I want there to be consistent, objective, and equitable rules, not purely a popularity contest which currently determines the current trust system.

I'm not against any of that

But I don't expect there will ever be "rules" for the Trust system.

And that's why it will remain broken because Theymos insists on leaving everything arbitrary, open to selective interpretation, and systemic abuse.

as do i, but I also want world peace, no racism ,more proper wealth distribution and the end of all pandemics.

None of which is very likely to happen.

Except all I am advocating for is some clear and objective standards, not anything as lofty as world peace.

"Equitable trust" sounds like some sort of financial group. Trust isn't meant to be equitable. Trust is earned. You aren't just entitled to it because you think you deserve it.

What you want doesn't come into it. The only thing that matters is who people trust and who people don't trust. If people don't trust you, there is no rule that can change that. So if you want something to change, maybe consider starting with your conduct.

Whether you choose to take this as a general observation or a personal attack is up to you, but I find the more people bitch about the trust system, the more suspiciously I view them. Maybe take a break from this little campaign of yours and stop trying so damn hard. You probably aren't doing your cause any favours in the eyes of others.

Weird you had to literally manufacture a quote there to make your point. I never said "Equitable trust". You aren't interested in what I actually said, only what you can re-frame my argument (AKA strawman) to mean so you have a hope of some semblance of having an argument against it. What we have isn't a "trust system" is it a "popularity system". It is amazing how desperate people like you are to make this about me while you simultaneously chastise for making it about me when I attempt to defend myself. If you got to be any more full of shit you would burst.
