On a side note LoyceV is planning on adjusting the wording on their custom trust list viewer to try and clarify the meaning behind inclusions and exclusions.
Sample:

LoyceMobile Trusts these users' judgement:
Instead of:

LoyceMobile Trust:

Theymos describes it like this:
Quote
List the users who you trust to have good trust ratings and good trust lists, one user per line. Prefix a user's name with a tilde (~) if you want to exclude them from your trust network. If you want to trust someone whose name begins with a tilde, prefix their name with a backslash.
But who even reads that?

I would like to see the difference between "Trust lists" and "Feedback" explained more clearly on the forum:
Don't confuse your Trust list with Feedback though:
  • Feedback: people you trust (or don't trust: red)
  • Trust list: people who's judgement on others you trust (or don't trust: ~)

But I'd also like to see custom Trust lists promoted the way the April Fools joke was promoted on top of each page. That would be a good way to reach many users who haven't created their own Trust list yet. Currently, only a handful of people create their first Trust list each week, and most users have never edited it at all.

As long as it's on the user's Trust page then I think it's fine.
Agreed!

It also wouldn't hurt if we could see how someone has voted (supported/opposed) on flags (others have raised this elsewhere previously).
See Personal Trust Flag viewer for malevolent (although I agree it's not ideal this isn't shown anywhere on the forum).
