unlike some of the "scam busters", i don't view including/excluding people from one's trust list as a proper basis for public accusations or red tags.
I don't know what box I fit into, but my understanding has always been that red trust is for shady behavior/scams, and inclusions/exclusions are to be used to express confidence in another member's judgement as far as their leaving feedback. That might not be others' understanding, of course.
From where I sit, the issue is NOT the Trust Rating system... The real issue is the way some people are using it... People misuse/abuse things in life all the time, but it doesn't make the thing "bad" per se.
Yeah, of course. And the trust system here is a bit....complex, to say the least. We've got green/black/red trust, we've got flags, and we've got inclusions/exclusions to trust lists. It's no wonder it's a free-for-all.
