumpster, etc and would likely be adding hundreds of these flags now.

Color confusion. The count of red ratings should be red, not orange. The "+" / "-" signs should be the same color. The green should be more green (not sure if it still turns dark green at a certain value like it used to be). For example:
+2 / =1 / -10
instead of
+2 / =1 / -10

More color confusion. The newbie flag (the "yellow box") has this wording:
"... This determination is based on concrete red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with ..."
The "red flags" part trips my OCD alarm. I know it's figurative but still. Plus there might be some cultural misinterpretations. I think it should be replaced with "warning signals" or "danger signs" or something like that.
I wish the "#" would be more prominent though, and the less-than-3-supporters contract violation flags had some sort of indicator too. Not red and scary, just more visible.
